During my 40 years as a golf professional and coach, I’ve read many books and attended countless courses, meetings and talks on how to improve golfers’ performance, working with world-renowned golf and sports coaches.

I should say at this point – I’m not a sports psychologist. However, I’ve noticed that a lot of golfers spend a lot of time working on their swing but pay little attention to what’s going on in the mind.

For sure, the ability to strike the ball well is very important; having a “sound technique” and owning your swing will help you build confidence. But this is just one side of playing great golf. I’m sure a lot of golfers have encountered people who hit the ball fine on the range but just can’t transfer that ability to the course. If you’re one of these golfers, I’m sure you’ll find my insights a great help.
