In today’s episode, I’ll recap…

• A moment of trusting my instinct to change clubs - and it paying off big time.
• Feeling distracted, overwhelmed, and unfocused during a round.
• How getting comfortable on the course has not prepared me for my next goal - and what I will do about it.
• Finding another birdie in an otherwise tough day of scoring (I forgot to mention I shot a 98 that round).
• Making silly mistakes and skipping steps in my preparation process because I was…having too much fun?

• “But that was the kind of the extent of my conviction and confidence. Everything else got lost in uncertainty, a lack of presence throughout the round, throughout each hole and each shot.”
• “I missed some of my own practices, failed to follow through on some of my systems to help me play my best mentally, emotionally and physically.”
