“They would be far better off, forgetting about their swing mechanics, thinking about appropriate targets and strategy and making up their mind that they will shoot the best score possible with the swing they brought to the course that day.” I feel like this is especially true for amateurs and high handicappers. As much as we may want to think we know what we’re doing wrong… we probably don’t. Trying to make adjustments on the fly will likely only make things worse. Before long we are so confused that we literally have no idea how to hit the ball anymore. Falling back on the practice you’ve put in, doing your best with what you have is probably a much better strategy.

Alright let’s break this book down. 198 pages from the start of the first chapter to the end of the last (at least in my hardcover version). That’s just 6.6 pages per day! Easy peasy. There are 22 chapters, some longer than others… so easy math there shows less than 1 chapter a day. My plan is to read 7 pages per day or so… bite size chunks to really let the info sink in. Each day I’ll share what my favorite part of those pages is. I’d love for everyone who is reading it to do the same, so that we can all see different opinions and points of view. If you’re not reading the book, please still comment and engage when you want, adding to the conversations here. Cheers to learning and improving together! 🏌🏻‍♂️

“Nick let events control the way he though, rather than taking control of his thoughts and using them to influence events.” I’ve done this many times. Leave a putt short, smash the next one way past the hole. Hit a slice, overcompensate and pull the next drive. Then feel like I have no idea where that club is taking me the rest of the round. Allowing events to control my thoughts. Vs. Hitting a bad shot but understanding mistakes happen and my swing can produce excellent results if I am confident. Carry that with me, focus in on my routine, and get back to playing quality golf. Allowing my thoughts to influence events.

Welcome to the group! Can’t wait to kick this thing off. We will announce our first book, which we will read in September, here in the next week or so. Introduce yourself on this post by commenting your favorite golf course and your lowest score! ⛳️ Cheers 🤙🏻
