In today’s episode, I’ll recap…

• How I navigated unsolicited swing advice on the range.
• Playing a new course with a new friend (who I met in a golf Facebook group) - and the events that unfolded.
• The emotion currently present within my golf game (read: I need to take my own advice on the topic of commitment).
• The importance of building a positive relationship with yourself and auditing your self-talk.

Key Points:

• Unsolicited swing advice can sometimes be incredibly valuable and lead to significant improvements in your game.
• Having a game plan, putting well, and maintaining emotional control are key factors in playing a successful round of golf.
• Positive self-talk is crucial for improving your golf game and can have a positive impact on other areas of your life as well.

Key Quotes:

• "The people I meet on the golf course may prove to be even more valuable when it comes to providing teaching lessons and learning opportunities about myself than the game of golf."
• "Having a general working understanding about this learning model, it's called the adult learning model or the conscious competency model of learning, is going to help you diffuse some of the normal feelings of frustration and impatience and help you better understand where you are in the learning journey and ultimately what you need to prioritize to accelerate improvement in your golf game."
• “There were so many times, especially coming after coming off of a par or a couple good holes. I just want to bomb it. I just want to bomb it to the green. And there were several times where I voiced that out loud.”
