The stupid golfer
Most golfers are process oriented: They turn up, go through their normal routine and hope for the best. Typically they don’t change – they’re locked in and aren’t aware of any new opportunities. There’s also little fear because they rarely step outside their comfort zone. Some golfers play a different game: They’re prepared to step…

This is important but I’ll keep it short. Too many of us try and combine playing golf with thinking golf. By thinking I mean, thoughts on technique, worrying about the score or concern about others.

When playing your way challenges the norms
I believe in being different. It’s not that I’m against traditional concepts, it’s just that most of them haven’t worked that well for my golf game. This is a risky post to write (that’s why I’m writing it) because I could come across as a renegade and golf basher. But that’s not my intention. We…
