In today’s episode, I’ll recap…

  • A four-hour practice session that unlocked my next level of growth
  • The round I played the following day
  • How I’ve altered my approach to practice
  • What I’m most excited about
  • What I’m doing in 2025 to accelerate progress

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 (and off) the course, click here to schedule a coaching discovery call with me. 

Key Points:

  • Self-diagnosis and troubleshooting are key skills for golfers.
  • Understanding swing mechanics can lead to better performance.
  • Empowerment comes from knowing how to control the ball.
  • Intention in shot execution enhances performance.
  • Mirror work and slow-motion drills are effective training methods.

Key Quotes:

  • “He broke me down and where we noticed the biggest opportunity for growth, I'm not finishing swings, period. I'm still a little, know, handsy and armed, armsy, is that a word?”
  • “Sometimes it's a nasty slice. Sometimes I hooked the ball completely. I miss both directions to be frank. What Melvin helped me understand was first and foremost, how to hit a draw, a fade, a cut.”
  • “I have a mirror in my living room, I can pick up the club and do two swings in a minute or two, just whenever I find a moment. And that's going to go a long way to further helping reprogram this new swing that's going to allow me to swing with my entire body, get my hips through full rotation and make clean, consistent contact.”
