This episode explores why many golfers struggle to score well—not because of their swing, but because of how they think on the course. We break down the concept of “fast vs. slow thinking” and explain how most players use these mental systems in the wrong order, leading to poor decisions and unnecessary mistakes. You’ll hear real on-course examples of how emotional, instinctive decisions can derail a round, and why better players rely on more deliberate thinking before the shot. We also discuss the dangers of overthinking during execution and how it can lead to paralysis over the ball. The goal is to help you recognize your own patterns and make smarter decisions that lead to lower scores.
