For 20 years, I was stuck. I practiced harder, chased swing tips, and obsessed over my score—but nothing worked. It wasn’t until I removed these 10 habits from my golf game that things finally clicked.
In this video, I’m sharing the biggest mindset and strategy shifts that helped me simplify the game, lower my scores, and (finally) enjoy golf again.
