Maybe the best quote in relation to golf coaches
Scotty is a legend. He looks at golf instruction from a different perspective. He thinks us golfers are a crazy lot and need to back our learning capabilities more. Last week he sent the below quote to me. I wasn’t expecting it but it rocked me – maybe the best quote I’ve seen in relation to the…

Scott Barrow has been talked about here (and here) before, David Rath is the High Performance Manager at Hawthorn Football Club and Damian Farrow is perhaps…
An expert coach has his say
I found an email from Scott Barrow while cleaning out my inbox. Scott has been a mate for a few years and we both share an interest in coaching and thinking outside the box. This post offers two different perspectives which I hope you find interesting. Scott is not a golfer, but is coming from…
Be the ball
“I’ve had a breakthrough!” These were the words Scott first mentioned to me. He was calling from the airport lounge, and had been watching the TV before departure. “Not sure what event is on, but I’ve been watching some golf and it’s all making sense to me how a golfer should play.” The event was…
