How a Mental Coach Thinks Before, During, and After a Tournament
I played a golf tournament and documented my thoughts as I went through the week. I felt like I would want to be able to reference back to how I was thinking, and that it could possibly help somebody with how they should think before, during, and after an important round, or any round for that matter.

What to Think if You’re Nervous on the 1st Tee | Golf Thoughts Ep 3
This is mostly just a guess, but I'm willing to bet that 95% of golfers are nervous on their first tee shot. What could go wrong, how is today going to go, am I going to get off to a good start, will today be my best round or my worst round, I've gotta show my playing partners I'm not terrible.
All of these thoughts will lead to nervousness on the first tee. So... what should we think instead?
