01. Guilt, Goals, and Greens: How Off-the-Course Emotion May Be Sabotaging Your Swing (and what to do about it)
“If you shot a 65 [on 9 holes] and I’m a much better golfer, why the f&ck would I listen to you?”
If you’re here for swing technique and discussions on the latest golf equipment and tech, this isn’t the show for you.
In today’s episode, I directly answer that question, share my frustrating (putting it kindly) practice round experience and update you on my second 9 holes. You’ll meet my unexpected playing partner, Derek, and likely see a major part of yourself in how he introduced himself and talked about his golf game.
Additionally, I dive deep into an often unexplored aspect of the game that’s inhibiting your swing and ability to shoot low scores: your off-the-course emotional management.
If you struggle to separate what’s going on at work or at home from the golf course, this episode will serve as a powerful wake-up call, helping you see and understand just how these issues affect your golf mindset and performance.
For insights into improving your golf mindset and managing off-the-course emotions to enhance your golf mental game, start listening now.
