1 thing fixes 4. Not 4 to fix 1.

Because the tournament doesn’t lie. It just reveals what your training prepared you for.

Take 5 minutes today. Write out the real demands of tournament golf — technical, tactical, physical, and mental. Then ask yourself: Does your training actually match those demands?

So… Are you training week to week to pass that exam — or are you studying for the wrong one?

I often use this analogy with players: Tournament golf is the exam. The course is the examiner. Your practice habits are the study notes.

What does your tournament play reveal about your training?

Movement self-organises around clear intent. Unclear intent → a swing with no purpose. Intention is everything.

Try this: 🎯 Imagine the finish position for a high fade. Then imagine the finish position for a shot with no intention. Which one is clearer in your mind’s eye?

That’s the thing about golf. The swing doesn’t organise around mechanics — it organises around intent. No clear picture = no clear movement.

2️⃣ “See the in-between shot you just hit.” Nothing. Blank. When I asked him to show me that finish position — there was nothing to show. The body couldn’t organise because the intention was indecisive. The movement had no task to solve.

We then ran two visuals: 1️⃣ “See a high draw.” He pictured it clearly — even felt the finish. When I asked him to show me the finish, he could. Instantly.

I asked him: If I walked into a bank and said, “I’ll probably pay you back,” what are my chances of getting the loan? He laughed — but it landed.

A player told me today: “I’m probably going to hit a draw… but maybe straight.” The result? A squirty heely cut.

Practice transfer isn’t an accident — it’s a design feature. If you want to shoot lower scores, you have to train the ability to score.

Think about some of the areas that drive tournament scoring: Decision-making. Patience. Shot selection. Emotional control. That’s some of the art of scoring.

That’s the problem. We expect to score when the pressure’s on, but we rarely practice scoring.

I asked: “What do you get paid for?” “Shooting low scores.” Then I asked: “Are you practicing the skill you get paid for?” He paused. “No.”
