Another year has come to close and it is a time for reflection. This will inevitably be a mixture of good memories and those which we have had to find inner strength and resolve to deal with both on and off the course.

As a golf coach I am always looking at areas to improve which does not just include the technical element.  Let's face it golf is not supposed to be easy and we know it is not! Golf holds a special kind of attraction the desire, determination, elation and constant tussle between our inner mind and external factors. How many times have we played 17 holes of golf in which we have already decided to "give up" only to finish with a birdie! You already know the next line... Read More

This week the golfing world has been waiting anxiously for the return of Tiger Woods after a long spell out due to injury. The venue of Isleworth in Windermere Florida is a unique and beautiful destination.

During my playing career on the Ladies European Tour I was fortunate to spend the winter months working on my game in the area and was very privileged to play within the exclusively gated community of Isleworth. As you will have noticed from the coverage it is in pristine condition and a pretty tricky course. Read More

Well, today was proof that a few rain drops can't dampen the spirit and enthusiasm of my annual Golfing Girl Festive Golf Day! It was a matter of last-minute re scheduling and planning with a few quizzes, jokes and all round good banter did not detract from the fantastic day.

As golfers who take lessons from a qualified PGA Professional we would all like to achieve the same outcome "Improvement" However this word can be looked at in far greater depth. I am not suggesting your practice time has just suddenly increased by 5 hours! but your understanding and the type of practice your undertake becomes more deliberate and ultimately more effective

When we decide to embark upon a series of lessons I ensure we have a clear goal which is specific to my client and section of the game, when I ask the question "What would you like to improve upon? many of my clients reply "To become more consistent" I explain that there are a number of specific elements that are required to achieve this goal. This is where my new performance programme launched 2015 will become more apparent. Read More

It was a little bit of a shock today when the deicer and bobble hat had to be located, however this should come as no surprise as we are well into the winter period now. Every October we should start to think a little more about what type of winter golf practice we are going to embark upon in readiness for our Spring golf season. Every golfer will have a different set of goals and expectations but if I can guarantee improvement I think that would make any golfer smile!

This is the time when I discuss with my clients to produce a winter plan which will involve fewer playing rounds with increased technical work upon specific aspects of the game. I am not advocating we stand outside for 2 hours hitting golf balls in sub-zero temperatures! There are a number of simple drills that can be carried out in the comfort of your home which is always an attractive proposition. I will be adding these into my forthcoming newsletter with other exciting news and events. Read More
