Bad Rounds, Bad Info, and How Golfers Get Off Track
About this episode
Jon and Adam discuss how golfers can improve their responses to bad rounds and the misconceptions that can lead to poor performance.
Jon and Adam discuss two different ways golfers can improve how they respond when things go wrong. Jon shares a difficult tournament experience at the Met Amateur and explains why he tries to view every round as part of a much longer process—using bad days to practice staying engaged, committing to good decisions, and building habits that will carry into future rounds. Adam then explores how faulty concepts about impact, ball flight, alignment, and swing mechanics can send golfers down the wrong path, even when those beliefs feel logical. They also discuss why better players can sometimes perform well despite incorrect ideas, and why understanding what actually caused a bad shot gives golfers a much better chance of making the right adjustment.
