Are You A Good Golfer

From time to time, I hear clients refer to other people as “good golfers,” but they don’t always apply the same label to themselves.

As a golfer who cares about maintaining a solid game, you actively stay on top of your technique. Why? Because you know how important it is to be able to deliver shots with consistent precision. But in contrast, are you taking a passive approach when it comes to your thinking? No matter who I work […]

There is a Way to be Thankful for the Hardships in Your Game

You know how powerful an attitude of gratitude can be in life. It can help you see the good in others, find solutions, transition unscathed through challenges, and lift your spirit.
