Hitting the bed after a long day. Mike Walker, my coach Pete Cowen’s assistant, came down here yesterday and we had a nice session today. I train mostly with Pete but also a lot with Mike. I think they both are great coaches!

When me and Mike train we usually brainstorm for an hour trying to understand each others views on what needs to be done in my swing. Today, the brainstorming went on for about 2,5 hours. It will probably continue tomorrow as well, but at least we got some stuff that we both agree on. 

I have a clear picture in my head of how I want my swing to look and function. Mike has a similar picture in mind but we have to go through a lot of different feelings and exercises to find the one that will improve my swing the most. When you play every day and you play tough courses like I do, you have to be comfortable with your swing. I know exactly what I want to feel in my swing so it’s really important for me and my coach to discuss that and then come up with a way to improve my swing. It’s not good if your coach just tells you something you need to change and you don’t know how that will affect your shots. The more you are involved in the changes the better it is.

Learn a lot about technique, and learn EVERYTHING about your own technique.
