I recently had a wonderful conversation with Martin Hall when I interviewed him for my brain booster podcast. For those who don’t know Martin, he is a superb instructor who has received numerous awards for his teaching. What struck me above anything else was how much passion he still has to improve as a coach. […]
Why is it that we introduce putting to beginning golfers we emphasize the importance of pace vs direction, but then as we continue to play better, we then get hung up on the line? This is part two on the book “The Lost Art of Putting – Introducing the Six Putting Performance Principles”. This episode’s […]
“If only I could play more consistent golf!” If I have heard that statement once in the past 30 years of coaching, I must have heard it a thousand times. The idea of consistency is seen as the ultimate golfing nirvana. The very quality we are led to believe we should all aspire to. Yet, […]
I recently got back from a two-week trip to China to do Mind Factor training for more than 120 coaches. It is a fascinating country to see. Mission Hills in Shenzhen, near to where we based the first training, has 12 courses and the number of permanent caddies is in the thousands. The speed at […]
It was great to see Graeme McDowell back in the winner’s circle on the PGA Tour with his one shot victory in the Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship.

He swept to an improbable victory with a stunning 8-under-par final round to cruise through the field having been well back in the pack after three […]
I have always felt very lucky to do what I do for a living. To coach a sport I love and get the chance to work with players to see what is possible with their game, both with individuals and in groups. I really enjoy presenting my Mind Factor workshops up and down the country […]
I have often said that I believe I would never have had the role in golf I am fortunate to have if golfers trained better. There can be no other sport where so much effort in practice goes so unrewarded in the game itself. Hour after hour hitting ball after ball on the range, often […]
Over the past few years I have become increasingly fascinated by the concept of the ‘breakthrough’. I have seen time and time again with the players I work with that if we can create a significant breakthrough in a certain part of their game then what follows can only be described as the ‘force of […]
It has been wonderful in the last couple of years on my podcast, The Brain Booster, to get the opportunity to have conversations with some of the world’s leading experts in coaching, psychology, physical training and skill acquisition. Many of my guests have been incredibly generous with their time and the desire to share knowledge on […]
