How to Know When You Played Too Much Golf


Listen Later

In this episode of Above Par, Kathy delves into the often-asked question among golf enthusiasts: 'How much golf is too much?' Starting with an anecdote from a member of The Above Par Academy, who feels she's playing too much due to back pain, the discussion broadens to physical discomfort as a clear indicator of overdoing the sport.

Kathy explores various perspectives on the concept of 'too much golf,' highlighting that it's subjective and varies from one individual to another. The conversation also covers other signs of playing excessively, such as mental exhaustion, loss of interest, and the toll of continuous competitive play. Emphasis is placed on the mental challenges of golf, including managing emotions and maintaining focus, which can lead to mental fatigue. Kathy suggests ways to avoid burnout, such as listening to one's body, taking breaks, and seeking professional help for physical pain.

If you want to create better results with your golf, level up your mental game and explore what is really holding you back on the course, get coached live in The Above Par Academy.
