And I’ll prove it to you with one simple exercise.
The next time you go to the course, play a two-ball, best-shot scramble. You don’t even have to actually play to know what’s going to happen: you’re going to shoot a significantly lower score than you normally do—without making a single change to your swing.
Contrary to what you’ve been told since you started playing this game, you don’t need a better swing to olay better golf. You just need to do a better job of accessing the good swings that you already have. The extra ball in the scramble format automatically improves your ability to do that. It improves your chances of choosing the right shot, it allows you to swing with more freedom, and gives you a confidence and resilience that lasts the entire round. These are the game's INVISIBLE SKILLS and whether you are a tour player or a bogey golfer, mastering them is the real key to playing better golf.
