We hit a TON of very rich questions in this one. Here's the list of topics we tackle:

1. What happens physically when a player overthinks?

2. Please discuss the strategy of acceptance in golf. Can accepting the results before hitting the shot help a person play better golf?

3. Mental struggles with injuries

4. What is an area that could be taught/coached better?

5. What if negative thoughts were repackaged as opposing fans?

6. Pre-accepting two or three bad shots in a row

7. Best tips for finishing great rounds

8. Tips for adjusting expectations with life getting in the way of practicing and playing.

9. How do you accept a truly awful break that just ruins your round?

10. Practice- Most bang for your buck

11. Managing slow pace of play
