SHANES’ COACHING PHILOSOPHY
Shane believes golf is a very simple game to play when the golfer has the correct foundations in place. He believes the core fundamentals that he teaches are key to the success and pathway of his players. When fundamentals are in place it is easy to learn good routines and the other add ons are part of being a good player.
Shane wants his players to have ownership and understanding of simple low maintenance techniques. He has a passion for the short game and believes you can’t become an accomplished player until you can chip and putt. Shanes’ methods are very simple and have a great knack of making complicated things look simple. He wants his players to work on their weaknesses and turn them into strengths. He believes in routines prior to the executions of shots and a quiet mind over the ball allowing what the golfer has learned prior to express itself. These skills have allowed his players to stand out, embrace pressure and go win when the opportunity shows itself. He embraces technology saying why guess when you can measure. Shane is a big believer that data devices such as trackman and Science and motion (Samlab) are all good in moderation and won’t replace a good teacher.
One of the most valuable lessons Shane got was from his mentor and friend Eoin Mulhall was give everyone your energy and time and you will have given a great lesson.
His phllosophy has stood the test of time and has seen fads and short term trends in coaching come and go but his simple successful winning ways continue and hopefully for many years to come.
