Agreed on not taking mulligans and counting every shot. At first your score is 'higher' than your friends, but you get to see improvement almost immediately, round after round. It's an insane confidence builder.

Imaging is powerful. My son was about a 70% free throw shooter so I videotaped him shooting from an angle similar to the way it looked to him during a shot. I edited the tape to 25 consecutive made free throws. I had him watch that video at least once per day for nearly 4 months. The next year he was a 91% free throw shooter. Maybe I ought to video my drives and watch just excellent drives?

They sit and focus, then act. Use your instincts, control your impulse. Building a better game day to day, swing by swing. Visualize it. Luvya stuff man. THANX.

Nice grass, ponds, creeks, woods etc. Go have fun

@hoosiernative9668 16 күн бұрын

This is why as a casual golfer I’ve trained my mind to always start at zero after every hole. I don’t keep tracks of my strokes because there’s no reason I’m a casual golfer. And I’ve noticed that when I don’t count my strokes I manage to make birdies and pars more frequently than when I am counting my strokes. It completely helped me score lower. Now my average as a casual golfer is 82-87 and I have a lot of fun on the course even when I hit bad shots

I tested some of your theories yesterday on the front nine vs back nine. Front nine I played more ‘hero’ golf and went for some shots that were low percentage. Back nine, I played more conservative and laid up on both par 5’s to my 9I/PW distances. Results were a 44 on the front followed by a 37 on the back and missing a 15’ birdie on eighteen to shoot even par. Kept hearing your voice on the front saying, “that’s stupid. Do this instead” 😂
