natural learning

What’s the most important part of any golf swing?
Grip? Stance? Backswing?
Nope. At least not if you ask me.
I believe the critical aspect of any golf shot you play is the walk to the ball. Sound a bit strange? Let me explain myself.
The walk to the ball is critical because it is the time you need [...]

Not giving automatic a fair go. My strong recommendation is to attempt to play automatically and naturally for at least three rounds. My belief [...]

Update on Playing Golf like Tiger

by Cameron on June 30, 2008

After Tiger won this year’s US Open I wrote about why I think he’s so dominant. Briefly, I believe that he is the most automated and natural athlete in the world. It seems he never plays safe. He lets go, and hits every shot like it’s his last. There appears to be little self-doubt, confusion [...]

Best golf

by Cameron on 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. The [...]

Here’s my short answer;
YES!
A more detailed response is;

Courage under fire

by Cameron on June 2, 2008

Do you want to play better golf? Most golfers that write to me do but the vast majority don’t know how to do it.
First of all let’s define what better golf is.
My simple version is being able to play good golf out on the golf course. For most golfers this will be hitting shots and [...]

Driving to the course knowing you’re going to play well

Getting your round back on track

by Cameron on 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 10th [...]

Many golfers spend so much time worrying about their golf swing technique that they have little or no chance of playing their best golf.
Traditional instruction focuses almost exclusively on golf mechanics so it really is not surprising that golfers place a high amount of emotional energy on their golf swing. They don’t know what else [...]
