Shocking and awe inspiring at the same time.

June 15, 2008

So there Tiger sits – in the lead after 54 holes in a major. A position he’s been in 13 times before and on each of those 13 occasions he went on to win. So it seems like it is business as usual. It’s just Tiger doing his thing. But it’s [...]

Are you one of “those guys?”

June 2, 2008

“The mind is everything. What you think you become”
Buddha

“If you have no critics you’ll likely have no success”
Malcolm X
I’ve written about Sergio many times before. Like Phil Mickelson, the level of natural talent is huge and it has been very painful to see his recent slump and even more painful to see him blaming his “luck” and acting a little like a spoilt [...]

April 19, 2008

Sign up for my big golf secret here
Simple.
Belief
Yet again I’m droning on about belief. But that’s because it’s so ludicrously important. It was so important in my challenge and as a professional in the Tiger era it’s more important than ever. Zach Johnson felt he had divine intervention on his side last [...]

What are the two big secrets to pick up from Trevor Immelman? (part one)

April 15, 2008

The Masters is always a fantastic learning experience. There are so many lessons to take away from it. Last year we learned (again) just how important the short game is. We also saw how even a relatively short hitter like Zach Johnson can tame a monster course like Augusta by never [...]
