Why golf can be hard
I found this site late last year and have been tossing up whether to write about Dan’s mission. I’m conflicted because to put your dreams out there, to tell your story, requires lots of courage. And sometimes it’s all too easy for others to be critical of what you’re trying to do. To keep going,…
An automatic golf swing
Grayden has been reading my stuff for years. We’ve done a lot of back and forwards via email (don’t think we’ve actually spoken yet) and he has been a regular contributor on many of the blog posts. Grayden’s progress has been real – there’s been ups and downs but I’m sure now he is playing…
Lost Passion
Golf has been my passion for 25 years. But last year it was like BB King says,”the thrill is gone.” How can I get that feeling back for the game? Here’s my take: You’ve gotta stop thinking so much and trying so hard to swing correctly. It’s time for you to take a deep breath…

Expanding on nothingness
James wrote: Great story, Cameron, and a great game. Would you expand on how you resisted reverting to classical thinking in the middle of the round? Thanks! Here goes… This was a breakthrough round for me – I don’t think I’ve shot 8 under before. The only other time I got to eight under the…
Doing something different.
Received the below from James… Back in the late seventies and early eighties when I was stationed at MCAS Cherry Point, I used to golf with a lot of retired Marines. I gleaned a good bit of wisdom from them, and want to share this piece of advice I got from Jerry on the tenth…
