Tips to Upgrade Your Training
Success comes down to how well you train — and how consistently you follow a plan.
Use these tips to ensure every practice session brings you closer to your best game.
Be consistent with your training and drills. Repetition is key. Ten minutes every day for a year is better than three hours in one day followed by five days of doing nothing.
Set challenges for yourself, track them daily, and you’ll find strong motivation to keep improving.
Choose a difficulty level that offers a fair challenge — something achievable, but requiring effort and focus. If it’s too easy or too hard, you’ll lose interest.
Adjust your training time based on your game, using stats from tournaments. This will help make your sessions highly specific and productive.
The time you've dedicated to training is sacred — more important than any tournament. Your competitive performance reflects the quality of your practice. If your focus is weak during training, don’t expect it to be strong under tournament pressure.
Don’t let anyone distract you or waste your practice time — time you’ll never get back. Especially avoid people who lower your confidence or make you feel inadequate.
Train with players who share your goals and values. If they’re more advanced than you, even better — you’ll grow faster.
Surround yourself with people who have already achieved the goals you’re aiming for. They know what it takes and often provide positive energy and motivation.
Negative, critical people rarely achieve much. Their mindset holds them back, and they often project their frustration onto those with big ambitions. Keep your training space free from that energy — golf is tough enough on its own.
Read books on technique, biographies of great players, and the history of golf. Also, explore other sports. Your edge will come from your knowledge. The more you learn, the further you’ll separate from the competition.
Tournament results do not define who you are or how far you can go. They simply reflect your current knowledge and the quality of training you’ve done so far.
If you’re not satisfied with your results, it means it’s time to learn more and train better. There’s no other secret.If your goal is to be among the world’s top 100, you must treat your training, knowledge, equipment, work ethic, and inner circle as the most important aspects of your life. Tournament results should be secondary — just tests to show where you stand and what needs improving.
If you make tournament results the most important thing and neglect training quality, equipment, and learning, you’ll never reach your full potential. You’d be deceiving yourself.
And above all, enjoy the learning process — even during the tough moments when nothing seems to work. Trust in your work.
Great players aren’t just born — they’re built through discipline, smart training, and a relentless commitment to growth. Start today, stay consistent, and let your work speak for itself on the course.
