STEP 1. TECHNIQUE DEVELOPMENT PHASE

There is no substitute in elite golf for the marriage of great technical, physical & mental skills. ‘In the end quality in these 3 areas always wins’.

Fundamental technical skills are one of the the ingredients of a great player & eventually for the elite golfer, swinging the club with great technique becomes as natural as breathing. When it works every day and under the highest pressure, that’s when the magic can really start and results follow .

The most important objective in this phase is the Golf Swing and Skills Sets Technique. After this program the players’ golf swing will be fundamentally sound and life lasting.

STEP 2. SKILLS DEVELOPMENT PHASE

Once the correct core fundamental movement in the golfswing has been ingrained, it is much easier to adapt this correct movement pattern to all the necessary skills & compete at the very highest level. Quite simply all great skills are a result of a great core fundamental movement pattern.

Skills: Driving

Fairway Woods/Hybrids Long Irons
Middle Irons
Short Irons

Pitching Chipping Bunker Play Putting
Shot shaping

So we systematically work through the list of skills in the order of most important & weakest, until we become solid in all skill sets.

STEP 3. PERFORMANCE PHASE

Once we have a great golf swing and great skill set, it is time to move from the range onto the golf course, learning how to perform and convert our skills into scores and results.

We will spend a lot of this phase on both the range and the golf course, monitoring scores in practice & 1 day local tournaments.

To perform we need to learn on course mental skills to maximize performance including:

Game plan
Course Management Decision making Focus

Confidence Determination Pressure Management Mindfulness

In addition there are nuances each player would operate on their own unique ideal mindset in tournament play. Some players work best with extreme focus and fight mentality. For example, Tiger Woods & Nick Faldo.

The there are others whom operate in a more relaxed, switch focus on, switch focus off mode. For example Ernie Els & Sergio Garcia.

It is our task to evaluate and encourage the players to operate in their own personal mental sweet spot in tournament play and implement ideal game strategies.

STEP 4 COMPETING PHASE

The last phase is where we test the players in tournament play. Our presence on tournament site is critical to evaluate the learned strategy, game skills, stats and the mental status before, during and after the round.

Methodology of tournament preparation is also extremely important, including sleep, hygiene, diet, hydration, warm up strategy, and post round practice sessions used for next day adjustments.
