Slow Play

Be quick, but don't hurry. ~ John Wooden

Slow Play

The golfing community has been very active in talking about “slow play” the last few weeks. Lots of suggestions and opinions on how to solve it going forward.

Golf is not a reactionary sport like basketball, football, tennis, or soccer. In golf, the ball is sitting there waiting for you to take action! Players have a tendency to take more and more time to prepare with the expansion of data options available before a shot.

This topic has been important for us for a few decades. We know that many players will speed up if penalties are involved in one way or another.

For us, the best solution is to take it one step further. We want to support players to fine-tune their Think Box and Play Box towards better and more efficient golf.

We don’t know anyone who wants to be slow, but they don’t know how to do this differently and play as well or better.

So many younger competitive players get a habit of doing very elaborate preparations, and then it’s hard for them to break this habit.

Last week we created this PDF on Pace of Play and how you can explore and learn to have a better and more efficient routine. Check it out and please share with anyone who might benefit from it. >> Download PDF

Start by having someone time your routines.

>> How long is your Think Box and Play Box routine for full shots, short game, and putting?

Performance Skills Training Books

We have published four training books to help you explore and train the necessary skills to complement your technique and enhance your performance and enjoyment of the game.

Three are part of our Performance Skills Series, including our newest addition, Between Shots. It joins Signature Swing and Performance Routine. All three are packed with learning and exercises to explore to find what works best for you.

The fourth book, Human Skills Playbook, is full of our best exercises intended to increase your awareness and competence of each non-technical skill, or the Human Skills of the Game.

All four are available on both >> Amazon and >> Barnes & Noble

Coming this Spring!

>> We’ll soon be adding Between Shots to our self-paced, digital training option, Performance Skills Training, with downloads, videos, and audios to complement the learning.

>> We’ll also be publishing the fourth training book in the Performance Skills Series focused on what to DO before and after playing.
