Basics Mental Strength Training is rooted in Coach McGannon’s 5 years as a playing professional, based in Pinehurst, North Carolina.   As this 1:18 swing video illustrates, Coach at 6’9″ and with not much playing experience beyond college golf in New Hampshire, his technique is good but not great.  The only way he was able to compete as well as he did (and still does, see results below) is he understands how to think BEFORE, DURING and AFTER the COMPETITION.
