The Roadblock That Prevents You From Building the Future You Want
I suck at golf, but I’m trying to get good at it.
My friend tried coaching me a bit over the summer. He’s been golfing since he was 7 years old.
He knows all the mechanics and he spent multiple sessions on the driving range and full rounds trying to pass them onto me — an uphill battle to say the least.
In the beginning, I’d do alright. Some of my shots would be terrible, some below average, and every once in awhile I’d hit a mediocre or even good shot.
But, as time went on during the sessions, especially when we played 18’s, my shots would get progressively worse and worse.
Usually, on the back 9, I’d be so frustrated that the things he told me before my swing would go in one ear and out the other. I couldn’t focus. There’d even be times where I’d swing and fully miss the ball.
What the hell?
See, in the beginning, I’d feel relatively optimistic. By that time, I’d forgotten about the bad rounds I played days or weeks ago. I was fresh. Hell, I even remember one game where I drove the ball about 300 yards (really good for me) on my very first swing. I wasn’t thinking too much because I didn’t have the weight of the past shots in my head.
