My wife took the girls and left me yesterday while I was at work.
I wish she would have taken the dog and left the girls, but I guess the waterpark doesn’t take dogs. As I sit around this lonely house, I remembered the times I would frequent the golf course first thing in the morning. First thing in the morning meant the first person on the golf course, 5:00 AM kind of early. During my early years of golf, these times alone with the golf course were perfect for improving.
Waking up to play golf as a single while many were still in bed made for a quiet, serene place where I could focus on my game. My score was not the emphasis at this time, the improvement was. No one was around to see me hit numerous bad shots, so I didn’t have a fear of judgment working against my progress.
If you have a new movement to work on, instead of spending hours on the driving range spend an hour alone with the golf course to work on things. Not only will this approach help you engrain new movements where it counts, but you will be surprised how the peacefulness of an empty golf course will help you think.
