Aggressive game plan

Golf Tactics

This week saw Rory lift the claret jug in great style. This raised remarks from Tiger that Rory has a very aggressive game plan.

These days you have to be aggressive to win but it has to suit the task in hand. From a course management point of view you need to pick your battles and also know your capabilities. If you believe you have a 70% success rate at pulling the shot off then you should go for it.

Apart from that basic rule, I would always recommend using data collected from practice to help make decisions. For example what is your average footage fro the target you hit the ball from a certain yardage. Then if a flag is tucked away in a small section of the green you can make a accurate decision on weather it is worth going at the flag or playing to the center of the green.

So with that I mind, make your practice more productive and collect data when in performance mode.

What my students
say about me


I've trained people with different golf
experiences with great success

Alistair is a excellent coach, mentor and role model. He always finds a way to adopt to my needs as a player, and finds the best method to help me improve. He has been a huge help to me on and off the course over the many years we have worked together. My starting handicap with Alistair was 14 and he has taken me as low as plus 2.

When I first met Alistair I was a 26 handicap and playing much worse that that. After a period of time I was down to 20 and still on a downward trajectory. Key to this has been Alistair’s approach to learning. His style is collaborative, he breaks his learning objectives down to manageable chunks and never gives you more than a couple of things to work on. He realizes the importance of an all-round focus to golf.

If this isn’t the best coach on youtube I don’t know who is!
