    I noticed she does the exact same thing I used to do that was really hurting my putting. To big of a back swing and having to slow the club down before contacting the ball. It was something that I never realized I was doing till a friend pointed it out to me one day on the course. I worked a lot on my putting and taking less of a back swing and it helped my pace control and accuracy immensely.

    Great video Pete, on course lessons with you would be worth the money!! Mia's driving is excellent for someone only 18 months into their golf journey. Always carry a bag of sweets or a flapjack for the back nine to keep your energy up. Also don't forget to keep hydrated as it helps with concentration. Chipping needs a little work on distance control (don't we all!) But definitely smash in some putting practice. A good routine and better distance control and you would save probably 5-6 shots on a round. It makes a big difference. Well done Mia, keep up the good work. 🏌️🏌️

    This is something I started doing just a couple of months ago. Ironically because I was in my first matchplay competition so had to putt in turn. I became aware I was draining all those 4-5ft putts.
    Since then I have gone from an average of 36 putts per round to 32 and my handicap has gone down by 3. I was just giving the course 4 shots per round.
