David “Janko” Jankowski
Founder & Owner, Golf Garage VT
David “Janko” Jankowski is the founder of Golf Garage VT and Janko Golf Coaching. He is known for a direct, individualized approach to instruction and for helping golfers build a game that performs consistently under pressure. His coaching experience spans motivated juniors, dedicated amateurs, and competitive players.
Janko’s path to coaching is shaped by a lifelong connection to sport and performance. After growing up in a golf-focused family and pursuing competitive golf, he spent time working in the electrical union and participating in action sports before committing fully to coaching as his profession. That diverse background informs a practical, results-oriented approach to player development.
Coaching Philosophy
Janko’s coaching philosophy is centered on clarity, accountability, and purpose. Each session is designed to identify the key factors that matter most to the individual golfer, eliminating unnecessary complexity and focusing attention where it produces real results.
Instruction is structured and measurable, providing players with clear priorities and a defined plan for practice. Rather than relying on quick fixes, the emphasis is on understanding, execution, and long-term improvement that transfers from the practice environment to the course.
Player Development
Janko works with golfers across a wide range of skill levels, with extensive experience developing competitive juniors and committed amateur players. Every training plan is tailored to the individual, taking into account ability level, goals, schedule, and learning style.
Player development is built through structured practice, honest feedback, and a long-term perspective. Whether preparing for competition or working toward fundamental improvement, the focus is on creating a reliable process that supports consistent performance.
