Todd Adcock is a British PGA Accredited Golf Professional and a Scott Cowx Advanced Certified Coach. Todd turned to golf instruction after a successful playing career, highlighted by being ranked as high as 8th in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, representing England and winning the English Amateur Championship.

Todd uses a holistic approach to golf instruction and most certainly applies his expertise and experience gained as a leading amateur and tournament-winning golfer.

As a player he said he always looked for answers to problems and that bent led him to develop his "STOP Principle" for better decision-making, course management, and golf:

• S - Can I get a... Stance and Strike?
• T - What is the required... Trajectory"
• O - What are my... Options"
• P - What is the... Probability (of success)?

He elaborates on each one of the relevant decision-making questions and illustrates how they can improve course management and scoring.

He also dives into a few other game improvement concepts - (1) Finishing a Round well, (2) 1st Tee Nerves and the Opening Tee-shot, (3) Shot-shaping Windows and Club Selection, (4) Good Practice Habits, (5) Pragmatism vs. Emotionality, (6) Chasing Zeroes on a Launch Monitor, and (7) The Goldilocks Effect in Golf.
