In part 5 or our six part series of conversations with Dr. Glen Albaugh we go back to Golf Smarter #559, originally published on September 27, 2016 for an episode we called “The Truth About Playing Better Golf By Using Your Imagination”. Dr Albaugh was a regular guest on Golf Smarter yet he passed away in early 2023, at the age of 91. Sharing his lessons is a small part in how we choose to honor his memory.
In this conversation, we talk about how your can be your own “Coach of the Future” using your creative mind, taking practice swings with your eyes closed, post-shot awareness, and how we can be positively influenced by great writers (“When we play our best we see things in paragraphs, not sentences”). We also discuss the passing of The Legend, Arnold Palmer, who died just before our recording.
The full conversation is also available on GolfSmarterTV at https://youtu.be/i4d8hdrAjTg

Glen was a beloved professor and iconic figure at the University of the Pacific, visionary sports psychologist, and a beloved guest on Golf Smarter. He was also the head coach for the University golf team for more than two decades and was a mental coach and advisor for some of the great coaches including Bill Walsh and Pete Carroll as well as many PGA and LPGA Tour Players.
