GOLF BALL WISDOM: Life Coaching with Golf as Metaphor
Transform Your Life
Through Golf
This isn’t about a perfect swing or keeping score.
It’s about showing up—especially when you’ve spent most of your life doubting if you were good enough to even try.
I’m Keith Goff. I’ve battled addiction. I’ve stumbled through fatherhood. And for as long as I can remember, I’ve lived with a quiet voice in my head telling me I wasn’t enough.
But the golf course? It gave me space to breathe. To reflect. To let go of shame and start believing in something again—myself.
Golf Ball Wisdom was born from that journey.
I’ve spent over 20 years coaching people from all over the world—on snow-covered mountains where fear, pressure, and doubt show up fast. I’ve taught hundreds how to trust themselves, find focus, and push through the hard stuff. I’ve got a degree in human development, and I’ve lived the kind of pain you can’t fake your way out of.
That’s why I’m here—to walk with you. Not as an expert with all the answers, but as someone who’s been through the fire and found a way to grow through it.
If you’re carrying something heavy and don’t know where to start, I get it. You’re not broken—you’re just stuck.
Let’s pick up a club and take one honest step forward—together.

I help young men build confidence, emotional strength, and clarity—especially when life feels like it’s pulling them in every direction.
My coaching approach is shaped by my own story. I know what it’s like to feel lost, to battle addiction, and to carry around the weight of self-doubt and pressure for years. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve questioned my worth. I’ve felt stuck in a life I didn’t recognize.
But through that journey, I found a way forward—by doing the inner work, by learning to listen to myself, and by using the game of golf not just as a sport, but as a mirror. A way to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with who I wanted to be.
With a background in human development and over 20 years of experience coaching people through fear, pressure, and mindset blocks, I now guide others through their own turning points.
My focus is on mental wellness, self-discovery, and personal growth. And I use the principles of golf—focus, resilience, patience, and adaptability—to help young men grow into who they were meant to be.
Golf Ball Wisdom didn’t just improve my game—it improved my life.
