Episode Notes
Ever feel like you finally figured golf out... and then the game gets hard again?
In this episode, I explain why that's completely normal. Golf isn't a problem to solve—it's a practice. Just when you think you've arrived, the game will invite you into a new level of growth, discomfort, and learning.
You'll learn why setbacks don't mean you've gone backwards, how your brain's negativity bias can pull you off course, and the one question to ask instead of, "What's wrong with me?"
Because there is no graduation in golf—only practice.
And that's actually good news. ⛳
