Is Your Right Trail Leg Extending Too Early or Overextending?🏌️‍♂️

How We Optimise the Takeaway for Solid Ball Striking:

⮕ Prevent the club from moving inside too early

⮕ Improve sequencing, creating a steeper backswing hand plane

⮕ Reduce compensations that lead to inconsistent low point

⮕ Create more shaft lean and compression at impact

⮕ Reduce face rotation through impact, creating straighter ball flight

Golf is a beautiful sport that transcends generations. Bring your kids along for the journey. It’s more than just a game; it’s about connecting and making memories together.

Even at a young age, children may not remember specific moments, but they can recall the strong emotions of excitement and joy that come from quality time spent together — so get out there and stay present!

You’re standing over the ball and keep telling yourself ‘don’t hit it in the bunker’, and sure enough… you hit it in the bunker.

This phenomenon is the “ironic process theory” or “the law of reversed effect.”
When you tell yourself not to do something, your brain focuses on the very thing you’re trying to avoid.

In repeatedly reminding yourself “don’t hit it in the bunker,” your focus inadvertently shifts towards the bunker, resulting in a higher likelihood of hitting the ball there.

Instead, directing your attention to where you WANT the ball to go will improve your performance.

Go get out for a round this weekend🫡

Do you self-evaluate your golf performance when you step off the course?
This is one of the most overlooked aspects of the game, yet it’s crucial for improvement.

Reflecting on your performance allows you to identify strengths and weaknesses, enabling you to focus your practice efforts effectively- it’s the key to unlocking your full potential on the course.

HERE ARE THE STEPS to self-evaluate your golf performance:

Score Analysis: Review your scorecard to see how you performed overall. Note any patterns or trends in your scoring, such as consistently struggling on specific holes or consistently hitting certain clubs well.

Shot Analysis: Reflect on each shot you took during the round. Consider factors such as accuracy, distance, trajectory, and shot shape. Identify areas where you excelled and areas where you struggled.

Course Management: Evaluate your decision-making on the course. Did you choose the right clubs for each shot? Did you effectively navigate hazards and difficult lies? Assess whether your course management skills helped or hindered your performance.

Short Game: Assess your performance on and around the greens. Pay attention to your putting accuracy, chipping proficiency, and bunker play. Determine if you were able to get up and down efficiently from around the green.

Physical and Mental Game: Consider your physical and mental state during the round. Did fatigue or frustration affect your performance? Were you able to maintain focus and concentration throughout the round?

Goal Alignment: Compare your performance to your goals and expectations for the round. Did you achieve what you set out to accomplish? If not, identify areas for improvement and set new goals for future rounds.

Feedback: Seek feedback from playing partners or a coach if available. They may have insights or observations that can help you identify strengths and weaknesses in your game.

Consistency: Look for patterns in your performance over time. Are there areas of your game that consistently need improvement? Focus on developing consistency in those areas through practice and targeted drills.

By implementing this self-evaluation strategy, your game will excel 💯

Mastering your pre-shot routine isn’t just about consistency; it’s about cultivating focus, confidence, and control on the golf course.

By sticking to your routine without deviation, you build a foundation of mental strength and consistency that translates into better performance under pressure.

Each step of your routine serves a purpose, from visualising the shot to committing to your strategy, ultimately leading to more precise and confident swings.

In the face of challenges or distractions, your routine becomes your anchor, keeping you grounded and focused on the task at hand.

So, practice your routine, trust in its power, and watch as your game reaches new levels.

Teach them young.

Youngsters, (in this case my son), are always watching, observing, forming new connections in their brain.
Over one million neural connections formed every second in some developmental stages.

Every experience, interaction, and observation contributes to shaping the intricate network of connections, laying the foundation for future learning and behavior.

What they see, they become. Engagement in sports not only cultivates physical prowess but also fosters resilience through the honing of essential skills.

Providing connected, fun, enriching and stimulating environments is essential for fostering development and maximising their potential.

Visualisation in golf isn’t just imagining, it’s a powerful tool and skill for success.

By mentally rehearsing each shot with precision and realism, you’re priming your mind and body for peak performance on course.

If you want to learn how to get results using visualisation get in touch.

Candid chat. How to practice golf and improve long term.

Coaches are facilitators - they provide the knowledge and set the environment for the athlete to know how to practice their tasks, to learn and succeed.
Coaches can’t be present 24/7 so it’s very important that there is trust in the relationship and the player knows the process to success back to front in order to learn when coach is away. This includes specific practice guidelines, how to take the work from the practice deck to the course; tactical, physical and mental preparation. At the end of the day the player needs to take ownership and do the work. Reliance on others is a losing mindset. So players, get a plan together with a good coach and work hard! But, at the end of the day it is you that needs to take the responsibility and go and win.

Free the mind, accept the outcome.
Next time you're out on the course, before you pull that trigger, consciously accept any outcome. Releasing any burdens you put on yourself either in life of on the course will give you that sense of freedom so you can perform at your best.

#performance #mindset @djokernole

Working on preshot routines just after a technical change. For the coaches out there....

As a coach it’s important to give the client the change needed for long term improvement while simultaneously allowing the student to continue playing golf with as much freedom as possible.

A few things to consider - set the expectations, how long these changes might take to become subconscious, give the student responsibility for their practice. Explain it may be rough and up and down for a while early on. The more rehearsals completed the quicker the change will
become innate.

Having said this, by giving a process to your students to clear the mind enough for optimal commit on course is the most important part of the journey. I even mention that if it isn't going great on course revert to the old pattern.

It's time + rehearsals that allows the golfer to swing freely again to once again focus on what's important on course - target, rhythm/timing, course strategy and mental routines. The combination of the efficient technique and commitment to shots will drive the ultimate success.

One of my favorite players to watch and to listen to @rorymcilroy

Great podcast by @nolayingup , highly recommended you check this episode out.

Here is a quick snipped: what do we learn from a 4 time major champ and former world number 1?

- "Practice on the range and PLAY on the course" What does that mean? It means you are thinking and slowing yourself down to gain a new movement idea on the range, however on the course it's full send with limited thoughts and a focus on rhythm and timing for a shot designed to a target

- "Dance with the lady you brought". Meaning you may be off for that round but use what you have, that way you will score your best

- "Turn a 74 into a 70 - grind the round out, don't give up, "that's golf"!

- All the hard work has been done prior on the practice range, so trust that work (same applies if you haven't practiced, find a way to trust the swing you have, you won't increase your skill that day by experimenting, you'll only make things worse)
