    Ep 224 - Wednesday Wisdom - Are You Practising… Or Just Hitting Balls?

    Are You Practising… Or Just Hitting Balls?There’s a big difference between hitting balls and actually practising.In this Wednesday Wisdom, I talk about a post I saw showing someone with a shag bag, hitting chip after chip to the same hole — and why hitting 100 balls from the same spot might not be as productive as it feels.Repetition certainly has its place, particularly when you’re working on a technical change. But if you want your practice to transfer to the golf course, you need variability, different challenges and some form of pressure or consequence.Make your practice look more like the game you’re actually preparing to play.

    Ep 222 - Wednesday Wisdom - Your Swing Didn't Leave You, You Went Searching.

    Ever hit a couple of bad shots and suddenly start trying to fix your golf swing mid-round? A new swing thought. A grip change. Slow it down. Stay down. Turn more. Before you know it, you’re five holes deep into a swing you’ve never made before. In this Wednesday Wisdom, I talk about why the golf course isn’t the place to rebuild your swing, how quickly searching for fixes can derail a round, and what you should focus on instead when things aren’t going your way. Sometimes your swing hasn’t disappeared at all — you just need to stop searching and start playing.

    Ep 220 - Wednesday Wisdom - Why You Need to Get On the Golf Course With Your Coach

    In this week's Wednesday Wisdom, I share a recent coaching experience that reinforced one of the biggest lessons in golf improvement: a great range swing doesn't automatically lead to great golf on the course. I had a student who consistently swung the club well during lessons, but the moment we stepped onto the golf course, everything changed. Different decisions, different emotions, different swing patterns.That's because golf isn't just about technique—it's about transferring skills from a controlled practice environment into a real-world performance environment where pressure, consequences, and decision-making all come into play.In this episode, I explain:Why range performance can be misleading.What changes when you take your game onto the course.How to bridge the gap between practice and performance.Why on-course coaching can fast-track your improvement.If you've ever wondered why you "can't take your range game to the course," this episode is for you.This is a great episode for golfers of every level because the real goal isn't building a perfect swing—it's building a swing that holds up when the score counts.

    Ep 218 - Wednesday Wisdom - What the Gym Taught Me About Golf Coaching

    Sign up for the free course/library of 22 drills to help you get better at golf here One of the biggest lessons I took away this week didn't happen on a golf course... it happened during a personal training session. My trainer had me learning a new movement pattern, and the instruction was simple: slow everything down. Every repetition had to be deliberate, controlled, and intentional. It felt awkward at first, but that's exactly the point. When you're trying to build a new movement, speed often hides mistakes instead of fixing them. It's no different in golf. So many golfers want to hit balls at full speed while making a swing change, but if your brain hasn't had time to learn the new pattern, you'll simply fall back into old habits. Slowing down allows your body to understand what the movement should actually feel like before you gradually build speed back in.Whether you're in the gym, on the driving range, or learning any new skill, remember this:Slow is smooth. Smooth becomes fast.In this week's Wednesday Wisdom, I share why slowing down could be the fastest way to improve your golf.
