For any golfer who wants to play great golf
Is patience the secret to breaking through?
Ever feel like you’re playing well but then you kind of get stuck on a plateau? At some point your scores get stuck around the same number? It’s happening right now and it’s pretty frustrating.
My last 5 18-hole scores in relation to my course handicap.
- +1
- -1
- -2
- E
- -1
They are not bad, in fact, I’m achieving my goal of shooting better than my course handicap. But I’m not content.
The reason is that I feel like I’m leaving a lot of shots on the table due to short game errors. I need to come up with a good plan for improving my short game.
What’s been especially frustrating has been the putting. I’m hitting most of my putts on the line I want, at the speed I want, and they are just not going in. I’m burning so many edges that it is really annoying.
I spoke with a PGA pro I know and he recommnded patience. He said that sometimes it just goes like that with the putting. But if you’re patient you can start making a couple of extra putts per round, then you start making a couple more, and your scores drop from 79 to 76 to 73, etc.
I know he’s right but it’s not easy to do.

Watching the marquee group on usopen.com, you begin to get a sense for what these players are facing. This is a stern test of golf on a scale that is hard to me imagine for me not having played any conditions like that in my life.
The rough is truly punishing, the fairways are fast and [...]

The last couple of weeks have been up and down in terms of my scores, but I have learned some very valuable lessons along the way.
In my last five rounds I have two of my best scores for the season, two of my worst, and an average round. What does that tell you? It tells [...]

Today I headed up to play Richter Park Golf Course, one of the public course gems in Danbury, Connecticut. I was unsure of what results I was going to get as this morning I decided to implement some swing changes. I also upon arrival at the course, took my 4 wood out of the bag. [...]
Asking the right questions

I was reading Fearless Golf by Dr. Gio Valiante, and in chapter 4 he talks about the questions that guide us. I’m reminded of that scene in “The Matrix” where Trinity and Neo are at the nightclub early in the movie and she says to him, “It’s the question that drives us.” In his case [...]
Gain more confidence by challenging your fears and doubts

A sure way to ruin a golf shot is to step up to it and hit without being fully committed to the shot. There are a number of reasons that can cause us to not commit to the shot.
Sometimes it’s our equipment. There’s a 4 wood in my bag that doesn’t fit my swing anymore. [...]

Like many golfers I have my library of golf books. I’ve split my library into instructional books, mental game, and other. Although this book falls into the category of other, I relate to its message because Josh’s journey through golf, in many ways, chronicles my journey.
It is amazing how golf connects to and reminds of [...]

Rory McIlroy put on an incredible performance to win The Quail Hollow Championship.
“I suppose I got into the zone, I hadn’t realized I was going in 9, 10 under. I just know I got my nose in front and I was just trying to stay there,” said McIlroy after the round. In his post [...]

I saw an amazing video today from Ted.com. Neuroanatomis Jill Bolte Taylor suffered a stroke and learned first hand the differences between the right brain and left brain when she had a massive stroke one morning. Watch this video if you have some time.
Although she never mentioned golf in her lecture, it got me thinking [...]
Be your own caddy

As I kid I learned how to play golf on a golf course with caddies. We never took the golf cart, but we usually had a couple of caddies.
The caddies were great. Not only were they super nice and friendly, they knew the course so well that you couldn’t help but play better. They kept [...]
