Summary
This week on the Your Golf Performance Podcast, I’m joined by Doug Lawrie, one of Canada’s leading high-performance golf coaches and the 2022 Canadian PGA Coach of the Year. Doug has helped develop elite junior golfers through his work at Focus Golf Group and has spent years building systems that help players maximise their potential both on and off the golf course.

We also discuss: The role parents play in creating a healthy development environment How much practice juniors should really be doing Technical coaching vs performance training The importance of athleticism, mindset, and tournament preparation How to build a long-term roadmap for success in golf Whether you’re a parent, coach, or junior golfer chasing improvement, this episode is packed with practical insights from one of the best minds in player development.
