Episode notes
Why He Avoids Deep Practice
- Randy resists heavy practice partly because golf can be physically uncomfortable and partly from fear of investing effort without improvement.
- He'd work with a coach if the timing and fit were right, but he lacks a consistent voice in his game.
Pick Simple, Personal Goals
- Set attainable, personal goals like breaking par once to motivate your game without needing broader competitive ambitions.
- Seek a consistent group or home club for regular play and camaraderie if you want to stay engaged.
Favorite Recent Round
- Randy's favorite round in the last 12 months was at Royal County Down because of great course, weather, and control over his ball that day.
- He ranked that above other recent trips because he felt he was truly golfing.
