Have you ever noticed how quickly the energy in your foursome can affect your golf game? One frustrated player, one bad hole, one negative mood—and suddenly everybody’s struggling. In this episode, Kathy breaks down the connection between energy, emotions, and golf performance.
You’ll learn how to recognize when your mental state is hurting your game, how to reset your energy during a round, and why confidence has less to do with your swing and more to do with the emotional state you bring to the course.
This episode is packed with practical golf mindset coaching to help you stop spiraling, protect your energy, and play with more calm, confidence, and intention—especially after a tough start.
