Alan Tolley has had one to one coaching with me over a 12 month period I asked him to let me know what he had got out of the coaching process. This is what he sent me … “I was already improving as a golfer when I first came to Gail having reduced my handicap from 28 to 22 thanks to an excellent golf teacher. However, as my technique began to improve I realised that if I wanted to become an even better player I still needed to deal with my mental approach to the game. Why didn't I feel confident with certain clubs? How could I prevent one bad shot from affecting the whole of my round? Why did I turn up to competitions wishing I were somewhere else? Coming to Gail for coaching was a smart move; I stopped letting the odd bad shot bother me, I started to look forward to playing competitions and, generally, began to enjoy the game more. All in all, I now have a much more positive attitude when I'm on the golf course and that is largely down to Gail and her coaching methods" Alan knocked 10 off his handicap in one season. He was a 28 handicap who came down to 18 using a combination of lessons from his Golf Pro, practise and having positive mind coaching lessons with Gail! |
“I am unsure whether the continual interruptions from fellow players are from kindness or not, but I have found these very off-putting – until today when I turned the situation around, and successfully put a stop to it! I am trying to experiment with the 7 steps which I have only briefly read to date, and so far, so good. I honestly believe that going through the 7 steps again, and ‘taking them with me’ and using them is going to be a valuable tool.” Emma ordered my e-book on-line. This is an extract from a lovely email she sent me after she had quickly read the book through once! |
“I thought Gail's talk was great, and I've been telling the other ladies all about it. We're really looking forward to becoming fantastic golfers next year!” A further series of talks are planned at Bushey Hall in 2008 Emma – Bushey Hall Golf Club, Watford. |
