Butch Harmon has made some insightful comments about Tiger Woods in the Wall Street Journal. From a coaching and learning perspective his remarks are spot on. I’m pleased to hear a coach getting away from the technical instruction that’s so prevalent. “For me, and I think we saw this at the Masters, he looks like…
I found this video quite moving and inspirational at the same time. It has absolutely nothing to do with golf but hit me between the eyes with an important lesson. Little Cain was prepared to “play the game” before he was famous. He turned up each time and acted like he was a star when…

There was an interesting discussion on Melbourne sports radio this week. Kevin Bartlett and Patrick Smith were debating whether the best woman player, Yani Tseng, could match it with world number one, Luke Donald, from 150 metres and in. The idea was that by removing power maybe Yseng could be competitive. Bartlett’s opinion is that…
