The 90% Nobody Trains

Every golfer knows the feeling. Stripe it on the range, lose it on the course. The swing didn't change — the situation did.

The truth is uncomfortable: most golfers spend 100% of their practice time on mechanics and 0% on the system that runs those mechanics under pressure. Your pre-shot routine, your self-talk, your ability to reset after a double bogey — that's the 90% nobody trains.

Start small. Pick one mental skill — commitment over the ball — and grade yourself after every round. Awareness is the first rep.
