I see too many sports people who work on their strength and fitness yet don't have poise. What is poise? If you want to know check out the top players in any sport and you'll get an idea. Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, Thierry Henry (hey weren't they all in that adverts for the razor blades!), well you get the idea.

The what technique? That's the most common response I get when I say I'm a teacher of The Alexander Technique. Yet this remarkable (but very underrated) technique can do wonders for golfers.

I explained that even a very small amount of excessive tension in the neck muscles has a huge influence on coordination and movement. When he tried my technique to prevent this unecessary build up of tension he suddenly found his swing was freer and worth an extra few yards! Do you stiffen your neck? Do you know? If it's a habit you probably won't notice - read more here.

I’ve found the best way to deal with a bad day is to stop trying to make things better. Take a step back and see your game in a different light. Try these simple techniques and transform a frustrating day into a something really useful.

The simplest and by far the easiest thing you can do to improve your swing is probably one you've never considered and yet it can have a dramatic effect on your technique. What is it? Relax your jaw.
