"Who do you need to become to shoot par?"

This is the starting point of today's episode, which features a detailed breakdown of how to deconstruct and ultimately create the golf identity you need to play to your potential.

You'll learn what an alter ego is, its role, and how you can create one to shoot better scores on the course. Plus, you'll learn the exact framework I use (and use with my clients) to help them align with the person they desire and are destined to become.

Whether you're aiming to improve your game or achieve personal milestones, this episode provides valuable insights and practical steps to help you become the golfer you aspire to be.

Tune in to learn how to reverse engineer your identity and embody the characteristics necessary for success on and off the golf course.
