Tour Studio Winter Workbook

About this course

I played on Tour for over 20 years and spent every winter trying to come out in January better than before. Every winter, I refined my process to get my game ready for the season ahead. This workbook is a lifetime of knowledge in a simple layout to help you start the new year with your game in the best shape ever. Don't waste it! What's inside The Winter Blueprint is a 33-page workbook with drills, videos and worksheets. It takes you through the whole off-season, step by step. Phase 1 – Build your baseline. Before you change anything, find out exactly where your game is by running through some tests. Review last season with whatever stats you have, from basic fairways and greens to strokes gained. Film your swing, check your equipment and find your lowest-hanging fruit. Your Blueprint. Put your whole winter on one page: your goal for the season, where your swing, short game, putting and routines stand, the time you have each week, and what to focus on first. Phase 2 – Do the work. Technique, skill and transfer to the course, built around the time you actually have. There are sample weeks for every schedule, from five minutes a night at home to five hours a week or more. Six-week reviews. Re-test your baseline at weeks 6, 12 and 18, then again at the end of the winter, so you see your progress in numbers, not feelings. Every part of your game is covered: Long game and speed training Your Fairway Finder shot – the one tee shot you can trust under pressure Approach Play – dial in your numbers and increase your arsenal of shots Wedges – build your clock system and know your 18 wedge numbers Short game and bunkers – cover every shot imaginable and test your skill level Putting – a home putting station for five minutes a night, plus the Snowman and Hell drills Course management basics – the mistakes that cost you the most shots, adjusted for your handicap, with exactly what to do instead On-course challenges to take your practice onto the course An equipment check and an optional strength and conditioning section What you'll be left with By the end of the winter you'll have learnt a lot and will have a clear plan for your game, your own numbers (gapping, dispersion, speed and wedges), a practice routine that fits your week, and a record of exactly how much you've improved. You'll go into the season knowing what to practice and how to keep your game sharp all year. Practice with purpose.
