In today’s episode, I’ll recap…

• Playing my first round with my new clubs (did they fix everything?).
• Playing 18 on back-to-back days (and my driver forgot to show up).
• Hitting a new low number of putts.
• Looking hard to find the (many) positives after each round.
• Where I’m spending time away from the course getting better this week.

Start listening.

Key Points:

• Consistent practice and repetition with new clubs can lead to improvements in iron play
• Struggles with the driver and three wood can impact confidence and overall performance
• Visualization and mental preparation are important aspects of the game
• Acknowledging and celebrating progress, even if it doesn't meet expectations, is crucial for motivation and commitment

Key Quotes:

• "Knuckles down, knuckles down, knuckles down."
• "The way you respond to a bad start is you come back with vengeance with another par."
• "I had one, two, three, four, five, six bogeys and one par."
• “I grinded out those bogeys. I did not hit the ball well today. I felt inept off the tee box. And when I sat down to total up my 18, I was pleasantly surprised to see a 98 and to see a 48.”
• “So there's an honest look, a lot of wins, a lot of things to work on, some highs and lows, but at the core, we're moving in the right direction. And we have more than two months, 15 plus rounds or so to shoot sub 90.”
