The Score Illusion
Book •
Carl Morris’s book presents a mental approach to golf centered on reducing attachment to score and outcome.
Jim Waldron cites its argument that golfers, especially in stroke play, should keep score without constantly trying to protect it.
Excessive concern about preserving a number can create stress, caution, and self-sabotage.
The alternative is to commit to the present shot and allow the total score to emerge naturally from the process.
Waldron recommends this perspective as a macro-level principle for playing more freely under pressure.
