Back in September I had the pleasure of interviewing Top Golf Instructor Butch Harmon. I asked him about the mental game and how important it was in the game. He felt golf was 50% mechanics and 50% mental. You need both solid fundamentals and golf smarts to score low. He emphasized that each golfer is different and […]

I know I usually write about golf and the mental side of performance, but I had to share a great experience I had watching the movie Dark Knight. The next installment in the Batman franchise was an example of intense film making that left me wondering how they did it. In particular I was mesmerized […]

This week has been very busy as I got back from Austin, Texas doing some mental game seminars. Even though it is British Open week I was not able to see any of the first three rounds. In fact I really didn’t get to see how the third round finished so I woke up early […]

Now that Tiger has announced he will hang it up for the rest of the year due to injury it gives the other guys a chance to shine. The problem is that the media will continue to say that a tour without Tiger should have an asterisk because the best is not in the field. […]

            It is easy in the information age to seek out resources that will answer a question, improve lives, and entertain. Yesterday’s blog post I started a new format to share information that will help improve lives. I believe that our society is getting more competitive and what worked a few years ago will not […]

As I was preparing training for a corporate client I realized that so many businesses have it all wrong. Most businesses focus on what their competition is doing. They think that if they figure out what the competition is doing that they can fix their business. Unfortunately this doesn’t work because the business is always […]

Watching the Presidents Cup last weekend I was intrigued by the consistent answer of the Americans on why they played so well. They all attributed their great golf to having fun with their teammates off the course and that enjoyment was felt while playing. I get a kick out of how professional athletes think that if […]
