Why Your Brain Sabotages Your Golf Game

Ever feel like your brain turns against you on the golf course?One minute you’re standing over the ball… and the next your brain is yelling: Don’t hit it in the water. Don’t mess this up. Everyone’s watching.In this episode, I’m sharing a funny story about my husband assembling a bike rack without reading the instructions—and how golfers do the exact same thing with their brains.Here’s the truth: your brain wasn’t designed to help you shoot lower scores. It was designed to keep you alive. That means it’s constantly scanning for danger, mistakes, embarrassment, and anything that might go wrong.So if your mind goes negative on the golf course… nothing has gone wrong.You just haven’t been given the instruction manual.In this episode, I’ll walk you through why your brain works this way and how a little awareness can help you guide your thoughts instead of getting pushed around by them.Because when you understand your brain, the pressure drops—and the game gets a lot more fun. ⛳️KathyHartWood.comWant help managing your golf brain on and off the course?
