An interesting look into one of golf’s good guys. I grew up playing golf at Banchory when Paul started as an assistant. He’s done a huge amount for golf in the NE of Scotland.

A quote from the video "hardly a day I don't hit 300-400 balls..."

 

I guess that's what it takes, what a work ethic.

I disagree. I’d love to be able to hit that many balls a day. Hell I hit around 600 balls a week while still holding a full time job as a physician. It’s not work. It’s sheer enjoyment. 🙂

Yeah, it’s a good way to cleanse the mind too. When I am (rarely) practising, it’s good to focus, and on a good day it can be quite zen like. I find fly fishing has the same effect. I might be thinking about technique or catching fish but it also helps process lots of other thoughts.

I don't hit that many balls, but I sure do enjoy when we finally "spring ahead" and I can get nine holes in after work once or twice a week. It improves my game but does much more for my mental well-being.  It flushes out my brain.
