The surest way to play better golf is to get better at "PLAYING" golf

I call these "PLAYING" skills the invisible skills.

When you watch accomplished players, you see repeating swings, smooth putting strokes, and clever short-game shots. At first glance it looks like those visible skills alone produce the results the game demands. But what you don’t always see are the invisible skills that make those shots possible—choosing the right shot for the situation, using pre and post shot routines that quiet interference, and the commitment to practice habits that support on-course execution. These are the "playing" skills, and without strengthening these invisible skills it will be difficult to make lasting progress in your efforts to improve.

The real key to better golf is this: stop imitating the visible skills of elite players and start modeling their mastery of the invisible ones.

SHIFT from working on your swing, to working on your game.

We can help you see the invisble...if you SHIFT.

If you want to play better you need to learn and practice the skills that support playing the game not just swinging the club.

"I have observed in my lifetime commitment to this game that all players, even the best in the world, have a performance gap which keeps them from shooting their best scores more often. With our inventive "Performance Gap Golf Program", I look forward to helping players recognize their identity as a golfer and map a path to successful scoring through management of the triad of skill, mindset, and emotional resilience."

My livliehood depends on getting the most out of my game. Commitment to effective practice and managing on course interference gives me the best chance to make that happen.

Thirty years ago I made the SHIFT to working on my game instead of chasing the perfect swing. I went from battling to keep my card every year to being a tour winner and a consistent top 50 performer. The SHIFT is the secret to my golfing success and now I want to share it with you.

Do you really know what is holding you back? It's probably not what you think it is.

I continue to be reminded daily that most of my students think the #1 cause of poor play is their technique. My guiding principle as a coach is not to ignore this type of thinking but to first create awareness of the many mental and physical roadblocks that are ever present in the playing environment. When discoveries are made here, and awareness is heightened, both play and practice often become a new and enlightening experience.
