Most golfers don’t actually know what’s holding their short game back.

They practise.
They watch tips.
They try new techniques.

But the real issue usually sits in one of three areas: Technique, Skill, or Performance.

I built a free 2-minute Short Game Assessment to help you identify exactly where your biggest opportunity sits, so your practice finally has direction.

Take the quiz and see what your short game really needs.

27 years of chipping yips… gone in 27 minutes 😳
No gimmicks. Just understanding low point — where and how the club meets the ground.

I’ve put everything you need to know (plus drills) into a free ebook.

🇺🇸🇪🇺 Ryder Cup week is finally here – and it all kicks off today at Bethpage!

There will be plenty of birdies this week, but it’s the short game that keeps momentum alive. Over the last few days I’ve been working closely with Justin Rose to get ready for every possible situation – especially from the rough and the bunkers.

We’ve put in a lot of focused work on strike, control, and decision-making so that when the pressure’s on, he has the answers. These little details can swing matches just as much as the big drives and birdie putts.

Bethpage is going to be electric. Let’s go Team Europe! 💥⛳️🔥

Who do you think will come up clutch this week?
