GOLF - A GAME FOR LIFE!  Golf in Perth Golf lessons in Perth golf teaching Perth

The great thing about golf is that you can start playing at any age and you will improve through out your life. Of course the younger you start the better are your chances of improving faster. I don't know about too many active sports that a grandparent can play with their grandchild and where the grandchild will still be learning about golf when he or she is a grandparent him/herself. This is why I say golf is a game for life.

GOLF OUT OF YOUR MIND
For me, this is not only a slogan, this is part of my philosophy:
In life and golf you can learn from so many people. I have been fortunate to see some of the top teachers, players and psychologists and enjoy being able to share these experiences with my students. After reaching a good base on technique you can achieve more with mental strength. Confidence in life or golf is the key to survival, that inner belief in yourself is the key to reaching your maximum.

 “Quitters never win and winners never quit”, I love that saying or, “When the going gets tough the tough gets going”. A particular favourite of mine is “It is better to try and to fail than to fail to try”. None of these are new but ones I like and never forget. You are the only one who is making it.

I read recently that Boo Weekley's caddy fought in the Iraq war. He said, when he has an important shot to play he looks at his caddy and that for him puts everything back into perspective. This is something that took me a long time to understand that you are the only one who is making it. You should not care about the others - all they want to do is beat you. So the sooner you can put things into perspective the better off you will be. If you go home and say ‘I gave my best shot regardless of the result’, you are already going down the right track.
