Episode notes
Sequence Is The Engine
- Identify your sequence as the engine of your golf swing and prioritise fixing it.
- Focusing on sequence yields bigger gains than tweaking isolated parts.
Practice Progression: Home To Range
- Do slow-motion and freeze swings at home before you go to the range.
- Then warm up on the range and use random practice to simulate course variability.
Pressure-Test In The Crucible
- Pressure-test changes in a 'crucible' that simulates consequence and stress.
- Train a consistent pre-shot and mental routine so practice transfers to competition.
