On this episode of The Mental Golf Show we’re going to be talking about a key element of the pre-shot routine: commitment. You’ve chosen your target, now you need to hit the shot. But the step between those two is commitment to the target. You should leave this episode with a better understanding of what commitment is, and a tangible way to be more committed on every shot to give yourself the best access to your skills. ----- Elevate the quality of your practice!
