Finally! Someone speaking some sense
Butch Harmon has made some insightful comments about Tiger Woods in the Wall Street Journal. From a coaching and learning perspective his remarks are spot on. I’m pleased to hear a coach getting away from the technical instruction that’s so prevalent. “For me, and I think we saw this at the Masters, he looks like…
9 year old becomes the coach
I found this video quite moving and inspirational at the same time. It has absolutely nothing to do with golf but hit me between the eyes with an important lesson. Little Cain was prepared to “play the game” before he was famous. He turned up each time and acted like he was a star when…
