Recently decided to experiment with my clubs. I had tweaked my swing to work on improving my rotation, I thought long and hard regarding a wrist injury I have had and the limitations it has put on my ability to move the club in a shallowing motion, my wrists just can move the club that way at speed, so I decided to focus on what I could do, improve turn, rotate the left shoulder earlier, accept the small steeping of the shaft pitch in the downswing compared to the backswing and go with it! At this same time I decided to try going back in time with my lofts and lies.
I’ve been using the P7MB irons 4-PW with their standard lofts, I’ve been around 3000rpm spin on a 5 iron (26*) and stock carry around 175m.

After considering how I could get more flight, and spin, I decided to replicate as near as possible irons specs, 49* PW and so on.

My current 5iron is now 29* loft and using a standard “older” model TP5 ball, the above image shows the results of the changes.

I did play today and at the Par 5 9th hole I had 210m up hill for my second shot and hit a 4iron that landed front edge 197m and rolled into the greens edge bunker pin high.

I should note that the club carry numbers are significantly up when comparing the “old” lofts and the modern day.

So maybe going back in time actually paid off?? 😬

Many players I am fortunate enough to work with, often talk about the thoughts they have during a round of golf, its nothing short of chaotic. If you were to ask the best players when they are playing a social game, or a fun match (What you should be doing on weekends) they will talk about how they don't really think, the mind is quiet- the mind is tranquil.

Determination and Patience! For many both lack during a round of golf, chasing Birdies and Pars instead of playing patiently and letting them come to you, and eventually giving up when its not going quite right. Next time you play, be determined to stay patient with yourself and your game, see how much better you score!

Some food for thought today, are you playing aggressively enough? Now this doesn't mean playing with reckless abandon, but are you playing aggressively to smart targets? Are you hitting the appropriate tee shot to a place you can play aggressively from? Do you try to play conservatively and find out it actually hinders your score?

Most of us have heard this saying in some shape or form, but it still rings true! The harder you work the luckier it appears you get, the truth is, your bad just gets better, you hit fewer poor shots in comparison to your previous self. Work hard, work smart and train with purpose and you too could find yourself getting "Luckier"

When we understand that what we can control are our thoughts, our actions and our emotions, we realise that we can play better golf. Once the ball leaves the clubface, it is out of your control, you cant control the bounce, the roll, or a myriad of other things about the game of golf. But you can control you!

How's your Pre Shot Routine? Are you training it so that on course it simply becomes autonomous? Most players don't, the best players can have their routine timed and not miss a beat with it. Stop thinking and start doing!

Love this quote, Ego and nerves, two great killers of a good scorecard. Hard to control both, but there's a reason why we sit a watch the best on tv play instead of doing that, and it may have something to do with Ego and Nerves 😉

Improvement is never ending, we never have it perfected, we never really own our swing. Its a journey, its a quest, its a road without end. Never stop learning and understanding, the more you can understand, the less frustrated you will be.

A great lesson for us all when on the course, be patient, trust your processes and play smart. You want to shoot a lower score? Make more birdies? Allow them to happen through patience and perseverance. Trying to force them to happen often leads to bigger mistakes and worse playing.

Improving your scoring on course is as easy as improving your putting. The tour pro average form 3ft is 99% putts made in 1. The recreational golfer dependant on handicap is between 85%-93% putts made in 1. Imagine how many shots you could save over the course of a season or year if you made 99% of your putts in 1 attempt from 3ft.

For as long as I have coached people, I have used this as a baseline for improvement in lessons. Do not be afraid to try the exact opposite of what you think in the golf swing.

Best example- a push swing exposing the hosel rarely if ever causes a shank, a shank more often than not is a excessively closing clubface at impact. Try to push the club path further right with an open face and you'll stop shanking the ball.

Using the blueprint we are able to identify easily what changes need to be made and are aware of what those changes will do to the rest of the swing movements. Today we re focused upon setting up correctly, extending the trail leg and briefly touched upon weight distribution at setup and impact.

🔓if you’d like to unlock your potential, I have opened up a few spaces for some online students to get their game trending 📈in the right direction. Contact me on if you want to improve in 2023

⚠️Disclaimer - I’m not the first and won’t be the last to offer up similar if not near identical advice for this swing issue. There’s very little “New” instruction in golf, just a lot of pros saying the same things in differing ways.

Sim Majors The Open Championship

AMENDED FINALS POINTS- Simulator Majors OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP
* Computer error- tried to use the iPad, turns out shouldn’t have, it can’t filter correctly.

The new handicap system proved to be a big hit, many of the players fairing better with the extra shot or 17 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣. As I mentioned, these handicaps will be looked at again after this event and New Sim handicaps will be adjusted as a normal GA would be, except as the handicapper I can wield the axe a little harder. Royal Liverpool turned out to be of mild difficulty in the end, provided you avoided the pot bunkers. Thank you all again for supporting the event and keep an eye out for a teams event upcoming in October.
