Understanding the Nature of Golf Variance

The podcast episode discusses how golfers often underestimate the inherent variance in the game and struggle to accept it. Golfers tend to focus on the results and have a strong desire for control, leading to frustration and disappointment when things don't go as expected. The speaker emphasizes the importance of normalizing the dispersion of shots and understanding that your range of performance includes both good and bad shots. Accepting this reality can help golfers handle variance and maintain confidence even during challenging times.
