Metal on plastic

It’s easy to get distracted. Our Pesky mind can throw all sorts of stuff our way: – Don’t go in the water – Oh boy, it’s very windy today – My swing doesn’t feel right – Keep out of the trees – This putt is for...

Headlock

Here at GolfGooRoo global headquarters I get to meet all sorts of golfers. Most are looking for a quick tip or fix to get their game back on track. Others, having been around the merry-go-round a few times, are after something much more reliable. I’m definitely...

Noise

A quick check of Google shows there’s over 17 million webpages available for someone searching for “golf instruction”. On Youtube, you’ll be presented with 144,000 options. Is all this information really helpful? No doubt some of it will be...

Shoot lower scores!

Here’s a thought provoking interview with Geoff Ogilvy. The bit I like the best is this: Peter Fowler, an outstanding Australian golfer who now plays the European Senior Tour, phoned the great Peter Thomson for advice in the early 1980s. Fowler was struggling to...

Constraints led approach to golf

What on earth is Constraints Led Approach and how does it relate to golf? If you’re really serious about playing your best golf  (or becoming a better coach) and gaining an advantage over all your golfing friends, then I reckon you’ll get a lot from this...

Some golf pros have a way to go …

I was at the Queensland Open over the weekend to have a look. It was great to walk the fairways and get up and close to watch the pros play. Those boys can certainly hit the ball and many of them can’t be far from cracking it on a bigger tour somewhere. Many of...

I was in Melbourne last week on some golf green business. I also got chatting to a young golf pro whose story annoyed me. Young Pro loves golf and wants to be the best player he can be. Like a lot of trainee golf pro’s he’s finding things a bit tough. The...

Tour player learns to putt more freely

Earlier this week I had the privilege of an all-day coaching session with Matthew Guyatt. Matt plays here in Australia and on the Japanese tour. I hadn’t met Matt before but through a mutual friend I had heard quite a bit about him. I learned that Matt is an...

A really stupid golf lesson

I’ve given up on reading most golf related information. This includes websites, magazines and email newsletters. I just don’t get that much from them and have long since stopped worrying about my golf swing or hitting the ball further. The other day an...

What 10 years of Automatic Golf has taught me…

2015 is my unofficial 10th year of playing what I call Automatic Golf. I definitely stumbled onto it during the early 90’s but I was too dumb (and brainwashed) to realise. The light certainly went on in the early naughties but I was too busy galavanting around...
