MIND ~ BODY ~ MOTION
Extensive discussions regarding the improvement of golf tuition with playing professionals, coaches and other experts in the field have sparked my interest in opening up a unique approach to help expand learning and understanding, over time I will be looking to develop programmes for specific groups of golfer, the initial phase of this mentoring and coaching will be aimed at golfers of single figures or better. This document hopes to give you a glimpse into my area of expertise, experiences, golfing background and will provide an insight into how I plant on enlightening and accelerating your golfing journey. Players often, at this stage of their golfing career, will start searching for a secret formula in order to try and improve. 'Maybe a new driver will do the trick?' 'Maybe if I have a 45 minute lesson that will cure me?' 'Maybe I should become more flexible.' 'I know .. i'll watch a YouTube video!'... Does this sound like a familiar voice?
Golf is an extremely difficult sport to unravel, and more often than not the attempt in doing so simply reverts back into the comfort zone of old habits which eventually lure you on to the same path you were originally on, with little or zero expansion gained.
I have been a fully qualified PGA professional since 2006. Having played on various tours around the world has allowed me to observe, socialise and room with very successful players earning ££££'s. This has allowed an insight into how these players play the game of golf, percieve themselves, prepare, act – on and off the course – problem solve, plan their days, how they go about creating game plans, diet, and deal with the familiar anxieties that we all know golf can create. These guys are not super human, in fact often they are very unimpressive to watch, but when the bell rings they just think way better overall, they manage their swing and mindset which enables them to get the best out of what they have to offer that day. This programme is not about becoming a tour pro, it's about learning how to become the best golfer you can be when things are feeling good, but more importantly getting the best out of your game when things feel terrible!
My open mindedness has served me well in the respect that I have always strived to absorb as much knowledge as possible from well researched and informed individuals. Information is such an interesting concept in this day and age, especially when we have access to so much of it, but without the guidance needed to internalise this information it can never become embedded knowledge that will serve you a lifetime.
In order to create the pathway for optimal performance early on in my career, I set out on a mission to surround myself with a team of experts. This individuals had studied, in unequaled depth, all of the areas I could think of at the time which I thought would accelerate my career.
My thirst for learning regularly lead me into university lecture halls and full day course up and down the country. I was willing to give anything a go, from specialist eye sight tests in Sheffield to holotrophic breathing in Essex. I was sometimes – often, actually – left wondering what the hell I was doing and the day would conclude with me stood with a hole in my pocket and a frown on my face. Occasionally however, you find something that resonates, aids performance and sticks like glue. It all becomes worth it!
The reason for this 4 week duration is to ensure that we have sufficient time to develop the foundations on a level that is totally different to what you are systematically used to when trying to improve your golf. This is not just a bunch of golf lessons, it is a journey of self exploration and intregral discovery and skill which will help lay the foundations for developing areas such as philosophy and beliefs. I will address how you deal with stress, what stress feels like to you, the effects that stress has on your dynamic fluidity, how you practice, what you practice and why. I will help you build up psychological resilience, understand your own signature swing mechanics, develop processes that target areas you haven't considered before... and much more. This is a true coach player experience for the ambled golfer looking to explore on a totally different level.
If you are in this elite golfing paternity as a single figure+ golfer and you believe that the odd lesson will help you develop your game then his programme is not for you. I want to work with a certain ability and open mindedness so we can both excel together, I have thirteen years of experience under my belt, have spent hundreds of hours with my team of elite coaches, dedicated hours of my time to reading and listening to audiobooks and podcasts and have invested thousands of pounds on developing myself on and off the course. All of this will go into what I can offer you as a mentor and we wouldn't be able to scratch the surface in a 40minute lesson or even a full day together. A 40 minute lesson can help the lesser skilled golfers. However, if you want to go from 9-5, 5-2, 2-scratch handicap golfer then we need to look at alternative logical and enjoyable routes together.
I'm looking for a maximum number of 8-10 students each month who are willing to immerse themselves in a non linear, individualised 4 week programme. This will include meeting up both in and away from a golfing environment to truly understand what path we are going to explore. A generalised prescriptive approach to teaching will not be the agenda. I am pleased to announce that the Bridlington Links Golf and Leisure Club will be allowing each Collective member to use ALL facilities during the 30 day programme outside of tuition as a member benefit, also the Bridlington Golf Club have kindly allowed me to use their indoor coaching facility using the GC QUAD for data analysis should that be required. (T&C's apply) Communication via video/phone calls, emails, online homework and a group chat for all the monthly members plus more will all be a part of this unique opportunity. This is a programme completely tailored to you, with the desire for your enjoyment, improvement and development at its epicentre.
If you are ready, please click here to email me. I look forward talking to you
During our meeting we will talk about your current level and what you want to achieve working together.
