About this listen
In this episode, we dive into the next phase of the golf improvement journey—what happens after the big gains. Zach reflects on cutting his handicap from an 8 to a 4 in a single year, only to discover that going lower isn’t just harder—it’s a different game entirely. We unpack the illusion of linear progress, the brutal reality of plateaus, and why sustaining or advancing your game with limited time and increased life demands might require a shift in mindset. This is a brutally honest look at what it really takes to keep improving.
