Teague Balen (Canada) is a bright young mind in golf instruction. Formerly a member of the “Course Kings” stable of golf instructors, Balen adopts a fresh and thought-leading approach to game improvement. He joins “On the Mark” to address Golf, Golf Instruction and Technique and an important, and unaddressed topic, that of Time Management. Specifically the time spent Pre-and-Post Round, in Practice and Preparation, and importantly Between Golf Shots. He delves into the subject by elaborating and sharing insights on Thought Management and Focus, Emotional and Mental Behavior and Control, Breathing for Relaxation and Focus, and Pre-and-Post Shot Routines and Consistent Timing. Remember, the lion’s share of a round of golf is spent between shots; so learning how to manage oneself and one’s thoughts is an important element to lowering scores and better performance.
