About Golf Coaching
My Take on Golf
Golf is way more than hitting balls. For me, it's a mix of self-awareness and having a blast outdoors. I want you to pick up the game, love it, and actually look forward to every session.
All Ages, All Levels
I coach anyone keen to learn - total newbies, old hands, kids, grandparents. My youngest was 3, my oldest, pushing 80! You can come solo, bring your little ones, or round up friends for group lessons.
How We Roll
I start with the basics so you’ll actually feel comfortable out there. For beginners, we kick off with a 10-session plan. We work ‘Green to Tee’ - you’ll get comfy with putting first, then build up to the big swings. Private and group coaching is always tailored to you. The driving range is cool, but most of the magic? Happens right on the course - that’s why I do on-course golf coaching to get you playing real scenarios fast.
Golf for Everyone
I'm big on making golf truly accessible. Coaching people with disabilities is close to my heart. I work hands-on with golfers with vision impairment at Purple Academy, using touch and breathwork to help connect the mind and body.
Camps for Juniors
My junior golf camps are all about fun and skill. In Coorg, kids get a full-on golf experience, yoga, outdoor stuff, and more. Day camps at KGA mix golf, fitness, and movement - no boring drills.
More Than Just Technique
Good golf needs solid basics, but also a strong body and mind. I team up with fitness experts for golf-specific training. We’ll work on tempo, relaxation, and getting rid of those annoying habits. Trust me, your swing will thank you. Sometimes you just gotta say, "sollppaaa beddaaa paaa" (I don’t want that old swing).
Where I Coach
Catch me at Karnataka Golf Association (KGA), Bangalore Golf Club, and Coorg Golf Links.

My Story
Hey, I’m Nikki. Kodagu is in my blood, #childrenofcauveramma and all that. My heart beats for our land, our people. Coorg Wellness Foundation’s Barefoot Marathon? That’s my jam—running barefoot, feeling the mud, building real community. What really grounds me? Coaching golf to visually impaired kids with Enable India. Watching their joy, it’s pure magic. Reminds me, body is all we truly own. Take care, ask for help, stay humble.
