Based on my scores, every golf outing is a bad gold outing. I try, but I could be better. More importantly, I could be more consistent in my practice and the course. However, I have much fun playing golf with my friends and family. They respect my availability and encourage me when I do well, especially when I try.
Recently, I had an outing where I played poorly compared to my average and my handicap. It was all mental. I lacked mental focus because I did not prepare physically or mentally to play the round. I did not go to the range to hit golf balls before playing. I did not lay out my kit the night before and forgot two items I needed on the course. During the round, I was so focused on not being prepared that I did not focus on my play, my form, and the mistakes I was making.
As a coach, I preach performance and preparation every day. Yet, I should have done the same regarding the golf outing. I may have great ideas and strategies to offer others, but they are no good if I first remember to utilize them myself.
Just Be Better
