“Just because your brain offers up a thought does not mean you have to think it.”   LPGA Teacher and Confidence Coach Kathy Hart Wood joins us live from the 2023 Dallas Shootout at Stonebriar Country Club to talk all about calibrating your mindset for peak golf performance!   Our brain generates a staggering number of thoughts every single day. There’s no escaping them. What does make a difference is how we choose to react to those thoughts.   Drawing from her own career, Kathy highlights how realigning our focus towards productive thoughts can help overcome fear and shame as a golfer. You'll gain practical advice on strengthening your mind for a round, including the art of setting positive intentions and eliminating negativity.   Next, we tackle the importance of managing your mental energy when faced with challenging holes. Kathy explains how focusing purely on controllable factors can lead to better performance. She discusses strategies to conserve mental energy, avoid worrying about external factors like weather or partner performance, and maintain a confident mindset before, during, and after a game.   Finally, Kathy touches on the importance of keeping a consistent pre-shot routine, as well as the secrets to keeping first-team jitters at bay and overcoming anxieties about your self-image while on the course.   About Kathy Hart Wood   Kathy Hart Wood is ranked as one of LPGA Teaching and Club Professional’s Top 50 LPGA Teachers.
