Chris Wood
5th Place 2008 Open Championship,
European Tour Player
"Since I started working with Brian in 2003 as part of the gloucestershire junior team my game has transformed through the national amateur ranks and now onto the European tour. In almost 6 years of work together we have covered many areas in my mental game and many of the things worked on were used in the Open at Royal Birkdale to be able to picture myself on the 1st tee in my first major, probably the hardest shot I have ever had to hit mentally. It turned out to be one of my best of the tournament!"

"I've worked with Brian Hemmings for many years now, and in all that time I've found Brian's insights, presentation and resourceful thinking very useful both for the team as a whole while working with the England Elite players and also for me personally. I'm sure that over a period of time Brian can help any golfer evolve to become a better competitor, and a better individual utilising his extensive knowledge of sports psychology" |

Steve Tiley
Former European Men's Team Championship Winner 2005,

"Working with Brian over the past 4 years and listening to his views on the mental side of the game, there is no doubt in my mind that the mental game is the most important thing in professional golf. Brian has a great way of making the mental game simple and easy to learn and always gives you his 100% attention" |

| New Golf Book |
"When I was preparing to make my professional debut in the SAS Masters all I could read was exactly what Justin Rose had been through in 1998. I had a nearly identical experience at The Open in 2008 at Birkdale. Reading his chapter in mental toughness for golf made me realise what Justin had realised a year or two later. What I had done prior to the Open...I knew I was a good enough player to achieve that. It wasn't just a one off. "
Chris Wood, 5th Place at Open Championship, 2008, Silver Medal Winner |
