My guest for this episode is Andreas Kali. Andreas is one of the elite coach’s in world golf and is world renowned for his development of junior golfers through his program in his native Denmark. An elite player himself Andreas has developed into one of the most knowledgeable coaches who is constantly enhancing his learning and skill set. His payers are well known for their aesthetically beautiful golf swings but there is a lot more to his role in shaping these players than that.

A great discussion on some club golfers’ concepts and tendencies, winter practice advice and then in the second half we get into more technique, some of the foundations of Andreas Junior Academy, plus we take a look at the work Andreas and his student, PGA tour player, Rasmus Neergaard Petersen are currently working on. Already a superstar in coaching and only getting higher in estimation and respect here is Andreas Kali… Usually I would stop the intro there but I think what is said at the end of this episode will really give you a true reflection of the driving force behind this impressive, driven and rising golf coach…

My guest for this episode is Derek Ingram. Derek is the Head Coach for Golf Canadas National Men’s amateur and Pro teams. Independent of that he is also the coach to Corey Conners, Taylor Pendrith and many other elite players and a published author. Although Derek's job takes on the road the majority of the year his role within Golf Canada and his experience of the elite amateur game gives him a unique global perspective on the game of golf from all levels.

For this episode we chat about helping club golfers improve and what are some of the stumbling blocks, we discuss winter climate challenges and indoor golf training. We chat about the grip and how its level of importance is not really reflected in the direction of online information… and lastly Derek suggests a few strategies that can help you with your on-course process, direct form his book “Sports Pysch for golf”

In the coaching section we chat about Derek's influence to this point on technique and coaching, how he uses tech like 3D to help his understanding of how his players perform their best. We discuss the work he is currently doing with Corey and Taylor and some putting content, and lastly we chat about his current project, Tour Habits, which he co founded alongside Tristian Mullaly.

I always enjoy chatting to experienced and educated coaches and sometimes you come across the trifecta of experienced, educated but still so hungry to learn and improve. Not only does Derek Ingram tick all those boxes with ease but he is also brings with it a sense of appreciation and joy which if we are all honest, this game can sometimes take from us..
