🚨WAS IT ACTUALLY YOUR TECHNIQUE?🚨

Missed the green? Don’t automatically assume your swing was the problem 👀

Lie. Wind. Yardage. Club selection. Alignment. Ball position.

There’s a LOT that can go wrong before you even swing the club.

Before you start picking your technique apart, work out why you actually hit the bad shot. 🎯

🚨 CONTROLLED AGGRESSION 🚨

There’s a big difference between being aggressive and being reckless 👀

From 95 yards, I’ve got enough loft to attack—but going straight at this flag brings the bunker and a short-sided nightmare into play.

My target is just left of the flag:

Push it slightly ➡️ Close to the pin
Pull it slightly ⬅️ Safely on the green
Hit my target 🎯 Great result

Attack the shot—but understand where your safe miss is.

🚨BALL OUT…FEET IN! HERE’S HOW TO PLAY IT🚨

Ball’s not in the bunker… but your feet are. 😩

Most golfers bunch themselves up, stab down at it and either duff it or miss it completely.

The key is in the setup:

✅ Settle your feet into the sand
✅ Let your arms hang naturally
✅ Position the handle slightly ahead
✅ Use practice swings to find your strike point

Get the setup right and give yourself a chance from an awkward spot like this!

🚨YOUR OPEN STANCE COULD BE THE PROBLEM🚨

Forever duffing your chip shots? 😩

Opening your stance too much can make your strike and sequencing far harder than they need to be.

Close things off, create some structure and let your chest and arms rotate through together.

🚨THE SECRET TO HANDLING PRESSURE🚨

Pressure doesn’t just affect your swing — it affects your breathing too 😮‍💨

When the shot matters, most golfers grip tighter, hold their breath and spend far too long standing over the ball.

Take a deep breath, release the tension and commit. Simple — but incredibly effective under pressure.

Do you ever catch yourself holding your breath over the ball? 👇

🚨 DREAD THE DOWNHILL CHIP? 🚨

Most golfers forget to match their shoulder line to the slope.

For a right-handed golfer, feel that lead shoulder working down. This helps move your low point forward and gives you a far better chance of finding a clean strike.

Make the adjustment—and rehearse it—before you step over the ball.

70 yards to the flag doesn’t always mean it’s a 70-yard shot.

Uphill. Into wind. Ball on an upslope. Can’t see the bottom of the flag.

Rather than thinking “I’ll just give it a bit more…” give yourself an actual number.

For me? 70 became 90.

Pick the number. Commit to it. Give yourself a chance of getting it there. 🎯

🚨STOP LOCKING YOUR LEAD ARM🚨

There’s a big difference between creating structure and forcing yourself into a position your body simply doesn’t like.

Look at the best players in the world — there isn’t ONE version of correct.

Your body. Your movement. Your golf swing.

That’s a huge part of how I coach. I want to understand the golfer in front of me, not just force everyone into the same textbook positions.

🚨 DO NOT BREAK YOUR WRISTS 🚨

Stuck against a tree with just enough room to make a swing… but nowhere to finish it?

Don’t force a normal golf shot.

Move the ball back, get the pressure forward, stand the club a little more upright and think short, sharp, STOP. ✋

You’re trying to get as much energy into the back of the ball as possible WITHOUT needing a follow-through.

Save the club.
Save the wrists.
Advance it down the hole. ✅

Sometimes that’s all the shot needs to do.

Would you play this… or just chip it out sideways? 👇
