Golf Mastery: From Mini Tours to Teaching Excellence

Send us a text

Ryan Kukula, PGA Professional and Director of Instruction at Golf Garage, shares his journey from childhood golfing prodigy to competitive player and respected coach while revealing powerful insights about golf improvement and performance mindset.

• Growing up at his father's nine-hole course in Ocean Park, Washington where Ryan and his brothers would run the shop and play golf daily
• Shooting an impressive 63 recently while maintaining the same free-swinging feeling developed in simulator practice
• Competing on mini tours after college and learning that consistently shooting in the 70s wasn't good enough at the professional level
• Developing one-handed chipping techniques during a wrist injury that transformed his understanding of short game principles
• Using simulator practice to develop a freer swing without being attached to outcomes
• Breaking the habit of score-tracking during rounds to stay present and execute shots without mounting pressure
• Setting tournament goals for the upcoming season including pro-ams, sectional majors, and the Pacific Northwest Championship
• Accepting the challenge to help podcast host Darren break 80 before the end of 2025
