Tournament Support

Performance Coaching for Ambitious Amateurs & Professional Players


Perform when it matters most

Tournament golf is different. You can practise well, strike the ball nicely, and still struggle to convert it when the scorecard is live, decisions matter, and pressure is present. Tournament Support is designed to bridge that gap helping competitive golfers perform more consistently in competition, not just practise better.

The focus is on how you prepare, how you play, and how you learn from tournaments, so each event becomes part of long term progress rather than a standalone result.



What Tournament Support Is

Tournament Support is performance coaching built around competition. It goes beyond technical work and focuses on the skills that allow players to access their ability under pressure. This includes decision making, emotional control, attention management, and tactical clarity.

Support follows a simple cycle: Prepare well → Compete with clarity → Learn effectively → Train with purpose


How We Work

1: Tactical Preparation

Every tournament starts with a clear, personalised plan based on your strengths, the course setup, expected conditions, and simple decision rules that are easy to trust under pressure.

2: Performance Skills

Support focuses on pre shot, post shot, and between shot routines, emotional regulation, attention control, and performing freely without forcing outcomes.

3: Training Transfer

Training between events is shaped by what actually happened in competition, focusing on priority skills that influence scoring and transfer under pressure.

4: Review and Learning

Post tournament reviews focus on scoring influences, decision quality, and how effectively you managed yourself throughout the round.
