About us

You know the feeling - you hit a decent shot, but it still ends up in trouble. You try tip after tip, tweak your swing, and your score still doesn’t really change. That was me too.🫤

Eventually, I stopped obsessing over my swing and started asking smarter questions.

Where should I actually be aiming? What’s the worst place I can miss? Is there a smarter way to play this hole that fits my natural shot shape?

Of course there is!

At first, I was just figuring it out for myself. Then I started helping a few friends - including guys who played professionally. I even caddied for one of them. What surprised me was how much better they played when we created a clear, simple game plan.

Not because they changed their swing - but because they stopped making silly mistakes.

Strategy made everything easier.

Bad shots became manageable. Blow-up holes disappeared. And even when they weren’t swinging their best, they still had a plan to save the round.

Eventually, I began working with recreational golfers who just wanted to enjoy the game more and finally play to their potential. I simplified the process, removed the technical fluff, and saw the same results:

• Better decisions
• More confidence
• 5 to 10 strokes shaved off their game - without grinding on the range

They weren’t playing perfect golf. They were just playing smarter. And that’s the heart of CleverGolfer.

Hey, I’m Žiga - founder of Clever Golfer and the coach behind the Clever Golf Strategy Challenge.

My mission is simple.
To help recreational golfers play better golf without being overwhelmed by swing technique or wasting time on the range with drills that never translate to the course.

Over the years, I’ve worked with many golfers who were stuck. They tried all the usual things - swing tips, YouTube drills, even private lessons, but nothing seemed to stick when they stepped onto the course.

That’s what pushed me to go deeper.

I became a certified Golf Digest Instructor and Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Certified Coach, and I’ve really dug deep in on-course strategy and performance coaching - but always with one question in mind: What actually helps recreational golfers play better - simple & fast?

After years of trial, error, and coaching golfers of all skill levels, I discovered that the fastest way to improve isn’t by changing your swing.

It’s by playing smarter, planning your shots, and doing a few performance drills that build skill of hitting the right shots on the golf course.

Who's This For

What We Actually Teach (and Who It’s For)

We don’t fix swings. We fix how you play the game.

CleverGolfer is built for everyday golfers - especially those who shoot somewhere between 80 and 110, who love the game but feel stuck.

You’ve tried tips. You’ve tried swing tweaks.
You’ve probably spent hours on the range...
And yet, your scores still bounce up and down - or just don’t move at all.

That’s where we come in.

At CleverGolfer, we teach you how to actually play better - by making smarter decisions, preparing properly, and learning how to manage your game in a simple and repeatable way.

We give you a 4-step strategy framework that’s easy to apply - no matter your swing.
And we pair it with short performance drills to help you control your shots, build confidence, and stop wasting strokes on avoidable mistakes.

This is for golfers who want results without rebuilding their swing, obsessing over mechanics, or wasting time on things that don’t transfer to the course.

If you want to stop guessing, play to your strengths, and finally feel like your scores reflect your true potential… You're in the right place!
