Seriously…How does Geoff Ogilvy do it?

We’ve all seen it.The calm demeanor. The casual, almost lazy stroll across the fairway. That smooth swing.We’ve also seen the booming 300 + yard drives, the fierce competitiveness and the mental toughness to win the US Open and a host of other big events. How does Geoff Ogilvy do it?

This week, Geoff Ogilvy is defending his title at the SBS Championship at Kapalua, Hawaii, which is the first event of the 2010 US PGA Tour season.We thought it would a good time to ask his coach Dale Lynch some questions about how Geoff has developed such an effective mental game which has brought him tremendous success on the world stage.

We also asked Dale if there is any difference between how he would train a player like Geoff Ogilvy or Aaron Baddeley, versus how he would train an amateur golfer:

Here is a recap of Geoff’s 2009 win at this tournament (the event was called the Mercedes-Benz Championship until last year):

Ready for the Masters

 Mat Goggin, Aaron Baddeley and Geoff Ogilvy have used different preparations for this year’s Masters. Geoff and Aaron both had a rest day on Monday whilst Mat took the opportunity to have a look at the famed Augusta layout in his first Masters.

Cold windy weather at Augusta on Tuesday altered Geoff and Aaron’s plans of playing 18 holes, Aaron had a light practice working technique before playing 9 holes. Geoff had a light practice working on his short game. Mat continued with his original plan of playing 18 holes as it was important for him to familiarize himself further with the course.

Geoff played 18 holes on Wednesday; Aaron practiced before and after 9 holes and Mat played 9 holes with a light practice session.

All players are in good touch and can’t wait for the gun to go off Thursday

K.J., Stewart, Aaron and Geoff are using the Huston Open as their final tune up while Mat decided on a different preparation by taking the week off to freshen up for his first assault.

Geoff and Aaron played a practice round last Monday to familiarize themselves with The Augusta layout. With the forecast for cold windy conditions on the practice days this week it was nice oppo

Mat’s road to Augusta

Mat finished #1 in Ball Striking that week further enhancing his reputation as one of the premier ball strikers on tour. Mat is playing at Bay Hill this week where he requires another solid showing in order to secure his first trip to Augusta.

Mathew Goggin who is currently 58 in the world rankings needs a solid showing over the next three weeks on The PGA Tour to force his way into The Masters. Mat is playing in this week’s Transition Championship in Florida and has events at Bay Hill and Huston to follow.

Mat has had a two week rest after competing in the WGC World Matchplay in Tucson. Here you can see Mat at our new facility at IIG at The Cliffs on Sunday tuning up his game for this week’s Transition Championship
