Why Add Video to the Audio?
Neuroscience tells us that the more meaningful and contextually relevant the message, the easier it is for you to remember and put to practical use.
Compare reading a book to watching the video. Then think about what the images add.
How much more understandable and memorable is to combine text with narration with video?
The images in the video help anchor the stories and ideas. When you are playing and practicing, they’ll provide inspiration and motivation in key moments.
It’s also fun. With 11 lessons averaging just 15-20 minutes, it’s like binge-watching your favorite TV show.
When The Clutch Golfer Formula book was published, hit Amazon’s #1 Bestseller position within 24 hours.
More importantly, it’s already helped hundreds of golfers improve their game.
But we also get that not everybody has time to read a 200+ page book.
On the other hand, nearly every golfer wants to be more consistent. The course is designed to help you craft a pre-shot routine and process that stands up in any situation.
Here’s another outtake from the book on consistency and routines:
“Routines are the heart and soul of consistent performance. You’ll see them in nearly every sport: basketball players take a set number of dribbles before a free throw; place kickers take the exact same steps back and to the side for field goals; tennis players bounce and toss the ball the same way before serving. Any movement pattern that is repeated regularly will see an improvement in consistency through the use of routines.”
The Clutch Formula takes the mystery out of knowing what you should think about, how to manage your emotions under pressure, and what it takes to release the club with confidence. Whether it is nailing a drive, sticking an approach, or draining a putt, making those pivotal shots under the gun is what fuels our passion, inspires legendary post-round stories, and creates our most memorable golf moments
This is what you’ve been missing to take your game to the next level. Break out of the snake-pit of endless swing changes, focus on your playing skills, and start playing the game you love the way you know you can.

In 1989 Dr. Albaugh traveled to Russia, with Legendary Hall of Fame 49ers coach Bill Walsh and Michael Murphy of the Esalen Institute, to study Soviet Olympic athlete training and coaching programs. Those meetings influenced the direction of American performance-based coaching paradigms from the Olympics to professional sports to colleges, high schools and youth coaching.
