“Nick let events control the way he though, rather than taking control of his thoughts and using them to influence events.” I’ve done this many times. Leave a putt short, smash the next one way past the hole. Hit a slice, overcompensate and pull the next drive. Then feel like I have no idea where that club is taking me the rest of the round. Allowing events to control my thoughts. Vs. Hitting a bad shot but understanding mistakes happen and my swing can produce excellent results if I am confident. Carry that with me, focus in on my routine, and get back to playing quality golf. Allowing my thoughts to influence events.

Alright let’s break this book down. 198 pages from the start of the first chapter to the end of the last (at least in my hardcover version). That’s just 6.6 pages per day! Easy peasy. There are 22 chapters, some longer than others… so easy math there shows less than 1 chapter a day. My plan is to read 7 pages per day or so… bite size chunks to really let the info sink in. Each day I’ll share what my favorite part of those pages is. I’d love for everyone who is reading it to do the same, so that we can all see different opinions and points of view. If you’re not reading the book, please still comment and engage when you want, adding to the conversations here. Cheers to learning and improving together! 🏌🏻‍♂️

Interesting take on this. I am guilty of too many swing thoughts and swing mechanic fixes while over the ball. I get very mechanical in my swing. Working on trusting the swing. Besides I forget my swing thought about a millisecond after I start my backswing 🤦‍♂️
