Drew Steckel
Head Golf Instructor

Recognized as one of the top golf instructors in the country, Drew Steckel has coached players at every level of the game, from competitive amateurs to professional tour players. Named one of Golf Digest's Top Instructors and ranked the #1 instructor in Nevada, Drew is known for simplifying the golf swing and helping players make lasting improvements through clear communication and structured training. His coaching philosophy aligns perfectly with the Total Golf Trainer Performance School model — combining measurable data, video feedback, and hands-on training to help golfers better understand their swing and develop repeatable movement patterns that translate to lower scores and greater consistency. At the Total Golf Trainer Performance Schools, Drew works directly with students to identify swing inefficiencies, build personalized improvement plans, and create a training experience focused on real results both on and off the course.

"Speed of learning beats volume of information. Build belief through reps that work."
