Collin Morikawa takes the gold

A new force in Professional Golf has emerged after a spectacular win in last week’s PGA Championship, 23-year-old Collin Morikawa! A golf swing that’s easy to watch, a sublime putting touch and a wonderful calm presence makes it look like he has the full package. It was interesting to note that he ranked #1 in putting last week and #60 in driving distance. Takes a little of the recent stories of big hitters out of the golfing headlines.

It was a chance tip that I gave Mark Carstens that ignited his enthusiasm to work on his technique and the results so far have been very rewarding. Check out the video to see what change we made…

Why are educated hands the major key to golfing success?

Here are some details of a free webinar that my coach Peter Croker is holding with US coach, Martin Chuck. The time frame isn’t great (3 am) but Peter has agreed that anyone from South Africa that registers will be sent the recording of the sessions. You never know, it might be the catalyst you need to get your game on track.

The webinar starts next week on 19 August at 11:00 AM (3 AM SA time) in Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney.

Golf’s FUNdamentals
Your role as a parent
 
It’s easy to fall into the trap of measuring your child’s relationship with golf by their competitive performance. But their golfing development depends on so much more than that. And here’s where you, as the parent, have an important role to play.
 
Encourage your child to take part in a range of sports. This will develop their movement fundamentals; agility, balance, coordination and speed.
 
Instead of setting expectations of progress and success, focus on what your child wants. Encouragement goes a lot further than analysis.
 
Play golf with them. Not only will you get to work on your game, you also get to bond and strengthen your relationship with your child.
 
Most parents think of their child’s golfing journey as a funnel moving from “entry” to “elite”. But actually, it’s not a funnel, it’s a pie with FUN at its core.
 
 
Elite performance is part of the journey for a FEW children. What’s more important is that fun and healthy development are part of the journey for ALL children, regardless of skill. Really effective coaching develops golfing skills along with a love for the game.
 
Let them eat pie
Come and speak to us about getting your child into golf and developing their full potential, not just as golfers, but as people too.
