In today’s episode, I’ll recap…

  • The round that could’ve been…but was still my lowest round of the year
  • The key frustrations I’m experiencing in my swing - and what’s going incredibly well
  • How fear of success manifested in my game this weekend
  • My lifelong battle with slowing down, and how it’s showing up (and costing me) on the course
  • How I’m feeling about getting new clubs…
