This is going to be the true mental test for Scottie.

Going to be fascinating to see if he can play well after this.

๐Ÿง ๐Ÿงฎ The mental game can be hard to quantify.

But hereโ€™s a great metric to see if your mental game is improving:

How much does a bad round of golf affect you after the round?

๐Ÿ‘Ž If it affects you in ways that you donโ€™t like, then your relationship with the game might need some

This is a really good detailed thread.

While I haven't directly been trying to learn to control the clubface to get to where I am, face control has certainly been the end result of the things I work on.

I would say the biggest thing I did to become really good was learn to

๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿป My son is a year and 7 months.

When he has an impulse, he does it.

๐Ÿช He wants a cookie? Nothing else matters, heโ€™s gotta have that cookie.

๐Ÿ”Ž Do you go into search mode when you're lost with your game?

But I know this isn't as fast as I can really go.

Something about a real ball really changes the
