A golf lesson that needs to be experienced to be appreciated

by Cameron on September 17, 2008

Those little shots…

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…

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 [...]

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)

Automatic is not a quick fix

by Cameron on 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. No [...]

I made the mistake

by Cameron on March 23, 2008

Dear golfer,
I had to apologise  to a client during the week. It was my fault not his.
After a lesson my client went away excited about playing golf more instinctively and automatically. Unfortunately he hadn’t quite grasped the concepts fully and didn’t make any progress.
That’s my fault not his.
We rectified the situation during the week.
The lesson [...]
