Some very good putting advice
Kevin O’Neill has thought long and hard about putting. He calls himself the Putting Professor and for good reason. He has developed a unique putter (which I recommend) and has devoted much of his adult life to helping golfers play better – and in particular the putting game. We are like minded souls. We have…
This is a neglected golf fundamental
Di is seeing me for some golf lessons over the next few weeks. Our first lesson went really well and it highlighted to me (for about the 897th time) that many golfers don’t know a really basic fundamental of the game. This is not to be critical of my students, but it’s a dig at…
My best round of Automatic Golf
Despite discussing Automatic Golf for over 14 years, I still get the feeling that some golfers think it’s some sort of magic trick. This is rubbish and not the case at all and it’s one of my biggest frustrations. Automatic Golf is way more than a tip or quick-fix. It’s a way of thinking (and…

Here at GolfGooRoo Global Headquarters I often get accused of not caring much about swing mechanics. This is not the case … … I just think that we tend to place too much significance on the swing and not enough on actually playing the game. Here’s a simple swing drill that ticks a lot of…
The biggest problems with traditional golf coaching
Here’s an interesting conversation I had with Evan on the main problems with traditional golf coaching. This happened a few years back but the message is still relevant. Evan: So what are the biggest problems with traditional golf coaching? Cameron: How long have you got? Here’s one of the most serious issues I see. Almost…
Perfection versus acceptance
The opposite of perfection is acceptance. It’s easy to fall into the trap of wanting to do everything perfectly well. “I must drive the ball straight down the middle” “The ball must find the hole” “My swing needs to be spot on otherwise I won’t play any good” But here’s something for you to consider:…
