Description
My guest for this episode is Robbie King. Robbie is a PGA Qualified Teaching Professional at one of Scotland's leading golf resorts, The Carrick Golf Club on Loch Lomond and is quickly becoming one of the premier young golf coaches. Robbie's clients range from newcomers to the game all the way through to Touring professionals so his skills and ability  in dealing with issues of all levels is quite extensive.    In this pod we start by discussing some of the myths Robbie has encountered during his career in coaching to date, we discuss his process of assessing golf swings and how he might suggest the club golfer at home assesses their own action.    We chat a bit about improvement in your own game and perhaps starting to remove the sole gaze on technical aspects and focusing more on playing the game so how we learn or practice and some course management strategies.    IN the coaches section of the Pod we talk about Robbie’s own journey to career development, so what was the incentive to travel to events like Doctors 4 in Virginia , what or whom has been his biggest influence to date in that journey and what are some of the challenges that he has faced as he sought out information from different sources.    We chat about Robbie's involvement in skill development and on course learning and finally his goals for the future while on this educational journey.    The hidden sub conscious qualification to be on this podcast has been that I personally have been impressed with your information and feel it would be of benefit for the everyday golfer or other coaches to know. That is in a nut shell is life experience as we can only learn from what we experience however what struck me first when contemplating asking Robbie to be on the show was I knew quite little about what he teaches, what his swing philosophy or his coaching experiences. All I really knew was he had travelled over 3,500 miles from Glasgow to Virginia to spend 3 days learning information to help his players and that really was enough.. I realised very quickly when starting to chat and in this podcast how special, dedicated and talented this young coach is right now and more importantly how bright the future is for him. If you are not following along on his journey I suggest you do. I couldn’t think of anyone more perfect to launch my new series of “ The New Breed” .. Ladies and Gentleman  Robbie King
