An automatic golf swing
Grayden has been reading my stuff for years. We’ve done a lot of back and forwards via email (don’t think we’ve actually spoken yet) and he has been a regular contributor on many of the blog posts. Grayden’s progress has been real – there’s been ups and downs but I’m sure now he is playing…
Lost Passion
Golf has been my passion for 25 years. But last year it was like BB King says,”the thrill is gone.” How can I get that feeling back for the game? Here’s my take: You’ve gotta stop thinking so much and trying so hard to swing correctly. It’s time for you to take a deep breath…
The Truth About Automatic Golf
Steady’s Dilemma is a problem for many golfers and it’s most likely holding you back. So what is it? Steady’s Dilemma hit me in the face when I gave a personal golf lesson to John (Steady) Stead. Steady is a regular contributor to the blog and has been a long time customer. But his golf…

Some random golf practice
I had the bug to hit some balls today – haven’t felt it in years. It was pissing rain and I was in the work gear but I didn’t care – loved it! The focus was on hitting the ball and enjoying the experience – absolutely no thought on trying to impress, working on technique…
Why your teacher was probably wrong
I used to hate writing when at school. Assignments and essays used to send me into a spin – I’d panic at the thought of a 500 word deadline. Most of the time they wouldn’t get done or the attempt was so pathetic it was embarrassing. Today is different. Some people say I’ve got some…
My first golfing hero
My Grandfather, Ian Strachan (we call him Gon Gon), was my first golfing hero. He introduced me to the game and bought me my first set of golf clubs. His passion for golf was born in his homeland of Scotland and I’m glad he passed it onto me. He was there, counting every shot, when…
