I Hired a Mental Golf Coach - and Immediately Dropped My Handicap

Does mental coaching actually help you play better golf? Psychology can be a major factor in our on-course performance - for better and worse - and is something that I often struggle with during my rounds. To help address this I’ve been working with Laura Scott, a mental performance coach who specialises in golf. In this, our first in-person session, we look at self-talk, pre- and post-shot process goals, and how to reset when things are going wrong. And then I put things to the test with a handicap round… Big thanks to Laura for her help; do check out her work and book in for a free consultation at https://www.laurascottgolf.com/ 📸 Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/golflifecrisis/ ⌚ *Shot Scope* https://shotscope.com/?rfsn=8969316.3e72f1&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=8969316.3e72f1 (use code ‘GLC’ for 15% off) 🤜 *HackMotion* https://hackmotion.com/golflifecrisis (use code ‘golflifecrisis' for 5% off) 👕 *CHROMA Golf* https://chromagolf.com?sca_ref=10213108.U5MDH4xwhxCT4zF (use code ‘GLC’ for 10% off) 🌍 *NCG Top 100s Tour* https://ncgtop100stour.com?sca_ref=10511406.de2b4oL33tIhCZkq ⚙️ *Gear I use* Launch monitor: Uneekor Eye Mini https://amzn.to/456Y7sE Vlogging camera: DJI Osmo Pocket 3 https://amzn.to/4q9YYAQ On-course camera: DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro https://amzn.to/44zUwDi Balls: Titleiest Pro V1 https://amzn.to/4alxzHL Rangefinder: Bushnell Golf Tour V5 https://amzn.to/3KTGKou Gloves: FootJoy WeatherSof https://amzn.to/3MIuWGa (the above are affiliate links, so I will receive a small commission if you purchase using them) *Chapters* 00:00 - Intro 03:42 - Initial assessment 09:13 - Mid-round check-in 12:34 - Post-round summary 14:53 - Handicap round --- I quit my job to see if I can become a scratch golfer in one year. Is it possible to go from a 10.2 to a 0.0 in 365 days of golfing full-time? Follow my journey as I try to understand what drives sustainable improvement in golf, how quickly that improvement can come, and if this mad endeavour is even feasible.
