A no fuss golfer
Richard is an exceptional golfer. Sadly, most can’t see the brilliance of the way he plays the game. To many, he is quirky and a little unorthodox. To me, Richard plays almost the perfect game. Over the last week I was lucky enough to play five times with him. Each game highlighted the power of…
A Golfing Misadventure
Yesterday was my last chance to catch up with Scotty Barrow before my big move to Queensland. We decided 9 holes were in order and chose a public course just north of the Melbourne CBD. This course has received some publicity as management has been taken over by some prominent golfers/coaches. They have also attached…
Perfect Putting Mindset
“I can’t get comfortable on the greens today”, said Tim on the 5th hole. I was walking around with him for a practice game prior to the Australian Tour School. He was striking the ball superbly, but didn’t have the confidence or feel on the greens. Here’s a snapshot of the remainder of the conversation.…
Still going strong at 82!
This message comes from Harry who’s 82 years young. It’s emails like this that keep me motivated to keep producing content and sharing my ideas. Over the last two months I have reduced my handicap from 26 to 19 not without a lot of practise with the putter. I think this is pretty good considering…
Playing your best golf more of the time

10 things I like about Peter Senior
Peter Senior’s win at the 2012 Australian Open was remarkable. And it had less to do with the fifty-three year old beating bigger, stronger and younger competitors, or taming a difficult course in horrendous conditions. Nope, what was remarkable to me was his attitude. He was almost apologetic. Definitely humble. But certainly proud of his…
Is golf broken?
I caught the end of a conversation on SEN radio yesterday with Kevin Bartlett and Jon Ralph (this link is hopelessly out of date). In fairness to all, I came in towards the end of their chat, but the conversation seemed so biased and over the top that I feel compelled to write about it.…
Typing madness
My mate Andreas was (and still will be) an unbelievable typist. He broke all the school records and I think his best speed peaked at around 120 words per minute. Compared to the rest of us, he was a freak. His fingers danced across the keyboard while most of the class were uncoordinated and clumsy.…
