About

Mikkel Bjerch-Andresen

I'm a Norwegian golf coach based in Oslo. I spent seven years as an NCAA Division I coach in the US, and I'm now head coach at Vika Golf Club on Aker Brygge. I also help players and families with the path to US college golf, and I write about college golf data.

I came to golf seriously at 14, after growing up skiing, playing football and doing biathlon. I was recruited to Baylor from Norway, so I know the recruiting process from the player's side as well as the coach's side. Across my coaching years I've played or coached around 100 college tournaments, scouted around 140 junior events and hosted around 120 campus visits.
