Stack and Tilt seems to be the hot golf concept right now. Since my original two articles, I continue to get a lot of traffic looking for information about Stack and Tilt. I’d like to look at it a little closer.

I’m not going to give a tutorial on the technique. I can’t do better than the original article at Golf Digest. What’s more interesting to me is the reaction I’ve gotten from people in person as [...]

My first manager out of college used to say that occasionally. I understood what he meant, but it took a while before it really sunk in.

What he was telling me was that in a day or a week or a month, no matter how good our “plan” is, it’s going to be outdated. Things change. We learn new information. We change our goals. But it’s the act of planning that prepares us to deal with [...]

Mental Game Improvement in Action

Posted by Double Eagle in Mental Game, My Progress - 0 Comments

We spent a lot of time over the last week talking about the mental game and the psychology of golf. I went through what I felt were my biggest flaws in that area and laid out my plan for addressing them. Well, I had a chance to take what I’ve been working on to the course on Sunday for a nine hole round.
