Scottie and Moe: not “the” way, but their way
The idea of a self-coaching golfer exploring their own experiences runs counter to a golf culture that preaches there are right and wrong ways to swing a golf club.
A lesson in grit: a bad start didn’t finish J.J. Spaun
It’s my strong sense that acceptance is not something you execute like it was a tactic kept in your back pocket in case of an emergency.
Mystery solved: why you’re better out of the trees than from the fairway
This speaks to the brain’s amazing ability to take in millions of bits of data from the environment, adapt, self-organize and hit the shot. All unconsciously.
Feeling stuck? Listen to the stories you tell yourself about yourself
I used to think awareness was enough. That once we’re aware of the dumb things we do, well, it’s obvious that we’ll change. It makes no sense to do the same stupid nonsense over and over.
You can’t improve what you’re unaware of
Almost every golfer I know swings with some kind of “swing thought,” such as “turn this” or “shift that.” While they swing, their heads are full of mental chatter. You cannot think your way through a golf swing. It’s a recipe for bad golf.
If you’re struggling with your golf swing, Wright Balance may be the solution
Most senior golfers don’t have the flexibility and hip rotation of players on the PGA Tour, yet 90% of golf instruction is trying to get them to swing that way.
Are you paying attention? Or just thinking?
“The quality of your golf—and your life—is determined by the quality of your attention.” I’m not sure who I first heard utter this nugget of wisdom, but I have heard myself saying it a lot lately to my coaching clients.
