Key Quotes:

• "Golf is a beautiful mirror of who you are as an individual."
• "It's amazing how effortless it feels when I stop thinking and I just surrender."
• "By allowing them to perceive the act of surrender as a choice, they still feel they're in control."
• "If you can turn that thinking round earlier in the round and you can realize it earlier in the round, if you've been nasty to yourself on the second, the quicker you can trigger that, ah, that's what Matt was talking to me about."
