Happy Thanksgiving!

Mark Kelly did a great job on Saturday night at the Meldrum House Dinner Dance of Giving Thanks, with his ‘Golfer Grace’ before dinner. It was a great night with plenty of red wine about! Well done to all the prize winners!

From birds-eye view


I had reason to be thankful a few weeks ago in Tenerife when I tried something new: paragliding! I was thankful I made it from mountain to beach in one piece! My pilot for the day was Simon from Wales and he gave me a good bit of coaching before and during the flight. He gave me verbal for my take off run – ‘your take off was s***!’. It’s not the kind of feedback I give during lessons, don’t worry. I reckon I had mitigating circumstances given the sign at the top of the mountain! It was worth it all once we landed at the beach and I ordered a cold one at the beach bar!
   
   
You can do it!

It’s great for me in my job to try learning a new skill, as it gives me an insight as to how hard it is to change and learn a new skill in golf. It renews my attitude to be really patient when giving out advice for golfers. I think it’s one of my strong points when coaching. However, sometimes the pupil is not patient enough with themselves.

Sometimes an instant improvement happens when you try something new in golf, but usually it takes a little longer to get it to sink in. So, give yourself a break (from the negative self-talk), especially at this time of year and you’ll reap the benefits later.

If you are looking to improve you golfing skills, get in touch and I can help you achieve them.
