The Grand Plan started as a book — a practical, no-nonsense guide to course management and golf improvement written for the everyday club golfer. Not a swing manual, not a fitness programme, but a strategic guide to playing smarter golf with the game you already have.
What the Book Covered
The Grand Plan book focused on the aspects of golf that most instruction ignores:
- Course management — How to plan your way around a golf course. When to attack, when to play safe, and how to think about risk and reward on every shot.
- Green reading — Practical techniques for reading greens that don't require expensive gadgets. Slope recognition, speed assessment, and aim point basics.
- Stats-based improvement — How to track your rounds and use the data to identify the areas where you're losing the most shots.
- Practice planning — How to structure your practice time so every session has purpose and every drill connects to on-course improvement.
- The mental game — Simple, practical mental strategies for staying focused, managing pressure, and bouncing back from bad holes.
From Book to Digital
The book laid the foundation for everything that followed: the green maps, the practice plans, and ultimately the Golf Stats App. The core principles haven't changed — they've just found a more powerful medium.
