After four terrific years with Golf Queensland it was with great sadness that I have resigned from my position of Program Officer recently. While I am leaving a role which has helped me to develop both personally and professionally I am excited by the many new challenges and opportunities that lie ahead within the golf industry.  With each change comes opportunity and I am excited to announce I will be focussing more of my energy and time coaching at Victoria Park.

Hydration

Hydration for golfers is an important issue that is often under-estimated.  Dehydration of 1 to 2 percent can produce a decrease in athletic performance by 5%.  This can make the difference between winning and losing.  This is a simple checklist to help you determine if you are hydrating enough.

1. Do support the Coach, especially in public and in front of your child.

Regardless of the emotions, always remember that the Coach has every one of their young athlete’s best interests at heart.

If there is a disagreement, settle it privately.

It’ll benefit all parties.

 2. Don’t let ‘Did you win?’ be the first question you ask your child.

Rather ask ‘How’d you compete?’ Or even better ‘Did you enjoy it?’

Not every kid is going to become a champion, but every kid has the potential to continue loving and growing the sport through coaching, administrating or sponsoring it.

 3. Do love your child for who they are.

First and foremost you are a parent. And your priority is to nurture and love your children.

 4. Don’t let your child’s results affect your mood. Continue Reading→

One of the questions I often get asked from club level golfers is how can they improve their games and what components of their golf should they be practicing.
