4 Ways You Mentally Self-Sabotage in Golf

Kathy Wood Episode 144

In this podcast,  Kathy discusses the mental aspects of golf and how golfers can self-sabotage mentally on the course. She emphasizes the importance of continuous mental practice, regardless of the season or tournaments.  Kathy identifies four common ways golfers sabotage themselves mentally:

1. Failing to self-reflect and be aware of repeating patterns and habits.
2. Waiting for external situations to change to feel better, giving away power to circumstances.
3. Not setting intentions for the round, allowing the mind to wander.
4. Creating unnecessary mental turmoil by not preparing for certain shots or situations.

She encourages golfers to proactively address these issues and be more aware of their mental game to avoid self-sabotage. If you want assistance with your mental management on the course,   contact Kathy at KathyHartWood.com
