Golf Guru

Growing up in Switzerland, GG always assumed he would finish school with brilliant exam results, go on to excel at university and ultimately become a highflying executive. Which turned out to be true. Sort of. His important sounding but ultimately ill-defined career came to a crashing halt when he messed up a billion dollar deal on the golf course. A choke that cost him both his job and his handicap.

In an effort to get away from his problems, he reluctantly went hiking in the Himalayas, where he found himself at the bottom of a hemp-milk latte. He realized the only way he could truly move on would be to transcend the mental element of the game, so he set about achieving enlightenment. He shed the trappings of his privileged, consumerist lifestyle and drove his Prius to a spiritual retreat where he spent six months sleeping on a tiled floor because the room they gave him didn’t have a bed, but by the time he’d worked out that this was a mistake, he was too embarrassed to ask for one.

GG’s devotion to finding inner peace allowed him to master the art of meditation - he can now go for literally minutes without checking his phone. And in order to stay ‘at one’ with nature, he has traded in his Manhattan apartment for a Yurt, hand woven by the Selk’nam people of Patagonia. Though unorthodox, and wholly unproven, the program that he has developed for improving golfers’ mental games - a heady mix of energy channeling, yoga, and positive visualization, amongst other things – appears to be having positive results, helping some of the game’s best players to fulfil their potential.
