This is where golf pro and life coach collide. I help you play better without watching you hit one ball....because it's not your swing. There is what you do on the course and then how you treat yourself off the course. They are both critical for you excelling in the game. I share videos of my podcast Above Par where I show you how to think above par so you can play below par. I also share a variety of short tips and tactics to help you play to your potential.
Ep. 138 - A New Way to Score For Your Golf Brain
Scoring can be mental. How you think about par, birdie, bogey can affect how you show up over the ball. You can put unnecessary pressure on yourself to make a putt for par or give yourself a "3-putt pass" on a par 5 if you hit the green in two.
In this episode, I share a different way to think about scoring so that you can stand over as many shots as possible from a calm, certain or confident place.
Listen in and gain a paradigm shift on scoring with 3 key concepts.

I wish I could wave a magic wand and give everyone a beautiful swing and a peaceful mind full of useful thoughts.

Fantastic video! You were talking about me the whole time! 😝🤣🤣🤣 Can't wait for my round tomorrow. Thank you. 🥰
Great video ❤
Great video! 🥰
Love listening to you. Very happy I found you on UA-cam, have only listened to a few but I'm hooked. Thank you for making these videos. 🥰
Bullshit
A bit late to the channel found it/them really interesting and informative, I often call myself names after what I consider to be a poor shot or more importantly a poor decision, looking forward to more content
You better be hard on yourself,or you will never learn!
Bullshit
Wow...a "should" diet! I'm considering a lifelong "should" fast! Great message!
thank you and YES I like the "should' fast - you'll really start to notice how many times you say it!
I loved your second point about our thoughts playing golf. In politics they call it projection, when you project your own faults and biases on the opposition or other people.
It’s a bit like all the tips you hear on the golf course. They tend to be what people are working on rather than what fits with your own swing!
Yes...that is for sure. Never had an analogy to politics before :) That is good!
Very well done
Thank you!
A good perspective. Thank you!
Thank you...
Boy Jr golfers have alot of epectations
Hey! and Yes...and I coach some that struggle more with worrying about what other people think, comparison or anger, or pressure of trying to play college golf...keeping expectations in check with all of it for sure.
Thank you Kathy. I like the distinction between understanding that you may not be confident in a certain aspect of your game, but you CAN be confident that you will learn and get better at it!
YES!! So good right?!
So good!
I feel like this was directed towards me ha ha
Well, I have super powers :)
Maybe a subject for one of your discussions is giving up control to gain control. Sometimes we are definitely afraid on good rounds, but other times we seem to be taking too much control of the shot early in the bad rounds. Certainly more control than that is required to swing a golf club.
I like this concept...thanks for the angle!
Love the intro of “hello my friend”. I love just saying your score and then you can switch to a pleasantry.
Yes! so powerful and thanks for watching!
Great comment and finding that balance is subtle, but you are right....I thought that comes to mind listening to your ideas is craving. When you ‘crave a result’, then you’ve gone too far and you are now trying too hard rather than trying hard.
It is a subtle balance but makes a huge difference!
Excellent reminder not just for my golf game but in life! Thank you for the reminder that mindset is key to outcome. It was what I needed to hear today!
Love it! and yes...totally applies to life too!
Great video! Thank you
Thank you!
love this! Thanks for this episode
Thank you, Kathy! I'm 62 and only took up golf 2.5 years ago. I love the game. I hate when I allow others to make me self-conscious, even though they may be trying to help, and I lose my "game plan." Lol. I am enjoying your podcasts!
Hi Paula! Thanks for listening and yes, golfers love to give advice especially to new golfers! But keep in mind people can't "make" you self-conscious. You feel that because of a thought that you have about what they said. Might be something like: "I don't know what I am doing." "I am doing it wrong" - You can explore that...You get to decide to think whatever you want about the words they say...they don't have the power to make you feel anything...You go this and keep enjoying the game.
@@KathyHartWood Thank you, Kathy. I know you are right!
