25.01.2022 From Brighton Australia to the PGA tour, two swings stand out.

25.01.2022 Hey coach how do I play a plugged lie? Just use a putter it’s easy!

24.01.2022 Our golf instruction has always been ahead of the times!

24.01.2022 Are you trying to keep your left arm straight? Travis explains why it might actually be a bad idea. Coaching is back on now restrictions are lifted so book your next lesson in. https://springvalleygolfclub.gettimely.com/book

23.01.2022 8 lessons with 8 great swing changes on the last Saturday I will be coaching at Brighton. Brighton Golf Academy will be joining forces with Martin Joyce golf to form a great team at Spring Valley golf course. Stay tuned for more details! For lesson bookings in August at Spring Valley email Travis on [email protected] or call 0403341378

23.01.2022 Understanding how to add power sources to your golf swing is important in order to control distance. Travis talks through how you evolve from a putt to a chip, then a pitch and finally a full swing. Fingers crossed golf and lessons will back available from next week so we can give this a shot!

21.01.2022 A common fault we se on the lesson tee is called the stop and flip. Head professional Travis talks you though the problem and the fix!

20.01.2022 There’s no where to hide when working with 3D. 3D is a great way to get exact answers whilst also using biofeedback to help you create your own feelings rather than being told what to feel. If you would like to book a coaching session on the 3D system contact us on 0403341378 or [email protected]

20.01.2022 Online lesson time talking about grip tension. It’s been great connecting with clients all over the world during COVID and helping people improve even in lockdown. If you would like an online check up just use the below link. https://skillest.app.link/profile?u=YgYN7ZH4is2LrkEvN

19.01.2022 Without any technical/internal thoughts this player made huge improvements by just changing his intended start line. Thinking externally like in this case about the start line for the ball is a much more effective way to ingrain long term changes.

18.01.2022 Hi golfers if you live in the Marysville direction and would like some golf instruction but it’s hard to find time to make it to Melbourne, then no problem as Brighton Golf Academy is heading to Marysville for a day of coaching. See below flyer for details, both beginner and advanced programs on offer.

18.01.2022 Pain does not have to be played with. It might not be the old body that can’t handle the swing, it’s the swing you are making causing the damage. The below golfer couldn’t last 6 holes before walking off the course, few little swing changes and he can play pain free!

18.01.2022 Golf is back!!!!! Exciting times!! I will be returning to coaching from Wednesday 13th May so book your lessons in using the below link. You can also view my May coaching update which has some free tips and product of the month. https://springvalleygolfclub.gettimely.com/book... https://mailchi.mp/2cde47f32733/may-golf-coaching-update

18.01.2022 Great morning at the Callaway Golf learning centre with Brighton golf course clients. Programs included full fitting and putting lesson!

18.01.2022 It can be frustrating hitting a huge slice! Well this week these 5 golfers turned annoying slices into perfect little draws. Only takes 1/2 hr with one of our coaches to rid yourself of those frustrations. Old swing on left.

18.01.2022 Golf Presentation Night - TONIGHT! We would like to thank everyone who has already RSVP'd to the Golf Presentation Night.

17.01.2022 Even pros take golf lessons. Super proud of the work Aung has done in his first lesson, only 2 weeks in wins the last event of the year! Check out the gains in distance with the exact same club head speed, this came from improved pivot, which lead to better club delivery therefore impact dynamics were far more efficient! Book your next lesson in the below link https://springvalleygolfclub.gettimely.com/book

17.01.2022 Hey Golfers, With things slowly getting back to normal after lock down I have just released my next specialty golf clinic. This event is always popular because let’s be honest who doesn’t want to hit it further! For bookings please contact me on:... 0403341378 or [email protected] See more

17.01.2022 Today’s office is looking mighty fine! Great to get out to Marysville to coach the locals who don’t have regular access to a golf professional. Definitely worth a visit!

16.01.2022 Well unfortunately the time has come where all golf courses and coaching facilities have to close their doors. It’s for the greater good and the quicker the world gets on top of the virus the quicker we can get back to the game we love. This means all lessons and clinics are currently on hold until I’m advised we can reopen. This does not mean you have to stop learning and the below listed are a few options which might interest you.... Online Course: I currently have a great online course stop the top which you can buy for only $19. The course includes 21 instructional videos helping you get rid of the dreaded topped shot, the most frustrating shot in golf! Use the below link to access the course. I will be releasing further courses in the coming weeks. https://skillest.app.link/course Online Lesson: If you have an area at home you can film your swing, chip shot or putting stroke (or have a swing saved) then you can send it through to me using Skillest. I will then send you back a full analysis of changes you need to make, in person video to demonstrate changes and numerous drills/exercises to get you on the road to improvement. When you go to your Skillest app there is a red button down the bottom of the screen that says get lesson press that and you are on your way. As a lock down special if you buy an online lesson I will give you a free follow up analysis! $49 covers the lesson and follow up. Video tips: I already have numerous free tips located on my golf feed on Skillest or on my Facebook page Travis Harrison Golf Academy so jump on and check these out! I will continue to update these every few days. If you have a video request please send it through and I will post for everyone to learn from. Stay safe and enjoy the extra time with your loved ones. I will be back in touch with updates on reopening. Happy hibernation and at home golfing! Travis

15.01.2022 Golf Tips and Wine Sips! As golf enthusiasts many of us not only like great golf information but enjoy discussing this over a tasty glass of wine.

You will be sent 3 delicious wines to run through on the night with Kingsley giving all the in depth knowledge about the variety. Then after each wine I will be providing tips, swing information and answering questions about golf improvement. Finer Details: Date: Friday 16th October Time: 7pm running for a bit over an hour For bookings please email [email protected]

14.01.2022 Love when I client comes in having won a free lesson and says I’m too old to change, my body’s shot and I’m thinking about giving the game away. Challenge accepted! 30min later, 7 iron goes 30m further, driver 50m further! Client: I can’t wait to play and can I see you again next week... Happy Days!

12.01.2022 This video talks about creating a practice environment to implement change. Stop searching for a feeling, first creative the feeling using a drill, then segment the movement without the drill and last of all commit to the movement as one motion. Rinse and repeat!

12.01.2022 So many golfers search for the perfect technique but neglect training themselves to become more skilful. The below video talks about how to become more skilful, more of an athlete rather than a robot! Becoming more skilful! https://skillest.co//1594864306_i_E719EB8E-95F9-4EC4-AF3A-

09.01.2022 Sometimes it’s not always about swinging the club faster! This golfer gained 60m by becoming more efficient. We changed angle of attach by having a better body position at impact, bang results were immediate.

07.01.2022 Perfect putting part 1

07.01.2022 Sometimes the visual faults are not the root of the problem! Once this golfer understood how to turn his visual fault disappeared, his mates will tell him how much better the path is but he now knows it’s how he rotated that matters.

06.01.2022 Having a solid backswing position is super important for consistency and power! Here is a couple of this weeks pivot changes, old on left. Book your session in on 95921388

05.01.2022 A slice can develop for many reasons which means different solutions need to be put on what seems like the same problem.

The 5th photo shows the gains in shape and distance (golfer 2 pivot, 20m) which take less than an hour! Book in your next lesson and find the real reason behind your slice!

01.01.2022 Golf lesson are actually not that scary. Visually there might be a few things that look wrong on first glance, but changing one thing can have a flow on effect and fix others! In this case fixing the pivot changed the path. Fades became draws and diggy chunks became nice shallow divots.
