“My coaching philosphy was born out of a comment that Hank Haney made to me in 2000 in McKinney, Texas. From that day on, I looked at the golf swing, the game and teaching the game of golf completely differently”

 

My Coaching Philosophy

  1. Listen and Hear

2. Understand and Simplify

3. Communicate and Encourage

4. Motivate and Reassure

5. Enjoy the adventure together

 

My coaching philosphy is always tailored to the needs of the student and then offset by the potential i see in them, which they may not see in themsleves. The experience always begins with CONCEPT correction becuase every student i have ever coached has requied a concept correction in order to improve and this concept correction aligned to the bigger picture, allows learning to accelerate.

I then get the student to underdstand BASE level movements (layered learning) and then get them to build awarenss of these movements. This streamlines the thought process, simplifying things and allows them to react and respond naturally, not mechanically.

I now introduce the automation phase (Own your swing) which is the process we work through that allows the new concept and movement to transition through to the automatic phase, where you can DO and maintain it, even when you stop thinking about it. This is FLOW.

This process of CONCEPT correction, BASE level movement, MID and ADVANCED level addons (if required), and the TRANSITION into FLOW are instrumental in how i teach all areas of the game. This is the beauty - once you go through the process in one part of the game, we can place it into another part of the game (including mindset) and the changes become easier each time as you build confidence in it and your ability to DO it.
