This has been a year full of unexpected, unwelcome, and often uncomfortable experiences. In many ways, I got knocked out of my comfort zone just like you.

But I refused to get knocked down.

I want to challenge you to conduct a year in review with me that’s a bit different.

Why? Because the challenges that you endured over the past 12 months carried some lessons that I don’t want you to miss. When you embrace and leverage the changes that challenging times create, you position yourself for greater success.

So, in this episode, I’m going to share the top golf lessons you absolutely want to use.

Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode…

  • [07:20] 2020 Golf Lesson 2: You’ve got to make the most of every moment – When a round isn’t going as planned, it can be easy to find your thoughts drifting to the past and the future. Learn how to keep your mind centered on the present, which is the only part of the game you can control.
