Some of you have had the opportunity to take some coaching with me and for those of you who I have not had the pleasure, I hope to have the honour at some point. Over the course of our newsletters I will add some material that will help you to get a picture of me as a coach. I don't have fixed ideas on methods or theories, I see my role being to work with you to help you get better using my knowledge, experience and your ambition to get there. With time I hope to have the opportunity to help you do just that. Someone who has had a big influence on my coaching and understanding of the technical side of the game is Mac O’Grady. Many of you may remember him from his time with Seve, particularly towards the end of his career. Mac was certainly a little eccentric in his ways but without doubt one of the best swingers of a golf club and ball strikers anyone has ever seen. His knowledge of the swing and his ability to hit different shots is unparalleled. I decided to visit Mac many years ago after hearing his named mentioned in the same sentence as Ben Hogan and Moe Norman, he was the only one available! Although he is now less available to see I feel very fortunate to have spent time with him. Many of the worlds best known coaches, have at some point studied or spent time with this great man. Just to give you a flavour of his talents here are two videos of him swinging right AND left handed. I have added some more videos to our Academy video link, I hope you are finding them helpful. If there is some part of the swing or game that you would like me to feature in your newsletter please feel free to click here and I will get to work on it! Don't forget the password dlgc...
