This episode’s guest is Stuart Morgan who works with many Tour Players and indeed elite amateurs around the globe in helping them improve their results. Some might label that a performance coach but to be percise Stuarts skills revolve around practicing and the learning side of the equation and in working with the players to get to know them more personally and to analyse their current practice and play patterns to see where improvement can be had so essentially looking at the how of improvement rather than the what.    In this episode we free wheel somewhat but still have the usual stops along the way in trying to get some information to help all listeners whether club player or coach.. We discuss the club golfers practice efficiency but more from a time perspective and looking over a longer time zone.  We chat about assessing where you are at first and making a plan to take the next step to improvement and not try to jump straight to step 12.  There is some discussion on segmented practice and how perhaps attempting a more conjoined learning session could possibly be more beneficial as opposed to wishful transference. For the coaches I really believe all the information applies as we mix in coaching references form the start. We chat about Stuarts outside influences from other sports realms and some of the insights other sports coaches gave him.  We look at tech development and AI as it becomes more prevalent and discuss the good and the bad and how coaches should evaluate and research the origin of any new tech before implementing it.. There is the topic of age and expectation of relative improvement and how the time versus change parameter really influences that process.    As I mention in the Podcast Stuart is a person whose name started coming up repeatedly in conversations with very smart people. I believe we share a similar quality in being hungry for the exploration and discovery of ways to help our players more while being ok with the process of both being wrong and learning and being right and learning more. I believe golf coaching is beginning to evolve in larger context with coaches looking to more that golf swing to help their players. For some that search can be daunting in a way that we are fearful that what we find might somehow invalidate all we have held true for so long,,,, for others like Stuart I feel he embraces the journey, the discovery, the learning and that at least in my book truly defines what you should search for in a golf guide to help your game..    Ladies and Gentleman
