Backwards and Forwards

Jan 29, 2013 | Golf Instruction

Just prior to Christmas I had a coaching session with Timbo. What made it interesting was he was in his College dorm room in the USA and I was sitting in my office in Melbourne. Isn’t technology amazing! Tim needed a pep talk. He was worried about his game and...

Some random golf practice

Jan 25, 2013 | Articles

I had the bug to hit some balls today – haven’t felt it in years. It was pissing rain and I was in the work gear but I didn’t care – loved it! The focus was on hitting the ball and enjoying the experience – absolutely no thought on trying...

Why your teacher was probably wrong

Jan 24, 2013 | Golf Instruction

I used to hate writing when at school. Assignments and essays used to send me into a spin – I’d panic at the thought of a 500 word deadline. Most of the time they wouldn’t get done or the attempt was so pathetic it was embarrassing. Today is...

My first golfing hero

Jan 23, 2013 | Articles

My Grandfather, Ian Strachan (we call him Gon Gon), was my first golfing hero. He introduced me to the game and bought me my first set of golf clubs. His passion for golf was born in his homeland of Scotland and I’m glad he passed it onto me. He was there,...

Don’t waste a minute of golf

I received the below from Michael. I’m not sure who the original author is but it certainly applies to what I’m trying to do here. Also highlights the importance of “playing golf” – the story also sounds a lot like some golfers I know....

Why can’t golf be like this all the time?

Jan 16, 2013 | Articles

Played my first game on the Sunshine Coast as a resident yesterday. It was a relief to see the temperature drop below 30, as high 30’s up here feel like 50! At one point on Saturday I was contemplating if the move was a good one but the locals assure me the...

Doing something different.

Jan 15, 2013 | Golf Instruction

Received the below from James… Back in the late seventies and early eighties when I was stationed at MCAS Cherry Point, I used to golf with a lot of retired Marines. I gleaned a good bit of wisdom from them, and want to share this piece of advice I got from...

The first golf ball has been struck

Jan 14, 2013 | Articles

It’s official! We (Clare, Koda and myself) have finally made the big move into our new home (Golf Farm) on the Sunshine Coast. The weather has been bloody hot and we’ve had a mountain of things to do. But we’re getting there and excited about the...

A major golfing breakthrough

Jan 10, 2013 | Golf Instruction

I used to panic, get nervous and generally stuff things up. No matter how hard I tried, how much I practised or how much I wanted to succeed, I could never get my body to do what I wanted. It’s bloody frustrating and I’m sure your golf game has delivered...
