The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast

#20 [Journey to Scratch] Golf is hard, it’s time for new clubs, and quiet confidence on the course


Listen Later

In today’s episode, I’ll recap…

  • What it felt like coming back down to reality after two tough rounds
  • Navigating the emotional and physical challenges of playing 18 holes back-to-back for the first time.
  • Feeling as if I forgot how to swing a golf club
  • Setting my ego aside and finally doing what needs to be done
  • How I’m feeling after two disappointing rounds - and where I’m focused moving forward

Start listening.

Key Points:

  • Maintain a positive and curious outlook throughout the round.
  • Stick to a pre-round plan and avoid emotional decisions.
  • Progress in golf is not always linear; focus on the long-term trend.
  • Identify factors that may have influenced poor performance and learn from them.
  • Consider getting new clubs and taking lessons to improve.
  • Develop an identity on the golf course to enhance confidence and performance.

Key Quotes:

  • "Golf is hard."
  • "Progress is not always linear."
  • “What's the anomaly? Can you pinpoint any specific factors that might have influenced you not being able to play to your potential or play your A game for that particular round?”
  • “There were plenty of moments when I was frustrated, especially when I had not one, not two, but three triple bogeys in a row on that front nine I alluded to where I was out of bounds, what felt like every hole.”
