Better Golf Academy: Strategy to Awesome Golf

Hey so today, I want to talk about something I’ve been debating in my head for a long time. It’s a simple question of should I walk or should I ride while playing golf? And of course, sometimes the choices are already made for you right?...some courses don’t offer an option to walk due to speed of play, or even due to some severe hills or long distances between holes...I totally get that. But, I am talking about the courses that we often play that offers both walking and riding and it’s a good fit for both.

What do you do? Do you walk? Or do you ride? And this is a BETTER Golf Academy podcast, so we are going to talk about which option helps us to play BETTER...right? And what is the WHY behind it.

Also, find out about what this new coach did to take an underwhelming team of cyclists and made them world-famous!

Secret Sauce to Awesome Practice

In this episode of the Better Golf Academy, I talk about the 3 elements of practice that help explain what happens in our brain when we do it correctly to maximize our potential to truly improve. This is inspired by the book "Talent Code" by Dan Coyle as he speaks about the formation of Myelin around our neural pathways and how that changes everything!!

So what is practice? It’s a repetition of an action with a goal of improvement. And with the repetition, it will help us perform with more ease, speed, accuracy, and confidence. The practice is something we do over and over and over again until we feel like we have a pretty good feel for it and the outcome of this very practice is producing similar or even exact results each time.

It's also good to know that talent can be achieved by making it, not being born with it. This gives us all of us hope! Let's do this.

Managing Your Expectations

I was watching a TedTalk the other day given by an entrepreneur and economist named Nat Ware. He’s a Rhodes Scholar based at Oxford University whose research focuses on social impact, poverty alleviation and the economics of happiness. And so...he seems really smart and has done a lot of research on this subject so I decided to listen.

And, as soon as I started listening, what intrigued me was his very first opening line. He said this...He said...”I remember being shocked the first time I went to Africa. I was shocked when I met a one-legged taxi driver in Kenya. I was shocked when I met Sonia an orphan schoolgirl in Rwanda. And I was shocked when I met a disabled subsistence farmer in Mozambique. What shocked me wasn’t their poverty, but their happiness.

So, what does this have to do with golf? There's a key lesson here about EXPECTATIONS that will blow you away.
