Golf Instruction and Learning to Play Better Golf
Most players look for Golf Instruction in the form of swing analysis. And just to be clear, I have no issues with getting the swing looked at. Sound fundamentals are critical for anyone looking to play better golf and shoot lower scores. The problem I’ve noticed is that players focus on the swing and neglect the mind and the mental side of the game. This is like baking a cake with half the ingredients and hoping it turns out well. Not a chance!
If the players mind is not strong, the great swing will break down. The mind controls the body and therefore needs to be coached and fine tuned just like the swing. It only makes sense.
