"I have been to many teachers around the country, all of which I have learned from, but Tyler is unique in that he has the ability to tie it all together. He was able to clear my mind of useless clutter and get straight to the cause of my issues."
"In my opinion, Tyler is one of the most knowledgeable people in the world concerning what the arms and hands do in the golf swing."
“I’ve met a lot of people in the golf industry over the last 17 years and Tyler Ferrell is one of the best in the business. He has a good understanding of how to look at research and most importantly, he’s great at figuring out ways to apply that to the masses. I really believe Tyler’s Golf Smart Academy is one of the best resources out there for learning, educating yourself, and improving your own game.”
Yes, go play golf! While you're playing, the GSA system teaches you what to look for from tee to green, so every shot turns into valuable feedback you can use for straightforward troubleshooting and speedy improvement.
Now that you've gathered feedback, it's time to "game plan" your improvement. Using our understanding of the golf swing, physics, and biomechanics (together, what we call "golf science") we'll help you discover the underlying causes of your best and worst shots (and why any troublesome misses may have refused to go away) so you'll know which skills, patterns, or movements to focus on.
This is the fun part. Using our 900+ video library, we'll show you which drills and "teaching moments" will most dramatically improve the skills, patterns, and movements identified in Step 2. You can filter our videos to find exactly what you're looking for, or, by answering a few simple questions, our Mulligan Swing Coach™ can curate a custom playlist of drills to get you on the right path.
Simply tell the Mulligan Virtual Coach what you're trying to improve, and you'll get a short list of videos most likely to help.
Everyone in our member forum is united by a common goal: we all want to play better golf.
We love this game and the joy it brings us, so you can expect lively discussions about everything from driving the ball farther, to swing analysis, to course management, to scoring from 100 yards in.
You can even upload your swing and get suggestions from me and my team of instructors...and often your fellow members.
Because, rest assured, if you're having a problem, someone else is having (or had) it, too, and the feedback will be constructive, respectful and positive.

Golf Smart Academy is backed by science. The information you'll find on this site is good, sound golf instruction and not just for "entertainment value" like many of the other sites out there that employ golf personalities.
Tyler has personally studied the body and collected 3D data on players of all abilities. He has organized the findings from science into simple instruction that teaches the key movements of the golf swing as well as how the movements relate.
Many other programs claim to be validated by science, but most of those instructors have never seen the movements they teach under 3D first hand. Tyler studied under one of the leaders in golf research, Dr. Greg Rose (co-founder of Titleist Performance Institute). Using 3D motion research, he mapped the body's movements that were common among elite golfers.
Here at Golf Smart Academy we give you the "How" and "Why" of our teachings and you can trust that the answer is backed by scientific data.
All memberships come with a free 3 day trial. Just enter your email and subscribe to get started.
Golf Smart Academy has a library of over 1000 videos that has everything you need to know about playing better golf.

We often film videos based on user requests and questions.
All members can ask questions and get direct responses from a coach. Post your questions using the form on the video page and we'll answer right below so everyone can benefit from it.
We think our site is great but don't take our word for it. Just subscribe and give us a try.
Tyler Ferrell designs drill and exercise plans to improve your body and your golf swing. He specializes in decoding AMM 3D graphs and simplifying complex topics in golf and fitness. His ability to tie it all together has made him a highly sought after consultant for top coaches and players alike.
Tyler's unique background allows him to solve complicated problems. Before dedicating his last 15 years to studying golf and fitness, he was an elite golfer that played for an NCAA division I college. There are very few people that have Tyler's diverse experience. He has logged thousands of hours as a sports performance golf trainer, swing coach, and golf analyst using top 3D systems.
Tyler has multiple golf and fitness certifications. He’s a big time nerd:
TPI Certifications - Fitness 3, Medical 3, Golf Pro 3, Biomechanics 2, JR 3, C.H.E.K Level 3, HLC 1, Soma Golf Trainer 1, K-Vest Advisory Board
Obviously, everyone’s results will vary. But clearing up concepts and learning drills to support new technique can trigger rapid improvement. Many golfers improve with a few range sessions.

Golf Smart Academy teaches the movements of the golf swing. If you have an injury, then generally you know what movements to avoid. With our system, you can learn how to balance around your limited joint. This is much safer than forcing your body into awkward positions! Even though our system respects physical capabilities you should be cleared by a doctor before you try any of our drills.
