🚨 WELCOME TO COMMON SENSE WORLD 🚨

Blocked out behind a tree?

Most golfers instantly look sideways.

Have you looked up?

In this situation, a simple wedge over the top leaves a short club into the green, whereas the “safe” option could actually leave a much tougher next shot.

Assess. Trust your strike pattern. Think one shot ahead.

The smartest option isn’t always the most obvious one. 👊🏻

🚨220 OR 300🚨

🏌️ Simple question…

220 yards and every fairway…

OR

300 yards and a lottery ticket every time you pull the driver?

Which one are you taking?

🚨4 THINGS I’D DO IF I STARTED AGAIN TOMORROW🚨

If I could start golf all over again tomorrow, these are the 4 things I’d do differently.

🏌️ Get lessons early
🏌️ Stop machine-gunning balls on the range
🏌️ Learn short game immediately
🏌️ Listen to ONE voice

Golf is hard enough without making it harder for yourself.

What’s something you wish you’d known when you first started? 👇

🚨STOP GUESSING AROUND THE GREENS🚨

Most golfers grab a club and hope for the best.

Instead, ask yourself 3 simple questions:

✅ What’s the lie like?
✅ Where do I want the ball to land?
✅ What loft do I need to play that shot?

Golf isn’t always simple, but having a simple process can make decision-making around the greens a lot easier.

Next time you’re faced with a chip shot, stop guessing and start assessing. 👊🏻

🚨SHORT GAME SCHOOLS🚨

A huge thank you to everyone who attended our latest Short Game School.

Me and Ryan came away buzzing. Great group, great attitudes, plenty of laughs and some fantastic progress made throughout the afternoon. 👊🏻

We covered everything from putting, pace control using the SAM Putt Lab, through to pitching, chipping and bunker play. We also used TrackMan and GC3 to test distance control, strike quality and decision-making in more realistic on-course situations.

July is now almost full with just 3 spaces remaining across the two schools, while September still has availability.

Thanks again to everyone who joined us. We can’t wait to do it all again soon! ⛳️

If you’d like information on any of the remaining dates, just drop me a message.

🚨THE WEDGE MISTAKE MOST GOLFERS MAKE🚨

“I can never get my wedges close…”

I hear it all the time.

The problem? Most golfers try to hit every wedge shot at 100%.

Full swings make it harder to control:

❌ Distance
❌ Strike
❌ Start line

Learn your ¾ wedge numbers and you’ll start hitting more shots pin-high and giving yourself more birdie chances. 👊🏻⛳

🚨 TAKE YOUR MEDICINE 🚨

Most golfers turn one bad shot into two… 🌲

Stop chasing miracle shots.
Chip out. Reset. Stay in the game.

That decision alone can save your scorecard 👊🏻⛳️

🚨THE HARDEST SHOT IN GOLF!?🚨

“One of the hardest shots in golf…” 👀

The 70-yard bunker shot is absolute limbo land.

Too much sand? Ball comes up short.
Too clean? You’re skulling it through the back of the green.

This is where most golfers make it WAY harder than it needs to be…

❌ Open stance
❌ Open face
❌ Maximum loft
❌ Trying to smash a 60°

Instead…
✅ Square yourself up
✅ Keep the weight forward
✅ Ball slightly forward
✅ Take LESS loft

A pitching wedge from the bunker!? Yep.

You’re trying to control strike and flight… not play the hero shot of your life. 🎯

Save this for your next round 👊🏻⛳️

🚨YOUR FINISH POSITION IS EXPOSING YOUR GOLF SWING🚨

Most golfers are obsessed with where the BALL goes… 👀

Good players watch what happens AFTER impact.

Can you actually hold your finish?
Or are you falling backwards, spinning out or instantly chasing the shot? 🤯

Tour players don’t “pose for the camera” for fun…
Their movement patterns ALLOW them to.

Your finish position exposes rhythm, balance & sequencing REAL quick 👊🏻🏌️‍♂️

🚨THIS IS WHY YOUR CHIP SHOTS COME UP SHORT🚨

Most golfers see a ridge… and instantly panic loft 😅

But this is where understanding the lie changes everything.

⬆️ Upslope
⬆️ Into an upslope
⬆️ Loads of green to work with

So a 60° here actually becomes TOO lofted.

The ball launches high, lands soft and kills all momentum.

Instead… less loft.
52° wedge.
Lower launch.
More release.
Let the slope do the work 👊🏻

Better players read the CONDITIONS… not just the yardage.
