🚨 LOSING YOUR BALANCE IN YOUR GOLF SWING? 🚨

If you’re constantly fighting to stay balanced, check where the pressure is moving during your backswing.

Allow it to drift onto the outside of your trail foot and your hips can begin to sway away from the ball. From there, you’ve got to chase the strike and somehow get everything back in sync at speed!

Instead, feel the pressure working down the inside of your trail leg and foot.

Less sway. Better balance. More control. 👊🏻🏌️‍♂️

🚨TRYING TO BREAK 90? MAKE BOGEY BORING🚨

Trying to break 90? Bogeys aren’t destroying your scorecard — the big numbers are.

Stop following one mistake with another:

❌ Attacking impossible flags
❌ Playing the hero shot
❌ Taking on gaps that aren’t there
❌ Turning a simple bogey into a triple

Make bogey boring. The pars will come — and those big numbers will disappear.

🚨WAS IT ACTUALLY YOUR TECHNIQUE?🚨

Missed the green? Don’t automatically assume your swing was the problem 👀

Lie. Wind. Yardage. Club selection. Alignment. Ball position.

There’s a LOT that can go wrong before you even swing the club.

Before you start picking your technique apart, work out why you actually hit the bad shot. 🎯

🚨 CONTROLLED AGGRESSION 🚨

There’s a big difference between being aggressive and being reckless 👀

From 95 yards, I’ve got enough loft to attack—but going straight at this flag brings the bunker and a short-sided nightmare into play.

My target is just left of the flag:

Push it slightly ➡️ Close to the pin
Pull it slightly ⬅️ Safely on the green
Hit my target 🎯 Great result

Attack the shot—but understand where your safe miss is.

🚨BALL OUT…FEET IN! HERE’S HOW TO PLAY IT🚨

Ball’s not in the bunker… but your feet are. 😩

Most golfers bunch themselves up, stab down at it and either duff it or miss it completely.

The key is in the setup:

✅ Settle your feet into the sand
✅ Let your arms hang naturally
✅ Position the handle slightly ahead
✅ Use practice swings to find your strike point

Get the setup right and give yourself a chance from an awkward spot like this!

🚨YOUR OPEN STANCE COULD BE THE PROBLEM🚨

Forever duffing your chip shots? 😩

Opening your stance too much can make your strike and sequencing far harder than they need to be.

Close things off, create some structure and let your chest and arms rotate through together.

🚨THE SECRET TO HANDLING PRESSURE🚨

Pressure doesn’t just affect your swing — it affects your breathing too 😮‍💨

When the shot matters, most golfers grip tighter, hold their breath and spend far too long standing over the ball.

Take a deep breath, release the tension and commit. Simple — but incredibly effective under pressure.

Do you ever catch yourself holding your breath over the ball? 👇

🚨 DREAD THE DOWNHILL CHIP? 🚨

Most golfers forget to match their shoulder line to the slope.

For a right-handed golfer, feel that lead shoulder working down. This helps move your low point forward and gives you a far better chance of finding a clean strike.

Make the adjustment—and rehearse it—before you step over the ball.

70 yards to the flag doesn’t always mean it’s a 70-yard shot.

Uphill. Into wind. Ball on an upslope. Can’t see the bottom of the flag.

Rather than thinking “I’ll just give it a bit more…” give yourself an actual number.

For me? 70 became 90.

Pick the number. Commit to it. Give yourself a chance of getting it there. 🎯
