Simply Golf

Decades ago I’ve embarked on coaching the most simplest, amazing and joyful game. Nevertheless, undoubtedly it is also the most “challenging-oneself” mental game. Somehow, its simplicity has really trapped my total, undivided attention indeed. One needs to simply just observe closely the practicality of what is happening on the ground while playing golf. I see the game of golf as the forerunner, the purest and above all it is the most powerful mental game ever.

Als Coach ist das meine eigene Beobachtung aus jahrzehntelanger praktischer Coaching-Erfahrung vor Ort. Golf ist ein sehr individuelles und persönliches Spiel. Ich habe meine größte Mühe und Aufmerksamkeit darauf verwendet, das kurze Spiel zu trainieren, insbesondere das Putting. Denn Putten ist die Wurzel, die Essenz und das Herz des Golfsports. Das Aufrechterhalten einer echten kontinuierlichen Beständigkeit beim Putting bedeutet echte Freude und dennoch ist es die größte mentale Herausforderung eines Spielers. Anbei ein Teil meiner Arbeit im Coaching dieses einzigartigen Spiels über die Jahre hinweg.

I've coached from the lowest to the highest amateur golfer, also those on the Challenge and European Tour, preparing them for their Tour Cards. One of my Professionals on the Asian and Challenge Tour was Gary Steel, who made his Tour Card for the Asian Tour in February 1994 (actually Gary is in my profile).

Carl Watts, Challenge and European Tour Player (winning the BMW Tournament in Moscow, through that he aquired enough points for his European Tour Card. As a follow up he was in the finals against Robert Carlsen, SWE, losing on sudden death in the BMW OPEN in Munich in August 1997). For the Millenium Tournament in 2000 - Coaching the German National Amateur Team during the World Championship in Berlin (XXII. Eisenhower Trophy).

Simultaneously at that time I was coaching a handful of total beginners and a handful of Top International Amateur Players, including some of the best Players from Germany, Ireland, Austria and Denmark. 2002 - Preparing them for a professional golf career. Coaching the Men Team of Golfclub Mondsee in Austria. They improved and moved from the First League to the Premier Division, there winning the Austrian Golf Championship.

Dr. med. univ. Bianca Eder, when 17 years old I was coaching her in her preparation for the annual prestigious club championships of her Golf Club “Am Mondsee” Salzburg, Austria. I have changed her training and made her refocus with a different mental approach and attitude of herself and more so to really enjoying the game with pure self-confidence. From there within a period of some weeks she won this tournament against all the odds. Having had an average Hcp of -18 herself, playing against very low single handicap players, it was a tremendous achievement for her. That was around 2002, since then Bianca Eder has made her way to become a real successful Medical Doctor.
