The Toughest Step
Taking the first step. It’s always the hardest. And it doesn’t matter if you’re trying to play golf more freely, start a business or achieve some other goal. The first step is always the hardest. Golfers are scared. We’re afraid of making mistakes, looking stupid and embarrassing ourselves. This is sad because it’s exactly what…
Time to turn golf coaching on its head
Learning golf the traditional way wasn’t much fun. Looking back now it definitely inhibited my learning and added years to my development. I’ve come to realise that “the system” has got things arse about. Normal golf learning goes like this: Base the learning model on the best player of the era (or of the coach…
How to finish off that good round
I thought the PGA Championship this morning was fantastic. I had an inkling that it was time for Tiger to be overtaken in a final round and it proved to be true. Y.E Yang winning will be great for golf and think of the frenzy this will cause in some parts of Asia? The one…

Too Many Minds
I received the below email from Ben over the weekend. I like it and highlights my thoughts on automatic learning for golf. Too many minds: A while back when on a plane I was watching a Tom Cruise movie called ‘The Last Samurai’, (and yes I know what you’re thinking but the truth is there…
A different type of commitment
Most of us golfers will try anything if we think it’s going to help us improve our game. Here’s a list of the most common; looking for any quick fix changing of golf clubs constant fiddling with golf swing I think this constant search for improvement is admirable but highly flawed. Here’s why; You’re looking…
