If you’d like the kind of mental focus in your golf that other players talk about – and delivers great satisfaction for you - then consider individualised tuition via one-on-one coaching.     

We also offer workshops for groups of players or corporate teams – as a one-off customised exercise or as part of business retreats or pre-conference programs.

We endeavour to be as flexible as possible with our customised tuition and the following is an indication how we charge and time services.  Contact us to discuss your requirements.

Fee structures:

Individual sessions are timed by the hour, with a minimum booking of one hour. Cost depends on your preference for the number of sessions.

Group workshops costs are based on the number of participants and the corresponding session duration; minimum session lengths apply.

Our session and workshop fees are payable in advance, usually upon booking.  Major expenses such as any travel and accommodation expenses are additional.

To discuss your needs or to ask further questions about our training program, please use this contact form.  We will be in touch as soon as possible.

We look forward to helping you discover the magic of focus in golf, and wish you much enjoyment from your game.

Among the most common of these emotions is depression, along with its sister, anxiety.

Depression can be a difficult challenge, especially if we’re unsure about why we feel the way we do.  Anxiety can also set in as our emotions spiral out of control and we search for something to explain why this is happening.  For men it can be even more difficult as talking about emotions isn’t always easy or encouraged among peers. 

Regardless of how inspired or not you feel to begin to make changes in your life, you deserve to be happy and live a fulfilled and happy life.  There are many empathetic people out there ready to help, and the path to feeling better may mean you reaching out to them and what they offer. 

First off, let me say that if you are not feeling yourself in any way at all and it’s an ongoing situation, seek out the advice of a qualified medical practitioner who will help you find the right path to rebalancing your feelings and get you back on track, where a sense of contentment can return to everyday life.

Mindfulness meditation is one of the most effective non-clinical ways of addressing stress, pain, depression, and anxiety. 

Its gentle, unconditional ability to build self-awareness in people from diverse backgrounds and for many applications, has seen it become one of the most talked about and studied modalities in modern medicine, and in particular, the area of mental health.

In essence, mindfulness meditation is a set of techniques and concepts which, when applied during our practice of focus-building or concentration meditation – such as when we need to improve our inner golf game - allows us to improve and maintain that focus to gain the greatest benefit. 

Its many practical, insightful and life-affirming strategies help us deal not only with the distractions that get in the way of our meditation and focused mind state, but also the experiences and challenges we have day-to-day in our lives, away from meditation practice.

While the mindfulness techniques worked remarkably well for golfers, I also wanted to find a way to introduce and maintain a mind training element to supplement our sessions, or for when players were on the road on tour and/or needed a boost or refresher.  A big part of utilising mind power tactics, however, involves trying to avoid manipulating the outcomes, which can be very difficult when we habitually control all aspects of our golf game. 

A resource I’ve looked at for working in this space is “Minding Your Game(TM)” and I think it might be of interest to you too if finding a tool for improving your mental game.  It’s put together by a Canadian called Wade Pearse who, about 10 years ago, became very interested in golf and wanted to play as well as he possibly could.  At the time he was in college studying the Psychology of Human Excellence and learning about what made people excel in their chosen area of life.  So he took those principles of personal transformation and applied them to his own golf game with fantastic results. 

As they got to hear about the successes Wade was having, golfers from around the world and from all skill levels started to use his training program with similarly great results.  Since then he’s been around the world helping people with his approach in Australia, South Africa, UK, USA and at home in Canada.

I’ve included an engaging short video below featuring Wade talking about his system.  Have a look, see what you think and if you might work for you. 

I’ve also chosen it as it’s very well priced, available immediately online, has videos, audio and e-book components, and comes with a useful package of bonuses.

To provide some good background on this area and its role in practise or game strategies, check out this 3-minute video, which features a program run by respected teachers of philosphy and Asian spiritual concepts, including Deepak Chopra, who himself has discovered the power of these in refining the game of golf.  Chopra introduces some challenging ideas which will demonstrate the potential of this approach and help you decide if it might be for you.

After you’ve watched the video, check out the book titles included below written by Chopra and Joe Parent, a popular tutor and author in this area of golf also featured in the video.

Golf For Enlightenment by Deepak Chopra

By the recognised leader in mind-body medicine, this is the fable of Adam Seaver, an ordinary person with a terrible game who meets a mysterious young teaching pro named Wendy who, in seven crisp, short yet profound lessons, teaches him things that seem baffling at first: You and the ball are one; Find the now, and you will find the shot; Let the game play you. 
From the moment they begin to put these lessons into practice, what was previously a humiliation turns into a transforming experience, not just for Adam’s score but for his whole life.

Zen Golf: Mastering the Mental Game by Joe Parent

In his highly original and groundbreaking book, noted PGA coach and Buddhist instructor, Dr. Joseph Parent, draws on this natural connection and teaches golfers how to clear their minds, achieve ultimate focus, and play in the moment for each shot.
