In Physical, by Virginia on

This one goes out to all the young players with goals of being a professional player. Oh and everyone who values their precious time.

The Truth Hurts

In Tactical, by Virginia on

A measure of…the truth

Why do some athletes avoid recording statistics, setting plans and sticking to them and putting their hearts on soles on the line?  Part of the reason lies in the words of Colonel Jessep “they can’t handle the truth”.

It is rare with all but the best athletes to hear something like “I have followed a structured preparation plan to the letter and am ready to compete, confident I will do well”.

Much more common is “I haven’t been able to prepare as I would like, so hopefully I’ll go ok”.  This is both preparing for the worst and having a ready-made excuse in advance.

It takes courage to fully commit to a plan and declare you have done the work and are ready to put your performance on the line.

Have you got that courage?

Enjoy the Doing

In Tactical, by Virginia on

During your warm up start with, chipping, pitching, some bunker play, move into your mid irons, 7 iron, 5 iron, and then into your 5 wood, hybrids, driver.  After you have finished with your driver move back to your wedges to create a lightness and softness in your arms then move to the putting green.  Start with short and long putting to a tee rather than a hole.  Do some speed drills and then finish off on the green knocking in 5-7 putts from 2 foot to feel confident with how you are rolling the ball.

It is not about the swing now; you have warmed up, trust yourself and enjoy the doing.

Good golf nutrition has many of the same characteristics as good general nutrition. Foods that are low in fat and contain balanced portions of lean protein and slow release carbohydrates make the best choices, and the golfer’s diet should include lots of these.

Move On

In Mental, by Virginia on

Accepting the poor shot, dealing with the emotions, and committing to the next shot are challenges that even the best players find difficult.  If you asked any golfer if they have ever had the perfect round, there would not be many who could confidently say yes.  Success comes to those golfers who can deal with poor outcomes more efficiently and turn the negative emotions and results into positive ones.   Continue Reading→
