//PHILOSOPHY
I prefer to avoid the one dimensional coaching method of just fault fixing. I believe knowing the player is much more important than fixing a fault. We are humans after all, not machines… so I try to get to know as much about a player as possible including their learning style (visual, auditory or kinaesthetic), their fitness and flexibility levels and how their mind works.
Every player has scope to improve by either working physically on swing mechanics, increasing their understanding of how to maximise their score, learning how to practice productively or simply increasing their confidence standing on the first tee.
There are multiple ways to tackle a golf course from Jim Furyk’s precision and accuracy method to the more artistic and natural approach used by Seve Ballesteros. The most important factors in my opinion are having a consistent pre shot routine, knowing your club distances, knowing the course, understanding your limitations, controlling your emotions and being realistic about your expectations.
Golf is a great analogy of life where we must make choices and cope with the frustration and elation that are the consequences of these choices. I try to give my clients the tools to cope with this challenge and enable them to enjoy this great game.
