This week, Glen hit the road to play in his first Legends Tour Tournament at Rich River Golf Club on the Murray River. Well, to play golf and to escape the awful weather in Sydney! The Legends Tour is exclusively for PGA Golf Professionals, who have reached 50 years of age, and it is aptly named. Competing in the event at Rich River, are such Legends of Australian Golf as Terry Price, Peter Senior, Mike Harwood and Peter Fowler, to name a few.
We take this opportunity to show you how to prepare for a golf tournament, focusing on the course management and club selection strategy. All golfers should consider how they plan to play each hole, including club selection from the tee, deciding which flags to take on, to understanding the nuances of the greens.
Glen set his camera up on his golf bag, as he played his practice round at Rich River. He considers the positioning of bunkers and water hazards (penalty areas), using a rangefinder to measure distances. He is also mindful of run-out areas, slopes on greens and sucker pin placements.
Let’s see how Glen’s game stacks up against some Legends of Australian Golf!
For your convenience, we have composed a FREE PDF Training Guide, which you can download to your smartphone, tablet or pc for printing. The guide includes lesson notes, images and details of all the golfing insights included. For instant access, so you can take the Guide to the course, click here:

ABOUT AUSSIE GOLF PROS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Steve Gannon and Glen Haynes created Aussie Golf Pros to provide a learning platform for golfers of all levels. They post content regularly on social media accounts. Their website, www.aussiegolfpros.com, includes blogposts, golf coaching series and links to great programs. New content, videos and downloads are added regularly.
Golf Coaches, Not Teachers
The Aussie Golf Pros are holistic coaches in every sense of the word. Steve and Glen are both fully qualified members of the PGA of Australia and are avid students of the Sports Sciences. Together, they are certified in Advanced Golf Coaching, Golf Psychology, TPI (Body-Swing Connection), NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Personal Development and Skill Acquisition.
Steve and Glen are not ‘Method’ coaches. They recognise that there are literally 1000’s of ways to swing a golf club! Rather than try to ‘change’ your swing, their goal is to help You Be The Best Golfer You Can Be!
Skill Development vs Technical Changes
Although technique is an important factor in improving a golfer’s performance, Skill Development is largely neglected in golf coaching today. Skill is something that can be tangibly improved with proper understanding of the golf impact laws and effective practice towards improved performance.
External Focus of Attention
Most golf teaching involves an internal focus. Common suggestions might include increased hip turn, a still head or improved hand path. These are all factors of the golf swing, which many golfers and teachers consider important. However, as they are focused internally, on movements of the body, golfers find changes extremely difficult to process.
