About Me
Hi, I'm Dan Gaucher, and golf is my passion. I was born and raised in Connecticut, and after a successful amateur career, I turned pro in 2008. Since then, I've dedicated myself to learning as much as I can about golf and the human body.
​
My experience in the health and fitness industry has given me a unique perspective on the biomechanics of the body and how they relate to the golf swing. I believe that understanding the body and its mechanics is key to unlocking a golfer's true potential.
​
As a coach, I work with golfers of all abilities, from beginners to professionals. I take the time to understand my students' goals and aspirations, and then tailor my coaching to help them achieve those goals.
​
I'm proud to have been recognized as one of US Kids Golf Top 50 Golf Instructors in both 2015 and 2016. I'm also a Trackman Level 2 Coach, US Kids Golf Certified Instructor, TPI Level Two Certified Coach, Callaway Certified club fitter, Titleist Certified club fitter, and Golf WRX Featured Writer.
​
Whether you're looking to improve your swing, your fitness, or your overall game, I'm here to help. Let's work together to take your golf game to the next level.

Parent of Long Term Junior
Dan is a fantastic golf coach! He is a patient and personable instructor who gets to know his students individually so he can help bring out the best in them. One of my favorite things about Dan is that he uses a holistic approach to develop all components of the golf game. He incorporates everything including course management, mental game, golf swing, physical fitness, and practice methods.

I have known Dan for most of his professional life. Dan brings a passion and depth of teaching and coaching knowledge to his lesson tee that makes him one of the truly bright young minds in golf instruction today. If I had to send my own son to a fellow Professional , Dan would be on my short list.

I have been making amazing progress under Dan. After three years I can honestly call myself a golfer. What has been particularly helpful is to continue our work throughout the year!
