About Caleb

I'm grateful to be around golf every day. I’m a coach, player, and golf nerd. I’ll tell you about each, but first, my beginning in golf.

My interest in golf began when I was young and only grew through the years. I had a successful junior golf career that led me to college golf, before finding my career in the golf industry. My beginnings in golf were humble, and that’s exactly what I grew to love the game. It showed me how much the game of golf has to offer and helped me get to where I am today.

Coach

I’ve been in golf instruction for 7 years. In my time as a coach I’ve given over 3,000 lessons and worked with more than 500 golfers. I got my start at New Ulm Country Club, and that’s where I’ve spent the majority of my career. I’ve also spent time at Somerby Golf Club (Byron, MN) and in Naples, FL. I currently split time between New Ulm Country Club and North Links Golf Course in Mankato, Minnesota.

Player

Playing golf and competing is how I fell in love with the game. I started playing junior golf in high school, then played college golf at Concordia University in St. Paul, Minnesota before finding the opportunity to begin coaching. I turned professional in 2018 when I joined the PGA of America. As a professional, I’ve played in nearly 100 PGA Section and mini tour events, with 1 win and 20 Top-10 finishes. Twice I’ve shot my lowest round of 63 at Sleepy Eye Golf Club, where I grew up playing. Competing is a substantial part of my schedule each season, and it drives me to want to coach and play even better.

Golf Nerd

When you work with me, you’ll always receive coaching that is not only personalized for you, but backed by the latest research and innovation. In my lessons I use launch monitor data from FlightScope to help measure different data points essential to understanding and improving. You’ll have access to your data report after each lesson if you choose. I’m a sponge for information, always interested in what other coaches are discussing. It’s my job to absorb information, so that I can develop my coaching and rely information to you that’s best for your game.

I am excited to begin our golf journey together and I thank you for putting your trust in Caleb Christensen Golf.

Coaching Philosphy

Caleb's philosophy is simple; uncover the main causes of your inconsistencies and work to correct them while building an understanding of your game and how to play your best. You'll learn to build an awareness for the club face and build solid fundamentals based around skills that you can improve.

Golf is a game that should be athletic and based on motion, not static swing positions. Everyone is an athlete and when you learn to take advantage of what you do and create naturally, your game gets easier to manage. By connecting the golf swing to other athletic and natural motions, it's easier to understand how to achieve the results you want with your swing. Understanding is at the forefront of building for the long term.

Whether you're a beginner or a professional, the same fundamentals are vital to success on the golf course. Solid contact, creating speed, and figuring out your pattern are all it takes to have success tee to green. Spend time on and around the greens when you practice and your scores go down.

Caleb utilizes the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Body-Swing Connection philosophy to help golfers swing more efficiently and without injury. Coaching is focused on Caleb’s key fundamentals while improving efficiency and maximizing physical ability and injury prevention for each golfer.

“There are an infinite number of ways to swing a golf club. However, there is one most-efficient way for each player to swing a club and it is based on what they can physically do.”
