One of the game’s top performance coaches shows us how to build our mindset, increase our confidence, and redefine failure as opportunities to grow.
The key ideas of Golf Flow, in seven short daily lessons.
On your next round, name one purpose before the first tee and use it to guide your response after every shot.
On your next round, pick a clear target, commit to your club, and say “trust it” before swinging.
After a bogey, take one slow breath, note one useful lesson, and commit to a clear target on your next shot.
On your next round, choose your line and pace, soften your gaze, and let the stroke happen without checking your mechanics.
Before your next putt, recall the feel of a smooth, successful stroke, then commit to your chosen line and pace.
On your next round, give each putt a clear target and pace, then treat the result as feedback rather than a verdict.
Before your next round, choose a reset routine for mistakes: take one slow breath, accept the result, and commit to your next target.
