From Saturday Morning Kids’ Groups to Coaching From Dubai in 24 Months. Andy Little
Tuesday, 13 October, 2026
For 20 years, Andy Little’s life ran on repeat. Same junior groups, same schools, same capped income. Then, on a balcony in Jamaica for his 40th, he watched a Skillest coach teaching golf from Bali and decided to change everything.Today Andy is fully online, done with lessons by 9am, playing his best golf in a dozen years, and about to split his year between the UK and his new place in Dubai. Baden and Clappy dig into how he got there: nine months of getting nowhere, the pivot that worked, why coaching five-year-olds made him brilliant with 20-handicappers, and his “less is more” system for helping golfers actually improve.If you’re a coach who feels stuck, this one’s for you.00:00 – Intro 01:45 – Born into golf 03:30 – Turning pro and inheriting the juniors 05:00 – 20 years of Groundhog Day 06:45 – The Jamaica balcony moment 08:15 – Turning insecurity into a pricing edge 09:00 – What five-year-olds taught him about coaching 11:15 – Inside an online lesson 12:45 – Building retention through real relationships 16:15 – Early traction 18:15 – Done by 9am 20:45 – Going full-time online and the Dubai move 24:15 – Less is more 26:15 – Honesty in free reviews 28:00 – Educating in-person golfers 31:15 – What’s next 33:45 – Advice for new coaches 37:15 – Wrap-up
