Training

Strategy

The closer you get to the hole, the smaller the target becomes. With a driver, the fairway is the target. On the approach shot, the green is the target. On the first putt (a distance putt), the target is a 1-meter zone around the hole. On the final short putt, the target is the hole itself — just 10.8 cm in diameter.

That means: the closer you get to the hole, the more important that shot is for your score. The short game (putting, chipping, pitching) is responsible for approximately 75 % of the score. However, most amateurs train exactly the opposite — often using the driving range and focusing only on the driver (the long game).

Train with B.A.M. (Backwards Approach Method)

1. Putting
a) short putts
b) then longer putts

2. Chipping
3. Pitching

4. Long game

This way your training becomes focus- and goal-oriented, aimed at achieving a low score.

Be target-focused instead of swing-focused!

What Makes Good Training — These 3 Things

Know what to practice!
Our teaching is based on the golf system of Peter Croker, who breaks down the golf swing systematically into individual elements — and we teach this method to you.
Know the order.
It’s not enough to know the elements — you must also know in which sequence the different movements should be practiced. The Croker system gives us exactly that sequence.
Repetitions.
Once you know what to practice and in which order, it’s about repetition: practice, practice and practice again.

Emotions Shape Our (Golfer’s) Life

Negative emotions limit performance — positive emotions can significantly enhance it.

The more automatized and routine a function becomes (for example through drills), the easier it becomes for our brain. Emotions help us store experiences more deeply in memory. That means with the S-T-E-P method you can learn and internalize better.

How strongly stress (e.g. fear before the first tee shot) affects you depends heavily on whether you experience the situation as controllable or uncontrollable.

Even small successes in training — like mastering a chip or a putt — evoke positive emotions. That’s another reason to start training with putts and chips: you get quick wins, boost motivation, and build confidence.

Emotional Self-Management

Emotional self-management is a fundamental skill for self-control. The simplest way to regulate emotions is distraction — in golf, that means sticking to a routine.

Negative emotions (e.g. fear) often come with limiting beliefs (e.g. “I can’t make that first shot”). As a golfer, you can overcome them by transforming the negative images associated with those emotions into positive, motivating ones.
