How to make your golf practice more beneficial
A few weeks ago I was hitting some balls on the practice fairway. It was late afternoon and there wasn’t anyone else about – the perfect environment to get lost in your thoughts, explore, learn and have some fun. I don’t practice that often, but when I do I rarely hit the same shot two…
Every golfer needs to be taught bravery
Bravery needs to be taught more. And not to hit driver on every hole or to go for each shot. We need to be brave to stand up and walk our own path – to question the status quo and be prepared to do things our way. We also need the courage to walk our…
