Doug Wood is a golf instructor and the co-founder of "Wanna Be a Champion" based at the Serengeti Golf and Wildlife Estate in South Africa. He played on the Sunshine Tour in South Africa for 10 years before turning to golf instruction and coaching. Driven by a passion to teach when people could not provide the answers he sought, he has researched every golf instruction method and believes that every golfer has his/her own unique movement pattern. Doug joins "On the Mark" to share his insights and to help you turn your thoughts and ideas into "feels" that last and stand the test of pressure. Within those parameters, Doug addresses the following topics: Personal belief systems and their influence on technique, Emulating golf swings and models, Dealing with golf swing idiosyncrasies, Looking at golf swings from the "inside-out", Developing a business plan for game and golf swing improvements, Mental and physical consistency in the approach to the golf swing, and Imagery for success. In the end it boils down to two questions: "What am I supposed to do, and am I getting better?" Doug Wood helps you to answer those in the affirmative.
