Lessons with Garret
Garret Wenrich
“You attack a golf course mentally, not with your swing.” – Jack Nicklaus
Introduction
Golf is a mental battlefield. For every swing and every putt you need to have laser focus and emotional control. The real challenge lies in mastering the mind. How many times have you doubted a shot or putt or became frustrated following a shot or putt? Probably too many to count.
In golf, the true struggle happens between the ears. In order to reach peak performance, golfers need to learn how to battle self-doubt, overcome frustration, and stay calm under pressure.
“I am about 5 inches from being an outstanding golfer. That’s the distance my left ear is from my right.” – Ben Crenshaw, former professional golfer
Golf is hard! As a mental performance consultant, my goal is to help you:
1) Create a mindset that supports peak performance
2) Stay present
3) Maintain confidence throughout your round.
