Best golf

June 6, 2008

Playing your best golf doesn’t depend on how expensive your golf clubs, what course you play or how lucky you get. These are “one percenters” that have little or no effect on your score… You will play your best golf if you learn to manage your nerves and anxiety and play without fear or consequences. ...

It's not magic but it's the next best thing…

June 5, 2008

I’ve been receiving emails this week asking if natural and automatic learning can work for the respective senders. Here’s my short answer; YES! A more detailed response is; If you struggle to play consistently then natural learning can help you. If you yip and stuff up those easy putts and chips then automatic playing can ... Read More

Courage under fire

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”. The first thing is that golf really is a difficult game and no matter how much you practise, how good your technique and whether you learn to automate ... Read More

Getting your round back on track

April 22, 2008

Have you ever been playing well and then for some stupid reason you hit a terrible shot? A shot that is so bad that it rocks your confidence and makes you wonder where it came from? It happened to me on Sunday. I was playing well. I had just nailed a tee shot on the ... Read More

Satellite technology and golf

April 19, 2008

It’s now legal for amateur golfers (in Victoria at least – I’d be surprised if all Australian states didn’t have the same ruling – not sure about the rest of the world) to use satellite navigation units (GPS) in competition. I think it is a good thing – making getting the exact meterage (or yardage) ... Read More

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.

If you’d like to experience something different with your golf game you might like to try some of the following; Hit a five iron like it’s your wedge ( high and soft landing shot that only flies about 110 metres or so) Hit the ball the maximum distance with each club. Can you hit you ... Read More

Automatic is not a quick fix

April 5, 2008

I hate quick fix lessons and promises of miracle cures. I don’t believe they exist or offer any long term results. I received an email from someone who downloaded my putting book on Thursday and tried it out on Friday. He didn’t do so well and has decided to revert back to his old ways. ... Read More
