Play it smart, watch your game soar

Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 07/05/2025

» Good decisions on the golf course make up a good score and therefore allows you to feel good about yourself. Well thought out actions on the links will express your talents, skills, and knowledge. A good decision will silence many when you come in with a good score, and move you closer to your golfing goals. Your frustrations and anger disperse with a good decision on the golf course.

Emotional control is the golfer's true handicap

Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 30/04/2025

» During a round of golf be aware of your emotions during different stages of the 18 holes. Try to monitor your feelings and your attitude towards how you're playing and towards your playing partners. Try to practise self-awareness during your round, so that you don't allow any emotions to cloud your judgment, that might initiate negative golfing thoughts. Recognise that a bad shot or hole will naturally trigger a sense of a feeling of loss, because you've added one or more shots to your score.

Master patience or watch your golf game fall apart

Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 23/04/2025

» Anybody who has ever picked up a club and tried to make a swipe at a golf ball has quickly realised the importance of patience in the game of golf. Whilst recognising this -- you're able to monitor your feelings and understand the natural results of failing to keep calm after hitting a terrible shot. All golfers learn quickly that patience is essential if you wish to play golf reasonably well. You cannot rush patience on the golf course, rather like bringing up a baby who's totally helpless and dependent on you, patience is learnt and is a vital requisite.

Hard work is essential for great swing

Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 03/04/2025

» Most of us who've been playing for a long time picked up the basics of the game from watching carefully the swings of good players. Imitation has started many of us off in the game but this alone does not allow you to fully understand the swings inner workings. I must be honest here and say that watching only good swings will not make a good player. There is no shortcut, that I'm aware of, that will make a good player other than some hard work on the practice range. Imagining a nice-looking swing whilst hitting balls will help but we're all made differently, and as one well known player once told me 'we all have to work out what works on the course through blood, sweat and tears' so all the many movements required becomes muscle memory.

» As l edge slowly and carefully out of bed whilst discovering new twinges of pain, the reality of having to smack a little ball around a course later in the day becomes a worrying harsh reality.

How mental barriers affect a player's game

Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 06/11/2024

» The psychological area that comes with the game of golf is hugely underestimated. If you don't think hard about how your brain is working, as you are walking around the course it is important, think of all the players who used to play great yet couldn't even hit a cow's backside with a cricket bat.

Get a grip on your game!

Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 23/10/2024

» A good grip doesn't automatically mean that you'll have a good-looking swing, but it will help considerably. Many golfers struggle all their lives with grips which will never be conducive to good movements.

Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 25/09/2024

» I'm always getting questions regarding the rules, and I answer them as best l can however, as we all know -- our rules can be somewhat complicated and catching out even the world's best players. Therefore, it's interesting to see how simple & refreshingly uncomplicated they were back in the day.

Mastering the art of 'No Mistakes Swing'

Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 03/04/2024

» Golf and psychology seem to go together and many a psychiatrist has been visited by a golfer regardless of their competence. I knew of one well known player who when under intense pressure went to what he called the "no mistakes swing" which he had in his repertoire -- a simple, reliable type of swing that he could call upon when he was in contention with a few holes to go. This swing wouldn't do anything fancy and wouldn't hit the ball as far as normal, but it was a repeating swing that would put his ball somewhere in the fairway or on the green.

Like chess, it is forever challenging

Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 31/01/2024

» The term 'average golfer' is often used but sometimes l wonder, what is the average golfer. I read somewhere that statistics show that the average male golfer shoots around 92. Personally, l find this hard to believe. Playing from stringent tees and holing every putt -- most golfers won't break 100.
