STRONG ROOTS.
LONG-TERM GROWTH.
Neil compares a golfer’s development to a tree: strong roots, the right conditions and resilience through different seasons. The message is to work towards a clear plan rather than trying to improve everything at once.
Use the prompts alongside your coach to identify gaps, choose priorities and build consistency over time.
Questions for your development
- Do you know what works for you in each part of the game?
- Do you have consistent pre-shot and post-shot routines?
- Is your equipment suited to you?
- Do you understand your carry distances and distance control?
- Is your practice plan balanced and purposeful?
- Are your goals clear, and are you organised around them?
