More About Jody
From the earliest days as a coach, Jody has had a deep fascination with performance. His coaching journey started as a cricket coach and very early on he realised that performance is not just about having good skills and fitness.
He learned that the mind (thought and feelings) or rather lack of mind during performance is a far greater indicator of performance.
Now he partners with athletes who want to understand themselves and in doing so, design and build the lifestyle and processes that allow them to show up as their best consistently.

Key Takeaways:
Anchor Your Routine in Purpose: A morning routine becomes easy to maintain when it's meaningful. Connect your habits to your long-term goals, like improving focus or building resilience. Perfection Is the Enemy of Growth: Instead of aiming for perfection, aim for consistent improvement. Learn from your mistakes rather than fearing them. Fail Beautifully, Learn Relentlessly: View failure as feedback. Each missed shot or poor round holds valuable lessons if youâre willing to reflect. Redirect Your Focus with the W.I.N. Acronym: When distractions arise, ask yourself: "Whatâs Important Next?" This helps you stay grounded and present for your next shot. Self-Awareness Builds Confidence: Notice negative self-talk and consciously shift to neutral or positive thinking. Practicing mindfulness helps you catch and redirect unhelpful thoughts. Choose Your Experience on the Course: Decide how you want to feel during your roundâcalm, focused, or joyfulâand set the intention to create that experience, regardless of your score. Small Moments of Stillness Lead to Big Changes: Incorporate micro-moments of stillnessâlike focusing on your breath or tuning into the sound of the windâto reset your mind and stay present.Key Quotes:
"Routine becomes easier when itâs tied to something bigger than yourself." "Perfectionism breeds mediocrity. Progress is the real pursuit." "The inner game drives the outer game." "Choose the experience you want to have before you step onto the course." "Failure isnât finalâitâs feedback." "Self-awareness is like upgrading your smart bombâit improves your accuracy in life." "Neutrality in your thoughts helps you build positive momentum over time."Time Stamps:

In this raw, vulnerable solo episode, I peel back the curtain on my golf journey over the past 90 days - and letâs just say, things havenât gone quite as planned.
On December 31, 2024, I set a bold goal: drop my handicap from 22.7 to a 5 by the end of the year. Fast-forward to today, and my current handicap sits at 21.7.
Not the kind of progress I envisioned. In fact, the word that best sums up Q1 is humbled.
Between welcoming a newborn, a growing business, and mismanaged expectations, Iâll share how speed training backfired, how destructive mindset programs resurfaced, and how forcing progress only stalled it.
Youâll hear what went wrong, what Iâve learned, and the adjustments Iâm making moving into Q2.
If youâre a golfer who feels stuck, frustrated, or like your game is plateauing despite your best effort, this episode will hit home.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why my swing progress took a massive step backwardâand how Iâm fixing it How pressure, ego, and urgency sabotaged my speed training and mindset The value of consistent coaching, structured practice, and reflection A powerful mindset reframe using the inchworm and bell curve analogy How to shift from performance panic to long-term progress Why Q2 will be all about rounds under pressure, tournaments, and trustWhether you're trying to break 80 or win your club championship, this is a must-listen reminder that growth isnât always linear, and every setback is a setup for a major breakthrough.

Key Takeaways:
Progress Isn't Linear â But Persistence Pays Off: Despite only dropping one stroke in Q1, I stayed committed to the long game, using setbacks as stepping stones. The key isnât fast progress â itâs sustained effort and course correction Speed Without Structure Is Destructive: Speed training backfired when I prioritized velocity over fundamentals, leading to swing breakdowns. You must earn the right to add speed by mastering quality contact and path first. Pressure and Urgency Can Kill Progress: Unchecked pressure and the need to âhurry up and improveâ created mental chaos. Slowing down â in swing tempo and in expectations â became a critical growth edge. Your Worst Scores Tell the Truth: What separates good from great isnât how low your best is â itâs how bad your worst gets. Understanding, managing, and improving your bad rounds is what creates real transformation. Consistency Comes from Identity, Not Just Effort: Sustainable improvement comes when your actions align with your identity â how you talk to yourself, what you believe you deserve, and how you show up when no one is watching.Key Quotes:
"You can't change unless you change." "It's not about how much effort you put in â it's about putting in the right effort." "False urgency and rushing created more damage than any lack of effort ever could." "I broke my swing down chasing a number â not a skill." "Convenient practice isnât always effective practice. I chose what felt good instead of what was necessary." "Progress requires pressure. You need time under tension to grow." "Speed training without strong fundamentals is like building a house on sand."Time Stamps:

Key Takeaways:
Your subconscious controls 95% of your behavior. Most beliefs about worthiness, success, and ability were formed before age seven. Hypnosis is NOT stage hypnosis. Itâs a natural state of deep relaxation, similar to being lost in a book or in the zone on the course. Your brain is designed to change. Neuroplasticity means you can rewire your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors through hypnosis. Theta brainwaves unlock transformation. Hypnosis helps you access this state, allowing for deep mental reprogramming. Hypnosis is not mind control - itâs a natural state that allows you to reshape limiting beliefs, eliminate self-sabotage, and tap into your best golf. Hypnosis diffuses negative emotional triggers. It helps you let go of past failures and perform with confidence in high-pressure situations. Mastering your energy is key to peak performance. Emotional resilience and mental control give you a competitive edge on and off the course.Key Quotes:
"Everything you have right now is a reflection of what you believe you're worthy and capable of." "Your subconscious isnât trying to sabotage youâitâs trying to keep you safe." "Golf hypnosis helps you shift from unconscious reaction to conscious response." "Master your energy, and you master your life." "Neuroplasticity means your brain is always capable of changeâyou just need to access the right state." "Fear of success is just as real as fear of failureâyour subconscious resists the unknown."

Key Takeaways:
Golf is a Math Game: Like poker, golf is about making the highest percentage decisions over timeânot playing emotionally or aggressively. Expect the Inevitable: Bad shots will happen. If you expect them, youâll react logically instead of emotionally. Avoiding Bogeys > Chasing Birdies: The best players focus on limiting mistakes rather than hunting for low-percentage birdie opportunities. Commit Fully to Every Shot: If you donât fully commit to a target, youâre adding unnecessary variance to your game. Shape Your Driver One Way: Stop trying to hit both draws and fades off the teeâown one consistent shot shape. Lag Putting is Underrated: The biggest scoring leaks come from poor lag putting. Improve from 20-40 feet to eliminate unnecessary three-putts. Stay Emotionally Detached: The best golfers remain logical under pressure and donât let emotions dictate decisions.Key Quotes:
"Golf and poker arenât just similarâtheyâre identical." "Every decision you make is a math-based decision, whether you realize it or not." "If you expect bad shots, you wonât react emotionally when they happen." "Trying to force birdies will only lead to higher scores." "Your opponent in golf is the course, and it plays perfect game theory every time." "Winning is more fun than fun is funâplay smarter, not riskier." "The key to golf is not being greatâitâs making fewer mistakes than everyone else."Time Stamps:

You will only rise to the level of success, money, and happiness you believe you deserve.
That belief dictates how you perform under pressure, how much success you can experience, and whether you self-sabotage when youâre outside your comfort zone.
In this episode of The Scratch Golferâs Mindset Podcast, I dive deep into the power of beliefs, explaining how your internal thermostatâyour self-worthâregulates your success in golf and life.
If youâre stuck in a cycle of playing below your potential, struggling to maintain progress, or find yourself folding under tournament pressure, itâs likely because of deep-seated limiting beliefs that need to be rewired.
In this episode, youâll learn:
Why your beliefs set your limits for success How to assess where your internal thermostat is set When, how, and why your beliefs are formed The four categories of beliefs you possess and how you can find their origin Action steps you can take today to unlearn the limiting beliefs holding you backGet your pencils ready and start listening.

Key Takeaways:
Your Beliefs Set Your Limits: You wonât outperform the level of success you subconsciously believe you deserve. The Upper Limit Problem: Achieving more success than youâre used to triggers self-sabotage to bring you back to your comfort zone. Your Psychological Thermostat: Just like a homeâs temperature control, your subconscious keeps your success within a familiar range. Self-Sabotage Shows Up in Your Game: Blowing a lead, missing easy putts under pressure, or tightening up on the back nine are signs of belief-driven resistance. Your Beliefs Are Learned, Not Fixed: Most of your core beliefs about success, failure, and self-worth were formed before age seven. You Can Rewire Your Beliefs: With awareness and deliberate work, you can upgrade your belief system to match your goals. Hypnotherapy is a Powerful Tool: By accessing the subconscious, you can rapidly rewrite limiting beliefs and accelerate growth.Key Quotes:
âYou will only rise to the level of success you believe you are worthy of.â âSelf-sabotage isnât randomâitâs your subconscious keeping you in your comfort zone.â âIf you donât truly believe you can break 80, youâll always find a way to stay stuck.â âYour beliefs arenât your ownâthey were shaped by your environment long before you had a choice.â âThe subconscious mind craves predictability, even if it means repeating destructive patterns.â âThe moment you achieve success beyond your belief system, your thermostat kicks in to cool you down.â âYou can rewire your mind to support your goals, but first, you have to recognize the patterns keeping you stuck.âTime Stamps:

Key Takeaways:
Resistance is a Gift: Instead of avoiding discomfort, lean into itâit reveals where you have the opportunity to grow and free yourself. Embrace Non-Judgmental Curiosity: When mistakes happen, donât judgeâget curious. Ask yourself why and what you can learn from the moment. You Are Worthy Now: Your worth isnât tied to your score or performance. Youâre inherently worthy and capable of self-love and acceptance. Past Mistakes Donât Define You: Stop dragging history into the present. Mistakes happened, but they donât determine who you are today. Drop the Backpack of Emotional Weight: Unresolved emotions from the past weigh you down. Work to resolve and process these to free up mental energy. Language Creates Your Reality: Be mindful of how you speak to yourself. Words like "must" and "should" create pressureâreplace them with empowering language. Gratitude Fuels Resilience: A daily gratitude practice helps shift your focus from lack to abundance and provides grounding in challenging moments.Key Quotes:
"Resistance is just showing us where weâre not freeâitâs a gift." "The mind uses history to predict the futureâbut it keeps you from the present." "Weâre not chasing a resultâweâre chasing a feeling." "What happened happened and couldnât have happened any other wayâbecause it didnât." "Your worth hasnât gone anywhereâitâs always been with you." "We often seek external validation, but the love and acceptance weâre looking for is already within us." "Your words create your worldâchoose them wisely."Time Stamps:

Key Takeaways:
Emotions Are Energy in Motion: Every emotion you feel is a form of energy that moves through your body. Learning to work with this energy rather than suppress it leads to better performance and overall well-being. Unprocessed Emotions Drain Energy: When emotions arenât acknowledged or expressed, they create internal energy blocks that weigh you down and can even manifest as physical pain. Your Emotional State Affects Your Golf Game: Suppressed frustration, anger, or anxiety doesnât just disappearâit shows up in your swing, decision-making, and overall performance on the course. Energy is Neither Good nor BadâItâs How You React That Matters: Emotions themselves are neutral. Your response to them determines whether they fuel your success or hold you back. Awareness is the First Step Toward Mastery: Developing an emotional vocabulary, recognizing how emotions feel in your body, and understanding your triggers help you gain control over your energy. Slowing Down is the Shortcut to Emotional Mastery: Practicing silence, reflection, and intentional awareness allows you to regulate emotions, making you more resilient and present under pressure. Mastering Emotional Energy Leads to Peak Performance: When you control your energy, you control your mind. And when you control your mind, you control your ability to execute in golf, business, and life.Key Quotes:
âEmotions are simply energy in motion.

Key Takeaways:
Focus on What You Can Control: Let go of past mistakes and future outcomesâyour job is to hit the current shot as well as you can. Presence Over Perfection: Your pre-shot routine should anchor you in the moment without rigid repetition that leads to overthinking. Expand Your Target, Reduce Your Stress: Instead of aiming for tiny, high-pressure targets, widen your focus to reduce anxiety and stay fluid. Short Game is Key: Invest more time in improving your shots within 100 yardsâitâs the quickest way to lower your score. Fairway Bunker Practice: Practicing in fairway bunkers improves your contact and ball striking on grass significantly. Daily Confidence Deposits: Revisit your best shots and great rounds to build belief in your abilities, especially after mistakes. Let Play Be Your Teacher: Approach practice with curiosity and experimentation rather than fear of mistakes.Key Quotes:
"Your goal is to make the current shot as great as you possibly can." "Consistency is not achievableâprogress is." "Your pre-shot routine should help you flow, not control." "Hitting a bad shot doesnât mean youâre broken." "Lay your head on the pillow and replay your great holes." "The ball isnât your bullseyeâthe ground in front of it is."

Key Takeaways:
Shiny Object Syndrome Feels Productive But Sabotages Progress: Constantly chasing new techniques, equipment, or coaching creates an illusion of improvement while preventing deep skill development. The Adult Learning Model Explains Skill Development: Golfers must progress from unconscious incompetence (not knowing what they donât know) to unconscious competence (performing without thinking), which requires repetition and patience. Fear of Success Can Be a Hidden Barrier: Many golfers unconsciously sabotage their performance because they are uncomfortable with the pressure and expectations that come with playing at a higher level. Strategic Tunnel Vision is Key to Mastery: Blocking out distractions, focusing on one process, and eliminating unnecessary sources of golf advice allows skill development to take root. Frustration is a Normal Part of Progress: Skill development is non-linear, and setbacks are expected. Instead of abandoning a strategy, commit to working through challenges. Measure Progress Over Time, Not Round-to-Round: Weekly, monthly, and quarterly reflections provide a better picture of long-term improvement than focusing on one bad round or a temporary plateau. Shiny Object Syndrome is a Symptom of Impatience and Self-Doubt: Overcoming it requires commitment, patience, and a willingness to trust the process long enough for real results to show.Key Quotes:
âGolf improvement isnât about finding a magic fix. Itâs about sticking to a process long enough for the results to compound.â âThe moment frustration sets in, most golfers pivot to something new instead of staying the course.â âShiny object syndrome provides a short-term dopamine hit but leads to long-term frustration.â âWhen thereâs a gap between expectation and reality, frustration and doubt fill the space.â âIf you keep abandoning your plan, youâre never giving it a chance to actually work.â âYour subconscious mind wants safety. If rapid improvement feels unfamiliar, you might unconsciously sabotage yourself.â âCommitment to one process is the true key to unlocking consistent progress.âTime Stamps:

Key Takeaways:
Shifting Beliefs: The belief "I'm always going to struggle with my putting" held Kathy back for years. Shifting to "It's possible I could putt well today" opened the door for dramatic improvement. Awareness First: Developing self-awareness about your recurring thoughts and emotions is the first step to meaningful change on and off the course. The Power of Neutrality: Numbers on the scorecard are neutral; itâs the stories you attach to them that cause frustration or pressure. Brain Dumping for Clarity: Writing down your thoughtsâeven if just to throw them awayâcan help uncover limiting beliefs and repetitive patterns. Combatting Perfectionism: Recognizing perfectionistic tendencies allows you to bring humor and curiosity to these moments rather than judgment. Preferred Emotional States: Play your best golf by anchoring to calmness, certainty, or confidence, and redirect yourself to these states when distractions arise. Focus on Process Over Results: Detaching from the outcome and focusing on your current shot or task can free you from the pressure of perfection.Key Quotes:
"You are the thinker of your thoughts; you get to pick which ones you want to keep." "Numbers are neutral. Itâs the story you attach to them that makes them feel good or bad." "Positive affirmations donât work if your brain doesnât believe them. Start with thoughts that feel possible." "Perfectionism and people-pleasing on the course are just reflections of how you show up in life." "Your brain is like a puppy on a leashâit will wander, but you have the power to guide it back." "Playing golf shouldnât carry the weight of how you get to feel about yourself at the end of the day."Time Stamps:

Mindset Matters: Your mental approach has a direct impact on your game. Cultivate confidence and presence both on and off the course. Understand Hypnosis: Itâs a safe and effective way to access the subconscious mind and reframe limiting beliefs. Self-Image Shapes Performance: Align your beliefs, habits, and word choices with your goals to perform at your best.

"Hypnosis allows us to bypass the critical voice of our conscious mind and connect directly with the subconscious, where our beliefs, emotions, and habits reside." "Who do you need to become to achieve your goals on the course? Your habits, word choices, and beliefs shape your identity and your game." "Your subconscious wants to keep you safe, so when you step outside your comfort zone, like going low on the front nine, it may unconsciously pull you back to what feels familiar." "The rapid reset breath is a way to release tension and anchor yourself in the present moment, even after a blow-up hole." "As human beings, weâre hardwired with fears of judgment, abandonment, and rejection. These fears show up in golf when you tighten up before a shot or worry about others watching you." "Your self-image drives your behavior and performance. To improve, you need to align your beliefs with the golfer you aspire to be." "The power to accomplish anything you desire is already between your ears. And most importantly, you deserve everything you dream of achieving."Subscribe to the More Pars Than Bogeys Newsletter.

Key Takeaways:
The Importance of Process and Recovery: Golf, much like writing or any pursuit, is a game of recovery. Success is often about bouncing back from setbacks, adjusting, and continuing forward with commitment to the process. The Power of Authenticity: The greatest golfers and individuals succeed by knowing and embracing their unique identities. Staying true to yourself, your strengths, and what makes you unique is a key separator from the competition. Golf as a Reflection of Life: The challenges, emotions, and triumphs on the golf course mirror those in life, offering valuable lessons in perseverance, recovery, and growth. Lessons from the Acorn Metaphor: Like an acorn growing into a mighty oak, success requires time in the dirtâpatience, discomfort, and perseverance are essential to achieve long-term growth and fulfillment. Strategic Tunnel Vision: Focusing on what truly matters and tuning out the noise, such as social media criticism, allows golfers and individuals to perform at their best and remain aligned with their goals. Emotion and Mindset Trump Mechanics: Fixing your swing is the easy way out; true improvement comes from mastering your emotional and mental game, which has the greatest impact under pressure.Key Quotes:
"Golf is ultimately a game of failure and recovery. The key is how quickly you can bounce back, take the feedback, and keep moving forward in pursuit of your goal." "The greatest golfers are those who are unapologetically themselves. They know who they are, embrace their strengths, and stay in their lane, which becomes their superpower." "Like an acorn growing into a mighty oak, success requires time in the dirtâpatience, discomfort, and perseverance. That time in the dirt is often your biggest catalyst for growth." "Fixing your swing is the easy way out. True improvement comes from mastering your emotional and mental gameâthe part of golf that shows up when it matters most."Time Stamps:

Click here to read a past edition of The More Pars Than Bogeys Newlsetter that details how to dismantle destructive mindset programs.
Key Takeaways:
Awareness Is Key: Recognizing destructive patterns, like the compulsion to rush, is the first step toward change. Understand the Root Cause: Destructive mindset programs are learned behaviors designed to keep you safe, often formed in childhood. Reframe Your Self-Talk: Words shape thoughts, and thoughts create beliefs. Shift from negative narratives to empowering ones. Cultivate Presence: A consistent grounding practice, like meditation or breathwork, helps you stay focused and reduce anxiety. Emotions Are Neutral: Learn to observe emotions like fear and judgment without attaching to them or letting them control your actions. Slow Down to Improve: Slowing down your routine helps you commit to your shots and build confidence in your swing. Accountability Matters: Fully committing to each shot eliminates excuses and fosters a growth-oriented mindset.Key Quotes:
"Destructive mindset programs are learned, which means they can be unlearned." "Your subconscious deploys these programs to keep you safe, but they often hold you back from growth and success." "Rushing provides a false sense of urgency, protecting you from judgment but ultimately sabotaging your performance." "Slow is smooth, and smooth is strong." "When you rush, you avoid fully committing to a shot, but you also avoid taking full responsibility for the outcome." "A grounding practice off the course strengthens your ability to manage emotions during a round." "Your beliefs are the lenses through which you view the worldâand they shape your results, reality, and identity."Subscribe to the More Pars Than Bogeys Newsletter.

The mental gameâs primary goal is to reduce stress, as stress disrupts motor patterns and prevents you from swinging your best on the course. A growth mindset is critical for improving in golf; believing that improvement is possible fuels the effort needed to achieve your goals. Effective practice involves intention and structureâprioritizing deliberate, focused sessions over marathon practice that leads to burnout. Consistency in effort, even with small, incremental steps, is the foundation for long-term progress in golf and life. Managing your expectations with data-driven insights (e.g., realistic fairway hit percentages) helps avoid frustration and enhances performance. Pre- and post-shot routines, along with slowing down after mistakes, are essential tools for bouncing back from blow-up holes and staying composed. The golfer you are on the course is deeply connected to the human being you are off itâprioritizing physical, mental, and emotional well-being will elevate your performance.Key Quotes:
"The whole goal of the mental game is stress is comingâitâs going to happen. No matter how good you get, you're going to hit bad shots. The key is figuring out how to calm down and get back to your process as fast as you can." "You have to have a growth mindsetâif you donât think you can improve, you wonât. But if you believe someone else did it, then you can too." "Do different to get different. If you keep practicing the same way, going through the same motions, and expecting better results, youâll stay stuck. Challenge yourself to do what others arenât willing to do." "Your swing is already there. Itâs not going to change the day before a tournament. Sometimes the best preparation is resting, eating well, and showing up with a clear and focused mind." "Consistency beats everything. Even if itâs a mediocre practice or an okay workout, youâre still showing up. Over time, that builds belief and creates real progress." "Having the right expectations is everything. If you think youâll hit every fairway or make every putt, youâre setting yourself up for frustration. Focus on playing your best with what you have that day." "You canât separate the golfer from the human being. How you care for yourself emotionally, physically, and mentally off the course directly impacts how you perform on the course."Subscribe to the More Pars Than Bogeys Newsletter.

Process Over Outcome: Focusing on daily and weekly process goalsâsmall, actionable stepsâcreates a roadmap that keeps you consistent and aligned with your ultimate goal. Prioritize Mental and Emotional Training: Success in golf is about more than technical skills. Developing emotional resilience, mental toughness, and the ability to access your potential on demand is crucial. Goal Clarity Simplifies Decisions: Clear, well-defined goals act as a filter for decision-making, helping you focus on what truly matters while eliminating distractions. Progress Takes Time and Trust: Results often lag behind effort. Trust in your process and stay consistent, even when visible progress isnât immediate. Golf as a Reflection of Life: The game of golf mirrors life, offering opportunities to grow, confront fears, and become the best version of yourself both on and off the course.Key Quotes:
"A goal isn't just about achieving an external result; it's about becoming a better version of yourself in the process." "If what you were doing today was enough to achieve your goal, you'd already have achieved it." "Your why is the emotional fuel that will sustain you during the inevitable grind of the process." "By aligning your habits and actions with the identity of the golfer you aspire to become, you'll improve your game a hell of a lot faster and enjoy the process of becoming the best version of yourself." "The best golfers are those who can access their potential on demand, especially under pressure." "Golf and successful golf are about so much more than the swing; it's about managing emotions, staying resilient, and playing with intention." "Your goal should make you pause, feel nervous, or even afraidâit means you're pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, which is the sweet spot for growth."Subscribe to the More Pars Than Bogeys Newsletter.

Key Points:
Simplifying the short game involves managing expectations and focusing on technique. Many golfers have unrealistic expectations based on professional highlights. The yips can stem from both physical flaws and mental fears. Proper grip and setup are crucial for successful putting. Club-focused instruction aligns with how the brain learns motor skills. Slow motion practice can help identify and correct swing issues. Strategic pauses in the swing can prevent manipulation of the club. Becoming a scratch golfer requires significant time and dedication. Coaching should prioritize understanding the person behind the golfer.Key Quotes:
âI believe that the improvement you make and the goals you achieve in golf will reflect the time and effort you commit to the game.â âFocus on what you want to do as opposed to what you fear might happen.â âThe difference between a scratch golfer and others is the amount of time they spend playing and practicing the game.â âMost players have too high of expectations, thinking they should make all their putts within 10 feet or hit it close with a wedge every time. Tempering expectations reduces stress and allows you to play more freely.â âSlow-motion swings can help you identify whether youâre executing correctly. In golf, where precision matters, slowing down can make all the difference in building a repeatable and effective swing.âSubscribe to the More Pars Than Bogeys Newsletter.

Key Points:
Strategic tunnel vision is an intentional narrowing of focus. Eliminating distractions is crucial for success. Commitment to a single goal enhances performance. Cognitive overload can hinder learning and progress. Focus on one aspect of your game at a time. Your calendar reveals your true priorities. Strategic tunnel vision simplifies decision-making. Effective practice leads to accelerated results. Mastery requires repetition and focused effort. Less is more when setting goals.Key Quotes:
âStrategic tunnel vision is an intense, intentional narrowing of focus, channeling maximal awareness and energy to a common goal.â âThe difference between proficiency and mastery is repetition, repetition, repetition.â âStop consuming conflicting information. If you're working on one aspect of your game with a coach, stick to their guidance and eliminate other distractions.â âYou don't have a dozen goalsâwhat you really have is a dozen interests. True success comes from committing to just one or two priorities.âSubscribe to the More Pars Than Bogeys Newsletter.

Key Takeaways:
A growth mindset sees failure as a learning opportunity. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Many golfers struggle with misconceptions about their swing. Intentional practice is crucial for improvement. Transitioning from high scores to low scores requires focus on technique. Common struggles off the tee often stem from poor technique. Improving ball striking is key to lowering scores. It's important to structure practice sessions effectively. Learning through exaggeration helps in skill acquisition. Online coaching allows for more frequent feedback. Off-the-ball training prepares the brain for movement. Muscle memory is a myth; the brain must learn movements.Key Quotes:
âWell, I think, you know, insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.â âAs a coach myself, I see the value in coaching and I've worked with enough golfers to know that those who don't get coaching are just super confused and it doesn't take much to actually get them on the right track.â âYou don't practice enough to get that upset about playing poorly.âSubscribe to the More Pars Than Bogeys Newsletter.

Key Points:
Fatherhood has been a transformative experience for me. The results you seek are often in the work you avoid. Information consumption without action leads to stagnation. Emotional regulation is crucial for performance and personal growth. Many people confuse a lack of information with a lack of action. Beliefs formed in childhood can limit our potential. Self-sabotage often stems from deep-seated beliefs. Confronting uncomfortable emotions is necessary for growth. Taking uncomfortable action is essential for change. You already know what you need to do to improve.Key Quotes:
âThe common mistake that you are making to achieve your goals is assuming that you have a lack of information problem.â âI remind you, information alone isn't enough. You still have to do the work.â âYou listen to a podcast on the positives of self-talk, of breath work, of acceptance, of grace, of gratitude, of neutrality. And all of these are good concepts to understand, to develop proficiency in, but they're fucking surface level. Because the truth is, you know these things.âSubscribe to the More Pars Than Bogeys Newsletter.
