Control
How many of us try to control things we cannot control? Things that are not truly our responsibility? The more I talk about and discuss with players about the mental game, this is becoming one of the most important mental game topics that makes the most difference for the most people.

The Temptation to Tamper with Technique
How many of us spend our playing time trying to swing a certain way? Trying to perform that perfect motion. Only to get to a frustrated point and give up trying to be perfect and finally just play, and actually start playing the way we wanted to all along?
No? Just me? Suuuurrrrreeeee.

One Good Way to Accept Bad Shots
Hey everybody! Josh here! Ever struggle moving on from bad shots and putts? I have a pretty strong hunch your answer is yes.
Tried ways to talk yourself into moving on and forgetting about that bad shot but it didn't work? Pretty strong possibility that answer is yes too.
Try this tangible, physical way to accept shots and move on. Because the only way to hit the next shot with full commitment and trust (which is your only job after all) is to fully accept the previous shot and move on.
