The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast

#36 [Journey to Scratch] Bogey Golf, Slowing Down, and Addressing Work to be Done Away from the Course


Listen Later

In today’s episode, I’ll recap…

  • An on-par round, yet, feeling dissatisfied.
  • A productive lesson that helped a few aspects of my swing finally click into a place of consistency.
  • The priority and work I’m focused on away from the course to help me play to my potential.
  • The construction of my at-home practice domain (finally) and how I plan to use it moving forward.
  • My upcoming opportunities to break 90 before November 13.

Start listening.

Also, here's a heads-up: I updated my Instagram tag to @thegolfhypnotherapist

P.S. If you’re interested in learning more about how mindset coaching and hypnotherapy can help you get unstuck from the proverbial bunker of poor performance on the course and in your business, click here to schedule a coaching discovery call with me. 

Key Points:

  • Confidence is key in golf performance.
  • Mental strategies can significantly impact your game.
  • Breath work helps in maintaining focus on the course.
  • Physical preparation is crucial for consistent performance.
  • Quality practice is more important than quantity.
  • Coaching can provide valuable insights and adjustments.
  • Understanding your body alignment is essential for better shots.
  • Emotional management is part of the game.
  • Set warmup routines can enhance performance.
  • There are always opportunities for improvement, even in the off-season.

Key Quotes:

  • “If I'm being candid, when I moved to chipping and putting, there was a lack of a plan. And as I'm saying this out loud, I know it's silly, it's foolish. I need to do a better job cultivating my set warmup routine on and around the green.”
  • “I've really focused on allowing my mind to naturally drift during some of these breath holds and having an anchor to come back to, to ground me in the present moment. And the goal here is to allow this to become a transferable skill to the golf course as well.”
  • “Knowing these rounds are going to likely be a little bit longer. There's a creation of so much more downtime, opportunity for distraction.”
  • “I was quite disappointed with the 45.”
