From Mid 80's to Lifetime Low of 68 at 70 Years Old... And How He Did It Without Touching the Range

from One Round Away · host Bo and Shannon

John Norvell was stuck in the mid-to-high eighties. He'd tried YouTube, training aids, everything most golfers try. Nothing moved the needle. He was frustrated enough to stop keeping score.Then he stopped training his swing and started training the six inches between his ears.In month one — with almost zero physical practice due to graduate school — he averaged 80, including a 73. Month two his average dropped to 75. At ten weeks he shot a lifetime low 71 at age 70. Since recording, he has shot 68 at age 71.In this episode you'll hear directly from John about what changed, what the release routine did for him in the middle of that 71 round, why his language transformed completely, and what he means when he says "every shot belongs to me."You'll also hear why getting his childhood love for the game back meant more to John than any score — and what he would tell any golfer still on the fence.Bo closes by teasing what's coming next — signal lights, the internal thermostat, and the behavior shifts that break through the score ceiling holding your game back.Your ceiling may be higher than you think. Your breakthrough may be closer than you realize.Resources mentioned:Free mental game assessment → https://inthezonesecrets.com/assessmentGet the book (just pay shipping) → https://inthezonesecrets.comFree coaching call → https://inthezonesecrets.com/freecall🎧 Listen & Subscribe Apple Podcasts — Listen Here Spotify — Listen Here🧠 Free Mental Game Assessment Find out exactly what's holding your game back — takes 5 minutes and it's completely free. → https://inthezonesecrets.com/assessment📖 Get the Book In the Zone Secrets: How to Get in the Zone at the Flip of a Switch — just cover shipping and it's yours. → https://inthezonesecrets.com/👥 Join the Caveman Golf Winner's Circle Our free community for golfers who are serious about playing their best.
