If you want to swing faster, more accurately, develop a pattern that requires less maintenance, you're in the right place. My mission is for you to find a route to the level of ballstriking you have always wanted. Get back some of the hours you wasted practicing on the wrong things, develop autonomy so your training sessions can be more efficient, draw up a strategy to guarantee your success in the future. If you stick to the plan outlined here, and spend the hours, you will become the best ballstriker you've ever been.

I tend to see golfers that bounce from analysis to analysis hoping for an instructor that will give them that one move that will solve all of their problems. This state of mind lead to constant frustrations for both the student and the instructor. I don't believe in chance. The golf swing is indeed a very complicated motion. This is why it's the hardest game in the world.

Every swing I work with is different, especially if the student has a long golf history of deeply ingrained movements patterns. Draw in some false concepts that they may still be holding onto, and a few flaws within their swing that they may not have adressed yet, and you can start to understand how messy it can get. I am ready for this, I've been doing this for some time now. My goal is to provide you with enough insights so that you'll gain a deep understanding of your own body and athletic motion during the swing. And together we will reach your goal of becoming an elite ballstriker. I'm there to show you the door, you'll have to go through it. Welcome to Red Pill Golf!

Priorities

Sure you could putt better... but with better ballstriking, how many more pars or birdies will you make with that extra 10-20 more yards from the tee, hitting greens with a 9 iron where you were accustomed to firing a 6? How many more putts you will make being 10 feet from the cup instead of 20?

Sure you can work on your mental game, and strategy... but how you would feel on the first tee, knowing that you have the ability to hit 2-3 more greens in regulation? Would you not be in better mental state to elevate your entire round? Sure you could also listen to that old saying. "It's all in the short game". But why rely on it to save pars when you could be using it to capitalize on birdie opportunities?

These things will indeed improve your scores but strokes gained tee to green will still be the dominant metric that will change your golf life. You will have all the time in the world to focus on these additional weapons after your ball striking puzzle is complete. Or even during, cause with the proper training, it's not that difficult. What you need, is the right ingredients to complete the receipe. Your receipe. You need something precise, adapted to you, that bring results.

My passion for anatomy and helping you become an elite ball striker is hopefully well known, but it is around the greens where my true love lies. No matter your current skill level, your short game can become the most fun area to work on, if you approach it with right right strategy. My goal with this section is to bring you clarity on the fastest way to improve your short game. Whether you are a recreational player struggling with the yips or a touring professional looking for those marginal gains, there is always room for growth.

If your short game needs a complete overhaul, I've got you covered. We'll build solid foundations with a deeper technical understanding, then sharpen your skills by analyzing the variables at play. Together, we'll develop a versatile range of shots that allow you to answer any challenge the course throws your way.

If on the other hand you just require minor tweaks, like finding the grip that matches your release, handling those tricky uphill wet lies into the grain, or perfecting the receipe to hit your premium low spinner more frequently, I can design a custom solution tailored to your needs.

Ultimately, if you're looking for someone to help spark your creativity around the greens and craft your ultimate short game training plan, I am there to provide just that, with options that are tour proven.

The Short Game Triad

For every short game shot, there is an intricate dialogue between the lie, the landing area and the delivery. I believe that elevating the quality of this dialogue, is where short game mastery lies. Building efficacy and versatility in the execution is only one piece of the puzzle. Improving your skills will definitely expand your options, with new combinations of spin and height, or improved ground interactions to navigate different lies. You do need to have a plan to improve those skills. But it certainly can't be your only strategy for short game growth.

The quality of your lie assessment along with choosing a landing spot that is adapted to the slope and run out you're facing is vital to getting up and down consistently. Do these only 50% right — choose a spot that is too small, or that doesn't allow for spin and carry variance, and you'll end up with very little margin for error, requiring perfect execution. And we all know that when the answer is "just do this perfectly", pressure skyrockets, and the likelihood of successful execution plummets. Envisioning a shot you don't have the confidence or the skills to pull off can also spell trouble.

That's why this dialogue is about balancing what is possible, reasonable, and likely. The sweet spot lies in finding the balance between consistency, proximity and margin for error. To me the ability to balance this equation as you please is what makes the short game fascinating. Assess, choose, execute. Refining these elements with drills specifically designed to stress one or the other can only lead you to a better short game.
