Meet Your Golf Pro - Leila Harman
I think it’s important that you know your pro. Whether you are a student or someone who plays regularly and we say hello it’s always nice know a bit about your pro and their life.
Battling with YouTube Instruction
I have had many people come to me lately saying they go down the YouTube rabbit hole for their golf instruction. I’m not against it but you better know your swing and you better be aware of what is good and bad for you.
And most don't.
Playing Practice Rounds for Tournaments
In lieu of the BC Junior Amateur and the BC Amateur just being played as well as the upcoming Canadian Junior Amateur and Canadian Amateur, I thought a good topic of conversation was how to play a practice round for a tournament.
In my seven years of coaching, I have spent a lot of time thinking (probably too much time) about the proper way to play practice rounds. My conclusion is there are many ways, however, here are few aspects that you must be prepared for:
Coach Brett Saunders Heads to China
Recently I made a trip to Beijing, China to not only coach but to spend some time with a past student and good friend, Rafael Lee (Raffy). I began coaching Brazilian born Korean, Raffy in Vancouver 20 years ago when he was 10 years old and continued to coach him for the next 15 years as he competed throughout Junior, Amateur and Professional Events worldwide.
When Can a Child Learn Golf?
I am constantly being asked by friends or clients, which is a good age for a child to try out golf. A great question, that does not have a short answer!
It really does depend on the focus level of the child and age. Lessons do not have to always be about perfecting a skill and they certainly do not need to be an hour long.
