  • Stop Trying to Play Good Golf
    Aug 12 2025

    In order to play well, you have to let go of playing well.

    In order to lower your handicap, you have to let go of lowering your handicap.

    These paradoxes make for tough, disciplined behavior. But if you can dial this in then you'll be getting out of the way of your own golf improvement.
