The Umbrella Challenge caused absolute scenes at junior coaching today 🌂⛳️😂

40 yards.
3 umbrella targets.
Pressure on.

1 umbrella = 🍫
2 umbrellas = 🍫🥤
3 umbrellas = 🍫🥤⛳️

Today’s final score…

Kids happiness 📈
My bank account 📉😂 (£14 gone)

But honestly… worth every penny.

Because this is how juniors really learn golf.

Not standing in lines smashing balls endlessly…

But through games, pressure, competition, creativity and FUN 👊

Watching the boys and girls realise:
“I can actually hit this shot…”

That’s the magic moment ✨

The smiles, celebrations and energy today were unreal 🙌

Future golfers are built through confidence and enjoyment first. ⛳️🔥

125mph club head speed… 👀💨
Yeah, Oli has got some serious firepower.

But speed alone doesn’t guarantee low scores. Power is great… but control is what travels under pressure 👀

Out on the course we focused on the things that actually transfer to scoring:

⛳️ Process
🧠 Clarity over the shot
📍 Adjusting correctly for slopes and lies
🎯 Predictable contact and ball flight around the greens

With speed over 125mph, the impact window becomes tiny. Tiny errors create big misses.

So a huge part of the work is learning to release the club more efficiently through impact to tighten dispersion, improve strike quality, and gain more control 🔥

Really pleased with the progress already showing in the long game 👏

Now it’s about sharpening the scoring tools:

✔️ Better decisions
✔️ Cleaner strikes on sloping lies
✔️ More predictable short game shots
✔️ Turning power into lower scores 📉

Even elite speed players still need structure and process to score.

Excited to see what Oli can produce this season 🔥🏌️

Bank holiday with the family… and somehow we still ended up at 😂⛳

Their new place is unreal 👏 top setup, proper space, and everything you’d want to work on your game.🎉⛳️

Dylan steps up… gives it a rip…
and sends one straight into the top of the simulator screen 😅

Ball stuck.
Session over.
His reaction… absolutely priceless 🤣

Sometimes it’s not about perfect swings… it’s moments like this.

On course with Paul today ⛳️🔥

Single figure handicap… but still leaking shots in the wrong places.

That’s the difference at this level.

We cleaned it up.

Seeing it 3D down the fairway 👀🎯
Clear plan. Full commitment ✅

From doubt → decisive over every shot 💭➡️💥

Then we refined the scoring 🔥

Uphill pitch shots (where most miss left…) ⬆️
Lower body more open ↗️
Using the slope to control strike + start line 🎯

Better start lines → building confidence into the next hole 📈
Swing mode → ball mode 🧠➡️⚽️

Big shift… 🏆
Understands his miss
Controls his patterns
Handles the bad ones without frustration 😌

Now it’s about stacking good rounds and trusting it 💪
(I already do 🙌)

If you’re a single figure still leaving shots out there…
message me “ON COURSE” 💬⛳️

This is where your score actually falls apart… not the range ⛳🔥

On the course with Tony today.
Back nine. Beginner golfer.

Heavy strikes → cleaner contact higher on the face ✔️
Duffing chips → far fewer duffs 🚫
Low, weak shots → higher, more consistent flight 🚀

We kept it simple. Then unlocked the big one…

The truth about lies 📍

Ball above your feet? Aim left. Grip down ⬅️
Downhill? Expect lower flight. Less spin 📉

No guessing. No overthinking.
Just clear decisions and better outcomes 👊

You could see it straight away…
Less confusion ❌
More confidence ✅

Tony’s not just hitting it better… he’s starting to understand how to score 🧠⛳

Big shoutout to his wife walking the course with us, taking notes and attending the flag 👏
