BBC Talk Back John Richardson and Wendy Austin

{ 0 comments }

Darren Clarke, who famously told me that three years would be the minimum time to shoot a par round, has offered some superb (and a LOT more postive!) advice to a new friend of mine, Richard Asher, from South Africa. I’m going to do a much longer post about Richard soon but I just wanted to draw your attention to what Clarke said to Asher when asked about his challenge:

>

Basically Clarke is very doubtful but he says “the only way you could possibly do it is spending 90% of the first six months chipping and putting”

He maintains that the pros spend 75% of their time chipping and putting. A friend of mine, who followed Clarke for several weeks as part of a BBC program, would bear this out to be true.

There is absolute genius contained within that one line. Sure it would be pretty tough but it would be, without a shadow of a doubt (based on my own experience) the easiest way, to drastically drop scores.

That’s why the Break Par Blueprint program focuses so heavily on short game and helping you stick at it. It also focuses HARD on making your short game practice FUN!

There is a 100% money back no-hassle guarantee so why not kick your golf off this year with a real bang!

There are much greater “nature versus nurture” questions raised in this too which I’d like to again deal with soon.

Regards

John

P.S. Don’t forget the Break Par Blueprint program carries a full and unconditional money back guarantee. Why not take the plunge to see what I learned during my challenge and if you’re not happy, for any reason at all, I’ll gladly give you your money back.

Love him or hate him you have to admire Ian Poulter’s recent rise up the rankings.

For me there are two key reasons for this which I explain in the following video. These two key reasons form a fundamental basis of the Break Par Blueprint program.

Why not join the hundreds of golfers (ranging from scratch players to “can’t break 100″ hackers) who are transforming their game with the Break Par Blueprint – the 12 stage video course that I created following my Break Par Golf challenge.

Learning from Hogan

August 16, 2009

One of the key techniques that I teach in the Break Par Blueprint is to allow yourself to drop back to very short swings when your game is off.  It’s possible to put together a very decent round by simply using a 3/4 swing and our confidence at this level is usually vastly better than [...]

Me, Seve and Rory… (and Jane Asher!)

June 8, 2009

 

The following was an article from the Irish News last Saturday. It would be easy to get smug about my picture on the same page as Rory McIlroy and Seve but I get bumped back to earth pretty quickly when I realise that I’m sharing another page with legendary cake maker (and Paul McCartney [...]

I read the following article on the Golf365.com website a couple of days ago…
Every Mickle maks a muckle
The gist of it is that Colin Montgomerie dragged out an old Scottish expression to explain why he needed to change the doors at Celtic Manor before next year. He was worried that a player might injure themselves [...]

Greg Norman and The tall poppy syndrome

July 28, 2008

Tall Poppy Syndrome is a strange antipodean phenomenon that I encountered during my challenge on a number of occasions. Basically it’s a term used to describe a condition where someone, who does something great or indeed many great things, is criticised and resented because they have become a “tall poppy” and have risen above [...]
