Confessions of a Psychopath Practicer

'If it's technically perfect, there's not a situation it won't fail in'

How this one piece of advise from a coach turned Simon into a self confessed psychopath practicer for 15 years.

'The more knowledgeable I became on the golf swing, the more I understood about movements on the body, ground reaction forces… the more of a psychopath I became in practice.'

Simon Gabbitas comes on today in the first attempt at looking at Pro's practice history.

Simon is a coach at Hagley Golf Club, however has been a prolific winner in the past in county and regional PGA events.

Topics covered:

• How Simon's beliefs of practice shaped him into a Psychopath Practicer.
• Overuse of camera and his tripod.
• When Simon was playing his best it was task based, more linked with the game.
• Some of the Practice exercises he did when Simon has played his best.
