  • 306: Stop Running from Bad Rounds
    Sep 6 2024

    It's time to stop running from your bad days and learn from them.

    First, stop being embarrassed with a bad shot, bad round, or bad stretch of golf... this game is wildly complicated no matter how good you get.

    Second, make sure you learn from every round so you don't continue to make the same mistakes over and over again. Track your stats using Arccos Golf or Decade Golf and always write down what worked / what did not in a golf journal or note in your phone.
