I met up with Andrew recently when I was asked to speak at the PGA International Conference in Thailand.

We have known each other for many years and as well as golf we share a passion for the game of cricket.

Andrew was heavily influenced in his development by the legendary England wicket keeper Alan Knott.

He has always had an intense passion for learning and development and has built a very impressive reputation in Asia for being one of the most forward thinking professionals.

We had a wonderful conversation about the game but not least about the effect of our environment on our game.

Often an area that gets overlooked as we seek out more and more information about technique

• Who are you spending most of your golf time with?
• What effect are they having on you?
• Is the role of the coach being overstated?
• What do you actually DO with the information you receive?
• What does a great training environment look like?
• 150 Tour winners used or trained at Andrews facility
• What tough environments can do to enhance CREATIVITY
• What are you trying to achieve and how can your environment do to support that?
• How can you utilise your own golf course to set some new challenges?
• The long term benefits of DELIBERATE MISS
• Make your games relative to what you want to achieve
• Make sure you PERSONALISE your drills
• Does your practice session fully ENGAGE you?
• The balance between working on your strengths and weaknesses

A great conversation with a very deep thinker on the game.

Enjoy

In particular we discussed the need for a DAILY PRACTICE

• How a meditation practice done on a daily basis can make such a difference to the quality of your mind
• How to play the game from a quiet mind
• Why in a world of quick tips and fixes a daily practice is more important than ever
• How the intellect has been given too much prominence in skill development
• What to learn and understand from the great masters of martial arts
• Why the best players in the game are able to let movement emerge

As always a fascinating conversation with a really experienced coach who has worked with players at all levels of the game.

Here is a great quote from his website

"You see … before I became a golfer I was a pioneer in the executive coaching field, My experience working with professional athletes and corporate leaders revealed this truth: Feelings precede thoughts. Or, to put it differently, you can’t think positive when you feel negative."

Kent is a good golfer in his own right and he charts his own personal experiences of the game with a big following of players.

The first time we spoke it was clear that Kent and I shared many similar trains of thought.

In particular the importance of JOURNALING

We had a truly memorable conversation discussing the numerous benefits of being a regular journal taker.

It is something we have spoken about on this show and promoted heavily in the Mind Caddie app

We discussed

• The difference between THINKING about gratitude and actually FEELING it
• The ability to be playful when you are hitting your shots
• Why journaling can help us to balance out the overload of information that is coming at us in the modern world
• Why evolution got us to focus on the negative and our mistakes
• How our thinking patterns become so habitual and how journaling can help shift this
• Why BALANCE is so important from an evolutionary perspective
• Why journaling can help us to still get something out of a bad outcome day on the course
• The ability to develop spontaneous acceptance and to be able to be NEUTRAL to the variety of outcomes.
• The importance of acknowledging the GOOD shots and the good experiences
• If this was your LAST round of golf how would you want to experience it?

So much of what Kent says is based in real world experience and makes for that most elusive of qualities common sense. When you listen to him you realise just how precious this NEXT opportunity is to play the game.

Take the plunge and embark on a year of journaling and just see what it can do for your game.
