At some point, it’s no longer a swing problem holding you back from shooting lower scores. It’s a mindset problem. Many golfers I work with are hesitant to admit that emotional and mental hazards of their mind are, in fact, present in their game. And, if they are humble enough to admit it on their own, they often think self-talk and logic are enough to defuse the anger, frustration, tension, and inability to maintain focus that plagues their round. Sure, that may work - at a snail’s pace (if ...

Meet Luke Barton, the Business Development Director for 360IT Partners who has a sub-four handicap. Luke’s golf journey began by grabbing a bag of clubs that was left out with his neighbor’s trash.

And, just last week, Luke carded his lowest score ever - a 69 at one of his local courses in Virginia Beach. In today’s episode, we go inside the mind of Luke to learn and...

If you’ve ever readied yourself for a shot by executing your entire pre-shot routine, yet, felt that at the last moment, something was “off,” yet, hit the shot anyway… You are guilty of the anyway shot. And, this shot may be costing you as many as 6 - 10 (or more strokes) per round! In today’s episode, I detail the anyway shot: what it is, why it happens, how it effects your game, and actionable steps you can take to do it less often. I also update you on the next round of nine holes I playe...

“If you shot a 65 [on 9 holes] and I’m a much better golfer, why the f&ck would I listen to you?” If you’re here for swing technique and to discuss the various equipment options and the latest golf tech available, this isn’t the show for...

“I felt an unnecessary urgency and sense of pressure to play quick and continued to feel like the foursome behind me was breathing down my neck the entire round.” That quote is from my post-round reflection. This proved quite triggering and inevitably initiated a cascade of false urgency, anxiety, and frustration that contributed to nasty self-talk, stupid stories, and mistake after mistake on the course. In this episode, I share a raw look into my mindset and emotions during my first round o...
