Total Golf Trainer Announces Strategic Partnership with Drew Steckel

Total Golf Trainer (TGT), one of golf's fastest-growing training aid and instruction brands, has officially announced a strategic partnership with renowned golf coach Drew Steckel, marking a major milestone in the company's continued expansion into the highest levels of golf instruction and player development.

Steckel, recognized as Golf Digest's #1 Instructor in Nevada and named among Golf Digest's Best Young Teachers in America, has spent years coaching players across the PGA Tour, LPGA Tour, LIV Golf, Korn Ferry Tour, elite amateurs, and recreational golfers alike.

For Total Golf Trainer, the partnership represents more than simply adding another ambassador — it signals a deeper alignment between elite-level coaching, innovative player development, and the future of modern golf instruction.

“Using the Total Golf Trainer as a primary source of feedback for the past eight years has been a game-changer for all the golfers I coach, from professional players to beginners. It's incredibly versatile training that's easy to see changes and provide feedback to students. Being part of a company of like-minded individuals who are passionate about growing their students' love for the game is a crucial part of how I can contribute to the world of golf instruction.”

“With so much information readily available, it's challenging to provide students with a structured plan for practice and continuous growth. I'm excited to evolve the ever-changing golf instruction landscape and help golfers of all levels improve their game. The Total Golf Trainer offers a comprehensive package that caters to the unique needs of every coach and student.”

The partnership further strengthens TGT's growing reputation among many of the game's most respected instructors and players. Over the past year, the Total Golf Trainer system has gained widespread visibility across professional golf, including notable appearances with major champion Justin Rose during Masters week and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler during preparation sessions at Augusta National. The company's products have also been used and supported by elite players and coaches connected to names such as Nelly Korda, Viktor Hovland, and numerous top instructors worldwide.

Built by a master instructor

At the center of Total Golf Trainer's success is co-founder, inventor, and master instructor Michael Gish, whose vision for simplifying golf instruction has become the foundation of the brand. A certified Jim McLean Master Instructor with more than 20,000 hours of teaching experience, Gish developed the Total Golf Trainer system to provide golfers with feel-based feedback and structured swing training that translates directly into on-course performance.

“Michael has always had a unique ability to simplify the golf swing while still producing elite-level results. What makes Total Golf Trainer different is that it was created by someone who truly understands both the technical and human side of coaching.”

Under Gish's leadership, Total Golf Trainer has evolved into far more than a training aid company. Through TGT Golf Schools, digital education, and a rapidly expanding instructional network, the brand has become a complete player development ecosystem designed to help golfers improve with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Modern brand. Modern media.

Behind the scenes, much of the company's rapid brand growth and modern identity has been driven by Fernando Vega, who oversees the company's marketing, media production, branding, creative direction, and digital strategy. Vega has played a major role in shaping Total Golf Trainer's public image through cinematic golf media, strategic partnerships, social media storytelling, product launches, educational campaigns, and industry-wide branding initiatives that have helped position TGT among the most recognizable emerging instructional brands in golf.

Together, the collaboration between Gish, Steckel, and Vega represents a powerful combination of elite coaching, innovative product development, and modern golf media — all centered around a shared mission: helping golfers of every skill level improve faster and enjoy the game more.

As the golf instruction landscape continues to evolve through technology, data, and content-driven coaching, Total Golf Trainer believes the future belongs to systems that simplify learning while creating meaningful feedback for players. With Steckel now officially joining the team, Total Golf Trainer appears poised to take another major step forward.
