Be world class at something
What is the best aspect of your game? Are you a long hitter, a short game wizard, an excellent
wedge player or a great putter? Whatever it is that makes you stand out from others my suggestion
is that you do everything possible to become as good as you can at it. Look at the statistics of the
best in the world and compare yourself to them:
• Compare your driving to Rory McIlroy or Dustin Johnson
• Compare your iron play to Henrik Stenson or Sergio Garcia
• Compare your short game to Phil Mickelson
• Compare your putting to Jordan Spieth
Get up to date with stats
Mark Broadie has revolutionised the world of statistics, I would very much encourage you to read his
book Every Shot Counts and become familiar with his Strokes Gained concept. You should be
keeping relevant stats for your game to accurately identify your strengths and weaknesses.
Reflect regularly
It is though that we can only really fully concentrate for around 20mins at a time, so I suggest that
you take a short break every 20mins during a practice session. This gives your brain a break and
allows you to reflect on how the session is going and whether you need to change anything.
Reflection can be done in a formal way by completing a form with pre-determined questions or very
informally by just having a think about things. Either way can be effective, the key thing being that it
happens regularly and is acted upon. The best players in the world are never satisfied and are
constantly working out ways to improve.
Recommended Pro Programme
Identifying and establishing a plan followed by regular contact and communication, are the most
important factors here. For someone this serious about their game it is really important to have an
open and honest relationship between player and coach; both sides should respect and look to learn
from each other, always with the goal of reducing scores.
I have an established Performance Coaching/Mentoring Programme and very much enjoy the
challenge of assisting professional players to understand their game and reduce their scores.
