Are you born with mental toughness?
A student of mine asked me, ” are you born with mental toughness, or can you develop it.” That’s a very good question, and I put a lot of thought into since.
I think that everyone has a powerful mind and mental toughness, and I think that everyone is born with it, but only few are born with the will and dedication to make it work.

My name is Eric McInerney and I live in Natick Massachusetts. I am a golf Artisan. What does that mean? Let me tell you.
1. I would like to have the opportunity to utilize my club making, club fitting, instruction, and overall passion for helping others improve their game.
2. I studied video production and film at Mass Art in 2002.
3. I have a certificate earned through the completion of the state-of-the art clubmaking program at the famed Golf Works in Newark, Ohio in 2004.
4. I was the Assistant Director of Golf at Western Skies Golf Club in Gilbert Arizona, by providing customer service in the Golf Shop as well as giving golf lessons to club members and guests.
5. My family owns McGolf driving range in Dedham, Ma.
6. I am a master club builder.
7. I am a professional golf instructor.
8. I was a business owner of a golf retail/repair shop, and successfully grew the business’ revenues each year until I sold the business in 2006. My shop focused on club-fitting, repair, and assembly. I also was a custom club fitter for Callaway, Mizuno, Nike, and TaylorMade.
9. My father played on the Asian golf tour in the late 60’s to mid 70’s. He was playing on a mini tour in West Palm Beach Florida in 1974 working with instructor Bob Toski. At the time he was living in a camper with my mom, brother, and sister. I was born on April 13, 1974 in West Palm Beach Florida. My dad put a golf club in my hand the day I was strong enough to hold it.
10. My legal God Father is Peter Kostis, television golf commentator for CBS Sports and USA Network, is also one of the game’s most respected teachers.
11. My brother, Bill McInerney, was the head golf instructor for Wellesley College. He also works with Susan Choi who will be featured in the upcoming women’s Big Break reality golf TV show in Hawaii.
12. In 1999, on my first attempt, I passed the PAT (Players Ability Test) to become a PGA Professional.
As one of the instructors at McGolf, New England’s most respected and busiest driving ranges, I have helped thousands of golfers of various ages and skill levels improve their games. I have worked with golfers on all elements of the game, including: video swing analysis, the short game, rules, etiquette, and on-course playing lessons.
13. I Played competitive Golf fro the age of 10 and played junior golf all over the United States and in Europe. I’ve been a scratch golfer since I was 17 years old. My most memorable junior tournament was the 1991 junior orangebowl championship won by 14 year old Tiger Woods. He shot 12 under par for 4 rounds and won by 11 shots. My most memorable junior win was the 1991 New England PGA junior championship.
14. I played 4 years of high school golf and 4 years of college golf in Arizona. With my fathers connections, I was fortunate enough to work with top instructors Bob Toski, Jim Flick, and Peter Kostis.
I look forward to sharing my passion and knowledge of golf with you on this blog. Please note, while I am an expert in golf, I am a blogging newbie.
