JOIN THE TITLEIST GIVEAWAY HERE🎙️ Wednesday Wisdom 🎙️ This week I spoke about the power of on-course practice and how to make it more effective:Take only a half set of clubs – it forces creativity and shot-making.Work on half swings and shorter swings – these build control, tempo, and consistency.Focus on guiding your way around the course instead of just hitting full shots.Approach the game like an artist – shaping shots, managing lies, and finding solutions.The goal isn’t just to hit the ball; it’s to learn how to play golf.JOIN THE TITLEIST GIVEAWAY HERE🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.
