What if lowering your expectations is actually the key to playing your best golf? We often put so much pressure on ourselves to perform, to score, and to “have a good day” that it ends up doing the opposite. Looking at Rory’s performance, there’s a strong argument that being more freed up mentally allowed him to swing better, make clearer decisions, and ultimately perform at a higher level. But it wasn’t just mindset. I also talk about how preparation separates the best players in the world from everyone else. Rory didn’t just show up and hope to play well — he prepared at a level most golfers never get close to. That preparation builds confidence, reduces pressure, and allows freedom when it matters most. If you’re serious about improving your golf, this episode will challenge the way you think about both your expectations and your preparation.We thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast!🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.
