My guest for this episode is Michael Kennelly who is a young PGA qualified Golf Coach from Ireland. Now he may not be a name that you are familiar with but he is rapidly growing an impressive list of players many of which compete at the highest level of amateur competition in Ireland and some of whom currently are competing in D1 and D2 division college golf. 

 

For this Podcast we started with our perceptions question and Michael discusses two areas for us, firstly the short game and some great ideas on shot selection and practice and then into the long game. We move onto some advice Michael has for both elite and club players  in preparing for golf in the colder winter climate, for those who still play. We also discuss some practice and learning concepts and how player can possibly look to create some more long-term changes in their swing.

Into the coaching section and we first chat mentors and influences and the Journey Michael has taken so far in his learning process. We move nicely into his thoughts on golf swing and movement and the influence of, how he is as a person on his coaching strategies. We discuss some of the biggest learning points to date which takes into his walker cup coaching experience and lastly what skills or learning he is looking to develop as we move into 2024.
