Golf Technical Consulting for Film and Photo Shoots

Make every golf swing, movement, and detail look credible on camera.

Jordan King Thomas, PGA provides golf technical guidance, talent coaching, and on-set support for film, television, commercial, and photo productions throughout the Los Angeles area.

A nationally recognized golf instructor and Class A PGA Professional, Jordan combines deep technical expertise with an exceptional eye for detail. He knows how golf reads on camera and how to get talent shoot-ready, even when they have limited experience with the game.

Get the golf details right

Golfers notice when something feels off: an unnatural grip, the wrong club, an awkward setup or a movement that does not match the character’s experience. At the same time, what is technically ideal on the golf course is not always what will look best in a specific frame, sequence or creative concept.

Jordan understands both sides.

His experience analyzing movement allows him to identify exactly what needs to change. His ability to communicate clearly helps talent make those adjustments quickly and confidently.

Jordan helps production teams get the details right without losing sight of the creative vision.

Pre-production consulting

Bring Jordan into the process early to review the golf action and identify what the production will need.

Pre-production support can include:

  • Reviewing scripts, concepts, storyboards and shot lists

  • Advising on golf movements, terminology and etiquette

  • Evaluating clubs, equipment and golf-related props

  • Identifying what talent should learn before the shoot

  • Recommending adjustments based on the planned camera angles

Talent preparation

  • Swing and movement review

  • Equipment and prop guidance
