I'm giving a talk tomorrow night at Bedford Golf Club on the benefits of golfers learning The Alexander Technique. I like to get people in the audience to try some very simple experiments with movement that help to get across what I'm talking about. I find this is the best way for golfers to experience something that is not that easy to get across in speech - and this is how we can be completely oblivious to things that we are doing whilst performing a task we've done thousands of times before. I find as soon as golfers learn how to focus on their movement in a way that seems simple (and many wonder why they've never done it like this before) - it can make a huge difference to their game.

If you want to try one of these simple experiments with movement - see my ultimate golf fitness test.

 
 
I often get asked how an apparently old-fashioned technique developed by an Australian actor (for goodness sake) can help today's modern sports people. Surely sports science, hi-tech gadgets and nutritional advice has the performance angle all sown up? Well of course of all this does help but I still feel something has been missed by all the researchers, coaches and books. It's something so subtle but highly influential to performance and should not be ignored. Please read more here.
 
 
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. In fact, I've found golfers take to it very well as the focus on detail is right up their street. And once they've overcome their initial scepticism they're amazed at how much difference the subtle changes bought about by lessons can have on their game.
