by Cameron on December 17, 2008

It’s highly likely that you don’t need a new golf club (or multiples). Chances are your current set is perfect – that they are good enough and can allow you to play your best golf.
My first set of golf clubs were purchased from Kmart. My Grandparents bought them for me and the total set was [...]

An unforgettable experience

by Cameron on August 6, 2008

I wrote the following story in 2002 after a trip to the UK. Although it’s outdated slightly, the message is still relevant. It’s a little long but contains some great advice and gives an insight into my early golfing concepts.
The 2002 Open Championship (British Open) was my first visit to one of golf’s majors. It [...]

Courage under fire

by Cameron on June 2, 2008

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”.

Why your routine is more important than your golf swing

by Cameron on April 18, 2008

Many golfers spend so much time worrying about their golf swing technique that they have little or no chance of playing their best golf.

by Cameron on April 17, 2008

I’ve been receiving quite a bit of email about golfers struggling with their short game. I think it’s time to cover some of the basics. Before I do that, there is one key issue holding most golfers back…
They don’t practice!
If you are continually let down by poor chipping, bladed pitch shots and duffed bunker shots, [...]

Dealing with pressure

by Cameron on April 14, 2008

With the Masters over for another year I thought it would be a good time to talk about playing golf under pressure. It doesn’t matter how good a golfer you are, you will experience pressure on certain shots, and if you don’t know how to cope with the pressure and nerves you’ll NEVER be [...]

Having a ball

by Cameron on April 9, 2008

Just received a text message from a client who read yesterday’s post.
“Just letting you know I’m having a ball down here fading and drawing the …. out of my five iron “
Two points:

It’s fun doing something different

Good golfing,
Cameron

The Putting Yips

by Cameron on April 2, 2008

The putting yips could be one of the worst things to happen to a golfer. Unless you’ve experienced first hand the fear, self-doubt and embarrassment the yips inflict, you probably don’t understand the fuss.
But they’re real. When your stomach tightens and your mind races you know you’re in trouble. When a short putt becomes ‘mission [...]
