Hi, my name is Anthony Procopis (AP).
This site serves three purposes:
- To help club-golfers improve their scoring and all parts of their games
- For me to put my findings out into the World. Golf has taught me a lot and I like to pass on what works
- To give away information for free and to offer premium golf-improvement courses and memberships
My Background
I played a lot as a kid (and cricket and soccer). I did a pro-traineeship in the late 90’s; was all set to pass my 3rd year when I contracted a virus which put an end to me passing that year. I kept playing into my late 20’s but Tour Golf wasn’t going to happen.
Once the pro golf idea finally died, I relaxed, played a little less and enjoyed playing competitive club-golf (practicing or playing 1-3 times/week – not 7 like earlier years!). My average score and game kept improving, and my lowest scores kept going lower over time – shooting 4’s, 5’s, 6’s and a career best 9 birdie medal-round of 7 under par.
That Personal best was while I was running my new golf site at the time: The Truth About Putting.com (TAP). The site, content and readership touched tens of thousands of club-golfers Worldwide. It was a beautiful meshing of passions: golf, growing a new digital golf business, and helping golfers improve. You can view TAP students success stories here.
Courses I offer on AP GOLF come from that site (covering all parts of the game). That site ended in Mid 2019 and AP GOLF is the new home for all the golf training courses and memberships.
The signature course is The Truth About Putting (on this site). In it I explain and demonstrate to students the vital processes that make up excellent putting under all conditions. Apart from a couple of set up fundamentals, how well you Read, Routine, React and Review will dictate how well you putt. I invite you to take the course.
Improving at Golf
Improving at golf is a delicate balancing act between improving ones technique, and, being able to switch to “playing-mode” when out on the course; “train it then trust it.”
Fortunately, putting is one of the simplest actions in all of sports. No strength or complex movements required, rather, awareness of the speed and line and a consistent routine that keeps you focused on the speed and line and making a free stroke.
Enjoy my teachings and the site and reach out and say G’day or ask any question you like.
