Fear of failure is a waste

by Cameron on January 21, 2009

Fear of failure is a waste. It’s a waste of energy and a waste of time. Why? Because the absolute worst thing that can happen to you on the golf course is a bad score. Not good but not that bad either.
If you play badly you’re not going to be sacked by your golf club [...]

I'm a player

by Cameron on November 28, 2008

Are you a player? I’d like to think that I’m now a player.
My online golfing buddy is definitely a player.
Most golfers turn up, try hard but in my opinion don’t play golf.  You’re not playing golf if you;

Continually change your golf swing
Believe your technique is the most important element of your game
Are always looking for [...]

You don't swing too quick!

by Cameron on August 3, 2008

So you think you swing too quickly.
I don’t think you do. Swinging quickly is often used as an excuse for a bad shot or the reason why you can’t hit the ball. But it’s nonsense…
If there’s one thing that you must learn to do if you want to play better golf it’s not emotionally evaluating [...]

Four ways to trust your golf swing

by Cameron on August 1, 2008

If only I could trust my swing”, I have heard that many times on the golf course.
Golfers everywhere are looking for the inner belief that they are going to make a good shot. This inner belief is what leads to confidence and ultimately better scores – so it’s worth working out how to do it!
It [...]

Something Controversial

by Cameron on July 17, 2008

Visualisation is not required to hit a good golf shot.
A bit controversial? I’m sure it is, but give me a minute to explain myself.
I have studied sports psychology, dabbled in meditation and even did some NLP for a little while. These disciplines (at least some of the time) require the participants to visualise. These pursuits [...]

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 [...]

So you’ve given automatic playing a go but you’re not getting the results you were looking for. Below I’ve listed the three most common mistakes that will likely be holding you back.
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 [...]

What You Can Learn From Tiger

by Cameron on June 19, 2008

OK, so Tiger has done it again. It was an enthralling US Open that was action and drama packed right to the end. Who would have thought it would take 91 holes for Tiger to beat Rocco Mediate, the 157th ranked player in the world?
My hat goes off to Mediate. If my memory serves me [...]

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 [...]
