Gina believes in a harmony between swing mechanics, the mental game, and course management. All 3 work together when a golfer is at their best. As Bob Grissett often states, the golf swing is a feel, not a thought. Maintaining balance between the thinking mind and the feeling body is the goal.
Swing Technique
Technique varies from player to player. Gina understands standard swing positions, and she uses these to diagnose flaws. This is similar to a doctor diagnosing an ailment; he must have an idea of what a "normal" or a "standard" x-ray looks like in order to identify the problem (and then fix it).
Course Management
Good course management starts with understanding probabilities. It also hinges on proper shot selection and eliminating variables, placing less pressure on execution. Understanding the influence of the elements on short game and putting is important and often overlooked. Knowing one's distances and playing to their averages--not their ideals--is another common topic addressed in course management.
Mental Game
So many cite confidence as the magic bullet to success in golf (and other areas). Sometimes it takes some digging to understand a golfer's fears and locate sources of confidence, but Gina believes that confidence can be created and grown within oneself. This was a main focus of her college coaching philosophies.
