The story of two golfers…
Two golfing buddies play every week. They are the same age, work in similar jobs and have three children. They’re both ambitious and have a strong competitive streak. Twelve months ago Steve was playing off 20. Without working on his swing or changing his technique, he has manged to drop his handicap to 12. His…
What You Can Learn From Tiger
OK, so Tiger has done it again. It was an enthralling US Open that was action and drama packed right to the end. Who would have thought it would take 91 holes for Tiger to beat Rocco Mediate, the 157th ranked player in the world? My hat goes off to Mediate. If my memory serves…

A more detailed response is; If you struggle to play consistently then natural learning can help you. If you yip and stuff up those easy putts and chips then automatic playing can…
Courage under fire
G’day there, I’m back after a short break. A question that I keep getting asked is, “I’ve tried automating my swing but I’m still hitting poor shots”. The first thing is that golf really is a difficult game and no matter how much you practise, how good your technique and whether you learn to automate…
A small change that can make the world of difference!
A few years back I discovered that using slightly larger grips had a positive affect on my game. Not only did these bigger grips feel better but they allowed me to swing more confidently and freely. Thin grips can be hard to hold – especially if you have big hands or a bit of arthritis.…
