How Did I Get Started in Golf?

At the age of twelve, while on a trip to Ireland, I learned that golf was quite literally in my blood. While there I had the opportunity to meet my great uncle, the Irish golf legend Christy O’Connor Snr. and his nephew Ryder Cup hero Christy O’Connor Jnr.

The family records and accomplishments inspired me, and I have loved golf ever since. As my progression through the game continues, I have a much greater understanding of just how remarkable these achievements are and continue to look to them for inspiration.

What is Mental Performance Coaching?

Mental Golf Performance Coaching teaches players to access their best!

  • It gives one the ability to learn their best mode of operating for peak performance

  • It also gives players the opportunity to learn what stresses them and how to return to the zone

The number one killer of performance is stress, as stress manifests itself in a variety of physical and mental symptoms that can wreak havoc throughout a round of golf.

What is the Blog?

This Blog is a place where I give insights on the various aspects of golf and explore my in-depth thoughts on golf related topics. My goal is to provide a perspective through the lens of a young golf professional, and sometimes read between the lines by examining current golf events through less conventional angles. Some of my posts come from day-dreams, and others were born out of trying to maximize my own golf potential.

All thoughts are welcome, 

Hope you enjoy,
