My Golf Coaching Approach
My approach to golf coaching is to put you and your golf game first. I appreciate that each golfer is an individual. Every golfer has unique gifts, needs and desires for their golf game. You come to me with your specific physicality, perceptions of golf and your game, as well as your past experience and skill sets. I will take a comprehensive look at you and your game, and develop a plan and strategy to meet your goals. While there isn’t a perfect swing and golf game that fits everyone, there is a swing and golf game that fits you perfectly!
Here is How the Collaboration Works:
Assess & Plan
Where are you now as a golfer and where do you want to be? I will assess your game, and create a custom plan based on your desires, time and commitment. The assessment includes review of your knowledge base, skill set, movement patterns, learning style, personality style, physical ability, equipment, and mental golfing strengths. We will establish realistic goals and create a program for you relative to your commitment, desire, and physical and mechanical potential.
Learn & Train
We will develop a blueprint for an improved approach to learning, training and measuring the progress of your golf skills and behaviors. You will learn about the concepts of shifts and the value of a productive state of mind relating to balance, tempo, tension and energy flow, the impact variables for different shots and the resulting ball flights, the body/ swing connection and the mechanics of a repetitive motion with predictable results. You will develop skills and habits for motor pattern development, practice techniques and strategies for mechanics, mental and emotional aspects of the game, and transitioning this knowledge to your play. Finally, together we will create a system to log and quantify your progress and milestones.
The Art of Playing
I believe that everyone has the potential to play great golf. It takes knowledge and discipline to manage yourself, and your game on the course. Together we will discover the things that work best for you and your game. As a performance coach I value practice and play upon the field. The skills and habits for on course play include: the VISION54 eight essential playing skills, knowing about your productive and non-productive self in play and your tools to stay on track, dealing with people and things outside your control, the art of focus and concentration, and game strategy.
