Some site issues

Just a little heads up – the site is going through some changes and updates so there has been some downtime. Hopefully we’re through the worst of it now but there still could be an outage or two before the golf blog is firing on all cylinders. Thanks for...

The magic of learning

It’s awesome to see people learn, then master new skills. Take Clare (the way better half). She is going through a massive learning curve with being a new mum – been some self-doubt and apprehension, which I know is completely normal. Clare struggled with...

The secret of driving

When we jump in the car we don’t start working out where we’re going to go. We’ve already done the planning – we pretty much jump in and drive to the desired destination. Our golf game is not always so well planned. We get over the ball, and...

The Truth About Automatic Golf

Steady’s Dilemma is a problem for many golfers and it’s most likely holding you back. So what is it? Steady’s Dilemma hit me in the face when I gave a personal golf lesson to John (Steady) Stead. Steady is a regular contributor to the blog and has...

Sporting legend on the mark

Greg Chappell said during a radio interview (I paraphrase): In recent times in Australian cricket we’ve over-coached and interfered… The Aussie team haven’t been performing that well, losing matches they should be winning and generally under...
