A tough, but ultimately easier, way to fix your golf swing
The other day I wrote about my experience of playing with some great coaches. I’ve received some great feedback from those guys and Scotty reminded me of another, more profound, incident. As mentioned, Scott doesn’t play a lot of golf. He is a once or twice a year golfer at best – this is not…
What I taught 3 of Australia’s best coaches
Last Thursday I got to play golf with three excellent coaches. It was a social outing, but I was keen to learn as much as possible from these guys. Scott Barrow has been talked about here (and here) before, David Rath is the High Performance Manager at Hawthorn Football Club and Damian Farrow is perhaps…
Some bad golf journalism
This article appeared on the ABC News site about Adam Scott’s win in the Australian Masters. For the most part the article is fine, but I don’t like this quote one bit. Unlike at the British Open, where Scott relinquished a four-hole lead with four holes to play in July to let slip what would…

I was completely over golf coaching
It wasn’t that long that I was completely over golf coaching. I had spent years and thousands of dollars getting my swing tweaked and prodded and messing about trying to work this game out. I reached the point when I realised the standard coaching hadn’t really helped me and if anything, hindered my development. I…
A golf lesson learned a little late
This is sort of a continuation of yesterday’s post – thought a story would resonate with more golfers. Here’s the story. It was my first big golf event. I had qualified through to the match play rounds of the State Championships and was paired against a gun golfer. This guy had won a lot of…
The best way to overcome a performance rut
Stop searching for the right answer or the perfect tip to show up. This is the reason you’re stuck. Yep, it’s hard to swing freely when you’re lacking confidence or not sure, but this is exactly what you’ve got to do. Swing the sticks. And do it now. Waiting for “perfect” to show up is…
