Big or little wrist cock?

July 30, 2024 No comments yet

Improving your release angle involves understanding the wrist cock, a crucial but often misunderstood part of the golf swing. A good setup, correct ball position, and a slow, consistent swing path will naturally lead to fully cocked wrists at the top of your backswing. Golfers often struggle to balance a full wrist hinge with shot […]

Golf training has evolved significantly, especially with the influence of players like Tiger Woods and other younger athletes who incorporate weight lifting into their routines. While hitting golf balls remains the best method to develop touch and feel, training for power and speed can greatly enhance performance. The Importance of Power and Speed Training Developing […]

Razz

July 23, 2024 No comments yet

I love watching a wedge shot spin back and go in the hole. I tried hard to master how to spin it back. After reviewing my statistics, I realised I wasn’t often long on my shots, which made me understand that chasing the perfect spin wasn’t necessarily helping my game. I discovered that the best-struck […]

Fancy Footwork

July 23, 2024 No comments yet

I love how Scottie Scheffler is regularly commented on for his footwork. We all draw power from the ground in the backswing through our legs. The dynamic between power and timing defines how we transfer energy from the golfer to the golf ball. I don’t think there is perfect footwork, but it’s interesting to note […]

If someone could line me up I would be such a better player

July 11, 2024 No comments yet

One of the hardest things for me to learn was how to aim. I used to say if someone could line me up, I’d be such a good player. Two important points come from this: Trusting Your Line-Up: Trust in your line-up always helps free up your swing. Finding an Effective Line-Up Method: Line-up is […]

Better Than You Think

July 9, 2024 No comments yet

Golf is unique among sports because 90% of its spectators also play the game. This, combined with the fact that even beginners can occasionally hit world-class shots, leads many golfers to believe they are better than their statistics suggest. Additionally, many golfers tend to exaggerate their handicaps, further enhancing the illusion of superior skill. Consequently, […]

Practise with Plastic

July 9, 2024 No comments yet

I’ve spent a lot of time on the course talking about golf and the strange things that happen. I’m amazed by how the brain and body connect to produce an outcome. One day, I was standing with Stefan Ackerie, who was showing me something he was working on. The only word I had was “wow.” […]

Thoughts are Things

July 5, 2024 No comments yet

As a child, I was always trying to get someone to look at my swing. Full circle, my son does the same thing. As golfers, we are always searching for the next thing, so sometimes the best thing we can hear is some reassurance that we are on the right track. Even now, I still […]

Improve by 5

July 4, 2024 No comments yet

The biggest challenge I faced in lowering my handicap was moving from a 4 to scratch. I was consistently breaking 80 and occasionally shooting under par, so I knew I had the skills to get there. To find the answer, I started recording my stats from each round. After five rounds, I had a clear […]

Shortest Drive Wins the Hole

July 4, 2024 No comments yet

I often say this because it’s happened so many times and ties into a lesson I learned the hard way during a pennant match. My dad was my caddy and asked me who I was playing against. I didn’t know until I was called to the tee moments later. My opponent swung the club cross-handed […]
