Stop Trying to Focus for 18 Holes

from Think Above Par | Your Mental Caddy for Golf Mindset & Performance · host Kathy Hart Wood

Ever feel like you should be able to stay focused for all 18 holes?Yeah… good luck with that.In this episode, I’m giving you permission to stop trying to focus for four straight hours like some kind of highly caffeinated golf robot. Your brain is supposed to wander. It’s human. It’s normal. It may even start thinking about dinner, the beverage cart, or why Betty won’t stop talking right before you hit.The real skill isn’t perfect focus. It’s learning how to refocus.You’ll learn why losing focus doesn’t mean something has gone wrong, how to bring your brain back to the shot in front of you, and why your pre-shot routine can become your best little reset button. We’ll also talk about what happens after a bad shot, when your focus gets stuck on the mistake and suddenly one swing turns into four holes of mental drama.Golf is not a game of perfect focus. It’s a game of repeated refocusing.So if your brain wanders off like a puppy rolling in a dead frog, don’t panic. Just bring it back to the fairway.Want help managing your golf brain on and off the course?
