M a s t e r s T o u r n a m e n t | 2026

As Masters week arrives once again, I find myself reflecting on what is, for me, one of the most powerful images ever captured at Augusta National. Rory McIlroy, down on his knees, overcome not just by victory, but by everything it took to get there.

It wasn’t just about winning a green jacket. It was about perseverance. About coming back, time and again, to a place that had tested him so deeply. About embracing the pressure rather than being defined by it.

As the world turns its eyes once more to The Masters Tournament, it’s a timely reminder of why we love this game. Not for perfection, but for the pursuit of it. Not for the easy victories; but for the hard-earned ones that mean everything.

As Augusta takes centre stage once more, we can expect a week of drama, tradition, and moments that endure long after the final putt. Can Rory do the unthinkable and go back to back?

Introducing the new Wilson Golf 1914 Premium PU Leather Bag; a product that beautifully nods to the heritage of the game while delivering a truly premium, modern finish.

Crafted with timeless styling, exceptional quality, and subtle detailing that reflects over a century of golfing tradition, this bag stands out as a genuine celebration of where the game has come from.

Those who know me will recognise I’ve always had an appreciation for the heritage of the game, with a particular fondness for vintage equipment and the traditions that define it. Seeing a product like this come to market is, quite simply, a real treat.

It is a reminder that while the game continues to evolve, there will always be a place for craftsmanship, authenticity, and a connection to golf’s rich history.

I n s t r u c t i o n | the first move

The phrase “one-piece takeaway” has been repeated in golf instruction for decades, yet from a biomechanical perspective it is arguably one of the more misleading pieces of guidance to have entered mainstream coaching language over the past half-century.

The expression implies that the club, arms, and shoulders should begin the backswing as a single rigid unit. While this concept may have been intended to discourage excessive hand manipulation, it fails to reflect the fundamental geometry and kinematics of the golf swing.

In reality, the golf swing is composed of multiple segments moving along arcs of different radii. The clubhead travels on the largest and longest arc, the lead hand on a smaller arc, and the lead shoulder on a smaller arc still. Because objects travelling on larger radii must cover greater distance to arrive at the same point in time, they must move earlier and at greater linear velocity than segments travelling on smaller radii.

Therefore, if the objective of a well-sequenced backswing is for the clubhead, hands, arms, and shoulders to arrive near the top of the swing at roughly the same moment, each reaching the end of its functional range, then the motion cannot realistically occur as a perfectly unified “one piece” movement. Instead, the geometry of the system requires subtle differential motion: the clubhead must begin moving first and travel faster than the lead hand, and the lead hand must begin moving earlier and travel faster than the lead shoulder.

A more precise understanding acknowledges that synchronisation in the backswing is achieved not through identical movement of each segment, but through correctly proportioned motion dictated by the relative arc lengths of the clubhead, hands, and shoulders.

W i l s o n G o l f | infinite zt putters

Introducing the Wilson Infinite ZT; where simplicity meets precision.

Built with zero torque technology, these putters naturally want to stay square throughout the stroke. That means less manipulation, less compensation, and a stroke that simply repeats itself again and again.

Add in a clean, confidence-inspiring alignment system and Wilson have created a putter that lets you focus on the only thing that matters, starting the ball exactly where you intend.

F a i r w a y M a t s | the danger

The biggest problem that well-meaning golfers will face this winter is this…

When playing from a mat, a 1-2 inch fat shot will often feel better than the desired ball-turf interaction. It may even go higher and farther too.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐭

When you strike an iron correctly from grass, the lowest point of your swing arc occurs after the golf ball.

That means…
• Club contacts the ball first
• Then the turf
• Producing a downward strike
• Creating compression

This is what allows the grooves to grip the ball, reduce dynamic loft, and produce a lower-launching flight with predictable spin, none of which is achievable if the shot is heavy.

Ground-first contact on a mat, however…
• The club bounces off the surface
• Retains speed through impact
• Slides into the ball
• Launching it higher with less spin

In many cases, the strike that was technically incorrect (ground-first) is rewarded with a functional, more impressive ball flight.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦

Your brain does not know what is technically correct. It learns, “That movement produced a good result.”

So after hundreds of winter balls…
• Low point drifts backwards
• Angle of attack shallows
• Dynamic loft increases
• Compression disappears

Come spring, playing from real turf…
• Contact feels heavy
• Distance control suffers
• Strike pattern becomes inconsistent
• Divots start behind the ball

And the golfer is left wondering why their "winter practice" didn’t translate.

So be mindful; mat feedback can be deceptive, and without monitoring strike you may be training a movement that won’t translate to real turf in the spring.

P u t t i n g | green speeds

One of the most common requests we hear from golfers is for the greens to be quicker. It’s completely understandable; fast greens are often associated with Tour conditions, elite venues and championship golf.

But the reality is this:

Amateur golfers perform better on slightly slower greens. And here is why…

𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐄𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫

On faster greens (~10.5 Stimpmeter), a putt started just 1° offline will miss by…

~ 1.5” at 6ft on slow/medium greens.
~ 3” at 6ft on faster greens.

Most amateurs already struggle to start the ball on line and faster greens punish this immediately

𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐢𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝

Faster greens…
• Increase total break
• Add late-stage curvature
• Make double-breakers more influential

The sweet spot for most club golfers is 8.5 – 9.5 on the Stimpmeter, this provides…

• True roll
• Forgiveness on strike and pace
• More made putts from 6–10 feet

This is why at Kinross we do not chase ultra-fast "Tour speeds", because what looks impressive often produces worse scoring, slower rounds and less enjoyment for the majority of amateur players.

A n t h o n y K i m | winner again

As much as LIV Golf isn’t really my thing, you simply cannot deny what an incredible story this is.

Anthony Kim; a player many of us genuinely thought we’d never see compete again, let alone win, returning to professional golf after more than a decade away from the game and finding his way back into the winner’s circle is nothing short of remarkable.

Whatever your views on LIV as a tour, this is a human story about resilience, perseverance, and rediscovering belief after years out of the spotlight. To step away from the game at the level he did, deal with everything that followed, and then come back to win against world-class professionals takes a level of mental strength most of us can’t even begin to comprehend.

Golf is better when stories like this happen. A brilliant moment for AK and for the sport as a whole.

2 0 2 6 D r i v e r s | my personal test

To best serve my customer base, I conducted a driver test, with each model fitted and optimised to my own swing characteristics. Performance was assessed using average distance and dispersion, alongside current UK retail pricing, to produce both performance and cost-efficiency comparisons.

How the figures were calculated…

Performance Comparison Score:
Distance ÷ Dispersion, a simple combined efficiency metric to reward accuracy and distance.

Cost Efficiency Comparison:
Retail Price ÷ (Distance ÷ Dispersion), effectively price per yard of net effective performance.

O n l i n e G o l f L e s s o n s | new for 2026

Over the past several seasons, demand for my in-person coaching has continued to grow, with waiting lists regularly extending up to six weeks during the peak golf season.

Until now, I hesitated to offer online coaching because traditional video lessons often suffer from poor camera angles, inconsistent video quality, limited depth perception, and two-dimensional analysis. These limitations can lead to misinterpretation of key swing positions and, ultimately, inaccurate feedback; something I have never been comfortable compromising on.

Now, through my partnership with Sportsbox AI, I am confident in delivering high-quality, accurate, and meaningful golf lessons online. Utilising Sportsbox AI’s advanced 3D motion capture and swing analysis technology, this platform enables precise assessment and tailored feedback; providing an experience comparable to an in-person session.

Benefits of Online Lessons:

• Convenient and flexible; learn anywhere, anytime.
• Detailed lesson reports sent within 48 hours.
• Easy ongoing communication via messaging.
• Progress tracking for continued improvement.

For enquiries, please contact me via direct message or by email at [email protected]. Begin your coaching journey with cutting-edge technology, tailored to your schedule and designed to help you achieve your full potential in 2026.
