Ok, this actually helped me shave major shots from my handicap...

Golf is not just a game of swings; it's a complex dance of mental and physical coordination. In this episode, we dive deep into the interplay of structured practice and performance, exploring how golfers can enhance their game by focusing inward during practice and outward while playing. I share insights from my experiences with exceptional coaches, emphasising that improvement often requires a shift in mindset.

Our discussion includes practical tips on how to approach practice sessions with intention, breaking down our swings into manageable parts, and gradually building up to full speed. We discuss the significance of visualisation and feel, drawing parallels between golf and other skills like playing guitar.

By the end of the episode, you can walk away with actionable strategies to incorporate into your practice routines

Takeaways:

1. Structured practice is essential for improvement; just hitting balls won’t lead to progress.
2. Inwardly focused practice helps retrain motor patterns, crucial for long-term golf skill enhancement.
3. Focus on exaggerating feelings during practice to better translate them into full swings.
4. Changing neural pathways takes time; slow practice is necessary to develop new habits.
