I break down how many greens in regulation golfers of different handicap levels typically hit, and why having realistic benchmarks can help you focus your practice on the areas that matter most. I also dive into the importance of slowing down your breathing on the golf course and how controlling your breathing can help settle your nerves, improve decision-making, and ultimately lead to better golf shots. Finally, I discuss one of the most valuable skills in golf: the ability to take a mental reset between shots. Bad holes and poor shots happen to everyone, but the players who avoid the downhill spiral are often the ones who can reset, refocus, and move forward without carrying frustration to the next shot. If you're serious about improving your golf, this episode will give you practical strategies you can start using immediately.
