Only when you have clear intention can you begin to create the shot you want to hit We create what we see. Is it possible that you could hit a good shot? Is it possible that the next shot you hit will be the best one you have ever hit in your life? What does […]
Are you focussing on form at the expense of function? We are led to believe that if we make a good swing, we’ll hit a good shot. Sound familiar? The golf coaching industry and the culture it has created has led us all down that path for decades, largely without foundation or success. Our belief […]
As the daylight hours shorten, just like our backswings as we get older, many golfers will be turning their attention to a winter game improvement programme. With the aim of sorting out your swing to finally achieve more consistency at the forefront of your mind, traditionally this is when most golfers start to head for […]

While the summer of 2019 may not quite have matched up to last year’s heatwave, there have still been enough sunny days to inspire optimism.
