Control What You Can: The Key to Golf Success

August 14, 2024 Kathy Hart Wood Episode 185

Do ever say, "I just want to play well" or "I really want to (or need to) win this match"?  Well, how do you do that?

You focus on the things that you can control and surrender to the things you cannot. In this episode, Kathy delves deep into the aspects of golf that drain mental energy and how to effectively manage them. By identifying uncontrollable factors like weather, course conditions, and other players' behaviors, she advocates for focusing on what you can control - your thoughts, emotions, and preparation. This approach, she explains, will help you play your best golf by conserving mental energy and managing the inevitable variables of the game.
