Back in the day, myself and Mike, our older brother continued on to D1 Golf. Little did we know Cam would be the best of us all. (enlarge videos for best viewing) But here’s just some cool OG videos from the garage, around the Hammer for a casual round and Mike in Men’s Club. Right around this time, Mike was 4th ranked in Canada, a 2 time NCAAD1 tournament winner and won the Junior Match Play.

Jake: What strategy/approach should I use to attack a one day qualifier where you have to go low. I feel Like my default course management decisions make sense over a multiple day tournament but maybe aren’t aggressive enough for a one day event. Cam: I’ll take a page out of my older brothers book (Mike). He was 14/16 in major qualifiers for major junior events in Ontario growing up, not a bad track record. 1. Commit fully to your pre shot routine process. This is all you can control… NOT SCORE. 2. Have a go or no go mindset. You go for pins from LW to 9iron and play to the middle from 8iron to 4iron. 3. Qualifying is not about going low, it’s about mitigating mistakes and fighting for pars to setup a scoring chance down the line. If you hit it in the trees don’t be a hero, when you miss a green fight hard to get up and down, don’t ever take any shot for granted. 4. As hard as this may seem: just play your game and set mini goals throughout the round. I would often see my older brother play 6 mini rounds in 18 holes and set small scoring goals. Set a high Goal like: -1 every 3 holes. There should be a birdie opportunity in that section or 3 holes and 2 par to bogey holes.

I have only had this happen once in all the golf I have played where mentally on the 18th I was still grinding for another birdie to try and shoot 63. I don’t know what difference was that day except I wasn’t nervous about making a mistake - I was hungry for more birdies. What is the key for anyone whether that’s breaking 100 for the first time or breaking 80, to keep pressing go? We always hear stay aggressive but I don’t think that suggestion encompasses what a player needs in those moments.

Morning, I have worked with Cam for about a year now along with my 2 boys 16 and 18. They both can’t wait to get back on range this summer. Cam has done a great job this winter fine tuning some things in my swing to improve my scoring potential. Looking forward to seeing this on the course this summer. Cam keeps things simple with minor adjustments to keep you swinging “your swing”. Looking forward to this and how it evolves.
