510 Premium: Taking One Shot At A Time…Easy To Think. Harder To Do!
510: Jim Venetos has exposed us to a entirely new thought process on ball striking over the last few Golf Smarter Podcast episodes, and the feedback from listeners has been incredible. If you’ve been paying attention to his advice, you’re probably hitting the ball more consistently, with a draw, and probably even further. But Jim also talks about having a balanced “Mind. Body. Soul.” approach to the game. In this episode, we dig into visualization, which is what he considers the ‘soul’ aspect of the game. This is the ability to be creative, to see the shot before you hit it, and the ability to feel the shot before you hit it. We close the show with a tip that is also a video on our GolfSmarterTV channel. If you’ve been listening to Jim on the podcast, you really owe it to yourself to watch the really helpful videos that compliment the conversations.
