Know the animal before you step inside the cage.
If you want to tame and train the animal, you need to know what you're dealing with.
Your best golf is already in there. Find out what kind of golfer you are, what shuts your game down, and what brings it out.
Golf is full of advice.
- Keep your head still
- Commit to the shot
- Stay relaxed
- Be aggressive
- Don't think technical
- Trust the process
- Grind harder
- Let go of the outcome
The problem isn't always the advice.
It's that the same advice can help one golfer and hurt another.
Pressure sharpens one player and wrecks another's rhythm.
A target fires one player up. Another needs freedom and less expectation.
Mechanics help one player improve. Another gets better by not analysing at all.
Which one turns up on the 18th?
Most golfers are one animal with a streak of another. Tap one to meet it.
Everything gets easier to filter.
Practise better
Stop copying drills that don't suit how you learn. Build practice around the conditions that bring out your best focus.
Play freer
Understand what pressure does to you, and approach the course in a way that suits your natural state.
Choose better advice
Not all good advice is good for you. Your profile shows which ideas fit your animal and which ones fight it.
Four questions. One honest first read.
Answer with what actually happens on the course, not what you'd like to happen.
