How to simplify your golf game
There’s a minefield of information available to us, Google, Youtube, TV, Books and DVDs. And if you feel the need you can spend hours, weeks, months and years trying to get through it all. But does more information help? I think not and if you’re to play your best golf you need to minimise what…
The art of blogging and playing better golf
One of my other jobs is helping small business owners create what I call “education marketing” systems. I’ve helped a number of clients spread the word about their expertise and along the way assist their customers get what they want. It’s a classic win-win.

Why your golf pro has failed you

Phil Scott shows the way to great coaching
Phil’s greatest coaching gift to his son was not to cloud his mind with technique, but keep his swing simple and natural.
