Show Notes: Interview with Dr. Gordon Morrison - Gordon is an Irish PGA Professional and head coach at the Vestford Golf Club in Norway. AND Gordon recently completed a Ph.D in Psychology / Motor Control with a focus on Investigating the Chipping Yips! The title Gordon's Ph.D thesis is "The Golfing Yips: Developing understanding and demonstrating effectiveness of a coaching intervention for a distressing and disabling fine motor control skill dysfunction." Gordon shares why he focused on the chipping yips for his dissertation. The first two phases of his research included an extensive literature review, and conducting some interview with golfers related to the chipping yips. He discusses some of the interesting findings from this effort. Gordon next did some 3-D investigations of the movement characteristics of golfers who have the chipping yips. Based on all of his findings, he then created some "interventions" that he was able to successfully used to help golfers be able to chip with more confidence!

Dedicated to sharing useful information on professiona l club fitting, putting and short game improvement, and effective practice techniques. CHANGING GOLFER'S LIVES - ONE GOLFER AT A TIME! Show Notes: Interview with Scott Young - Wall Street Journal best selling author of "Ultralearning " - and author of the amazing new book "Get Better At Anything: 12 Maxims for Mastery." Scott discusses the two things that sparked him to write this book. He talks about See, Do, and Feedback - the core things we need to do that determine how MUCH we learn. Scott talks about two interesting learning approaches - Master Learning and Direct Instruction - and the important role that the right blend of Success and Failure play in learning. Brain Training does NOT work! - he shares many results that show the truth about brain training. He reviews the three Learning Phases - Cognitive, Associative, and Autonomous. And talks about these in the context of the chapter in the book about Tiger's Swing Changes. A major chapter of the book is about the important role of Anxiety in Learning and Mastery. Scott shares some things we know about Anxiety that can reduce our ability to learn. I talked about what I called the "Facebook - YouTube Epidemic" - and he discussed this in the context of what he calls "The Curse of Knowledge." Find A Great Coach! He ended the book with this - "But reaching for mastery and failing to grasp it is a good way to fail. For even when we can't become the best, we can still be a little better at the things that matter most to us. A little better is often enough!" Scott talks about why he ended the book with this wisdom. A wonderful additional to the knowledge base about Achieving Mastery - THANKS SCOTT!!
