We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Daniel Guest. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Daniel below.
Daniel, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. To kick things off, we’d love to hear about things you or your brand do that diverge from the industry standard
“Look, let’s be real. A century! Over a hundred years, and we’re still teaching golf the same way? That’s not progress, that’s stagnation! We’ve been building castles on sand, basing our swings on ‘well, that’s how so-and-so did it,’ instead of hard, undeniable facts. And every instructor? They’ve got their own secret sauce, their own ‘special’ way. It’s chaos! And then they tell you, ‘Years of grueling practice.’ Years! That’s not just outdated, it’s insulting to your potential!
I said, ‘Enough is enough!’ As a teacher, I knew there was a better way. We’re not reinventing the wheel, we’re building a rocket! I dug into the science, the biomechanics, the physics – the truth about how the human body moves. Every other sport has an ideal motion, a blueprint for success. Why should golf be any different?
Forget the band-aid fixes, the endless swing flaws. I’ve created a compass, a guide to the perfect swing. Focus on the right direction, and watch the wrong ones simply vanish. We’re talking consistent, powerful performance, and we’re talking about it in less time.
This isn’t just a swing; it’s a revelation. It’s effortless power, repeatable precision. It’s unlocking the athlete within you, propelling you towards your golfing dreams faster than you ever thought possible. It’s time to break free from the old ways and embrace a revolution. It’s time to play the game you were meant to play!”
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?
For me it was defining what “exactly” Imagen Golf does different and better than our competitors and exploiting that in everything we do. Every advertisement, every social media post, every casual conversation we have with people, every lesson, every everything.
At Imagen we guarantee the student gets better in every single lesson or the lesson is free, period. No fine print, no conditions, no strings, no questions. In 10+ years and over 50K lessons not a single person has ever asked for a refund.
From there just simple common sense marketing 101. We followup each lesson with a text, and an email. We do a monthly newsletter and quarterly announcements. We post to social media regularly and I write for several local media outlets and publications. All of this keeps our customers engaged in the” ImageNation” which result in our students taking 5 times the industry average of golf lessons. It also leads to almost 40% of our new business coming from referrals.
How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?
I spent 30yrs in corporate America and was very successful. Upon turning 55yrs old though it became obvious that ageism was a real thing, at least in my case. Many of the personal traits that were always looked upon as my strengths, outgoing, upfront, honest, free thinking,etc were now seen as disruptive.
People were offended if I challenged their ideas much less their called out their inferior work. I began to hate to go to work something that I had never experience in my entire life.
So it was time to make a change. Not a career change, I had done that 3 times prior in my life and had done well each time. This was going to be a life changing experience, one that would require me to be all in. Ir would require the support of my family and friend and their would be no turning back.
