A different mindset for better golf
Golf always gives you a next shot. You can hit a terrible shot over the fence or have a shocker of a day and console yourself with the fact there is always the next shot or the next round. But the problem with this is you can fall into some poor thinking. Because you get…
A better way to practice your golf
Here’s a better way to practice golf. Don’t keep practicing success. Push yourself a little so you make a few errors and you feel a little uncomfortable. This doesn’t mean you try the impossible shot – but strive to reach for those shots that seem slightly out of reach. Why? Because this is how you…
A painful lesson
Here’s a painful story from last weekend. The temptation was not to write this. The embarrassment too great and the easiest this to do was hide and ignore it. But the lesson I’m about to share with you is too important to keep hidden. If you feel you’re not getting the most out of your…

The most horrible golfing problem
