Die Funktion des Handschuhs Du willst Deinen Rhythmus finden – und plötzlich merkst Du, dass Dein Handschuh schon wieder am Handballen durchgescheuert ist. Vielleicht hast Du schon alle möglichen Modelle ausprobiert, aber es hilft alles nichts. Dabei kann die Art, wie Dein Handschuh kaputt geht, viel über Deinen Griff verraten. Und es gibt noch eine andere Frage: Wann ziehst Du den Handschuh überhaupt aus – beim Chippen, beim Putten oder gar nicht?

Wie du auch ohne perfekte Vorbereitung noch gut in die Golfsaison starten kannst Die Saison steht vor der Tür, die ersten Turniere rücken näher – und plötzlich merkst du: Eine echte Saisonvorbereitung hat eigentlich gar nicht stattgefunden. Vielleicht ein paar Range-Besuche, ein bisschen gespielt, aber ohne klare Struktur oder Trainingsplan. Die gute Nachricht: Die Saison ist noch nicht verloren. Die Herausforderung: Du musst jetzt anders trainieren als jemand, der sich seit Monaten vorbereitet hat. In dieser Folge zeigt dir Fabian einen klaren Notfallplan, mit dem du trotzdem stabil in die Golfsaison starten kannst. Nicht mit unrealistischen Versprechen wie „Perfektes Golfspiel in vier Wochen“, sondern mit den Stellschrauben, die jetzt wirklich entscheidend sind. Das erwartet dich in der Folge:Warum Aktionismus nicht hilft: Viele Bälle schlagen oder kurzfristig Trainerstunden nehmen bringt selten nachhaltige Verbesserungen. Priorität 1 – Der Driver: Warum stabile Abschläge jetzt wichtiger sind als technische Perfektion im Eisenspiel. Priorität 2 – Kurzes Spiel: Wie Chippen und lange Putts deinen Score retten können – und warum sie mental so wichtig sind. Priorität 3 – Mentale Stabilität: Wie eine einfache Pre-Shot-Routine dir hilft, trotz fehlender Vorbereitung konzentriert zu bleiben.

In this episode of Golf Party Live, Donna and Brittney Boo break down one of the most important — and most misunderstood — parts of the golf game: the pre-shot routine. Inspired by a real-life moment on the course (we've all been there!), this episode dives into why having a consistent pre-shot routine matters not just for your game, but for your playing partners too. If you've ever felt rushed, unsure, or stuck over the ball — or played with someone who takes forever — this episode is for you. We talk about how a simple, repeatable routine can build confidence, improve consistency, and help you play faster and more enjoyably. In This Episode, We Cover: • What a pre-shot routine actually is • Why every golfer — especially beginners — needs one • How long your routine should really take • Why "waggles" matter (and what they actually are) • The difference between a waggle and a wiggle • Common mistakes beginners make before hitting the ball • How to create a routine that keeps you confident and fun to play with Whether you're brand new to golf or looking to tighten up your game, this episode will help you step up to the ball with clarity, confidence, and flow. ⛳️ Perfect For: ✔️ Beginner and intermediate golfers ✔️ Anyone who wants to speed up play ✔️ Golfers who want more confidence over every shot ✔️ Players who care about good etiquette and good vibes
If you're skipping or rushing your pre-shot routine, you're leaving shots (and sanity) on the table. In this episode, I'm breaking down how your pre-shot routine does way more than get you set up—it builds your swing's foundation and gives your brain something steady to lean on when pressure hits. You'll learn how to use it to create consistency, calm your nerves, and play with more trust over every shot. Whether you're on the tee box or the putting green, this one habit can change everything. Let's get it dialed.Continue your mental journey at Your Mental Caddy HERE Join the NEXT Workshop Here Mastering Your Golf Brain - A Guide to Self-Coaching Mastering Your Golf Brain - The Workbook Mental Golf Journal - A Range for Your Brain Are all available at KathyHartWood.com/book Private coaching starts with a Free Discovery Call here: Email Kathy at Kathy@KathyHartWood.com Website: KathyHartWood.com
In dieser Folge spricht Fabian mit Claudio Paltengi, der in weniger als zwölf Monaten eine der beeindruckendsten Entwicklungen hingelegt hat: von Platzreife im Oktober bis Handicap 18,6 im Spätsommer – inklusive eines Sprungs von Handicap 21 auf 18 in unter vier Wochen. Du erfährst: Warum Claudio trotz (oder gerade wegen) kurzer Golferfahrung so schnell Fortschritte gemacht hat Welche Rolle mentale Strategien wie erwartungsloses Golfen und eine stabile Pre-Shot-Routine für seine Leistung gespielt haben Wie er durch konsequentes Course Management unnötige Fehler vermieden und sein Spiel stabilisiert hat Was ihm im Turnier geholfen hat, mit Nervosität, Regen und Drucksituationen umzugehen Warum nicht mehr Schwung-Tipps, sondern ein klarer Plan, einfache Technikimpulse und regelmäßiges Video-Feedback den Unterschied gemacht haben Wie Online-Coaching ihn unterstützt hat – mit schneller Rückmeldung, ortsunabhängigem Training und klaren Aufgaben Was seine nächsten Schwerpunkte sind: mehr Konstanz, besseres Kurzspiel und Putting Claudio zeigt eindrucksvoll, was möglich ist, wenn man strukturiert arbeitet, mental ruhig bleibt und sich auf das Wesentliche fokussiert. Sein Tipp für alle Golfenden: Spiel nicht ergebnisgetrieben – sondern mit einer klaren Strategie und der Bereitschaft, auch Fehler gelassen zu akzeptieren.
Mentale Stärke ist der Gamechanger auf jeder Runde. In dieser Episode erklärt Fabian Bünker, welche 5 mentalen Strategien Top-Golfer:innen konsequent nutzen — und wie du sie trainierst: Ziele & Motivation: Setze ein klares, intrinsisches Ziel als dein „Navi“ (z. B. Hcp-Ziel oder Skills). Konzentration: Fokussiere jeden Schlag über eine wiederholbare Pre-Shot-Routine; entlaste zwischen den Schlägen mit einer In-Between-Routine. Emotionsmanagement: Mit Post-Shot-Routine, 10-Schritte-Regel und Atemtechnik (länger aus- als einatmen) im Jetzt bleiben. Visualisierung: Positive Bilder vor der Runde und nach Fehlern — dein Gehirn unterscheidet nicht zwischen vivid visualisiert und erlebt. Selbstvertrauen: Durch kleine, wiederholte Erfolge (z. B. Putt-Serien, TrackMan-Combine) statt „Alles-oder-nichts“-Denken. Mit diesen Bausteinen spielst du stabiler und zufriedener — und weißt genau, womit du heute beginnst.

#84: [Inside the Mind] Joe Park: Overlooked Fundamentals, Fewer Mistakes, and More Intentionality on the Range (and Course) In this episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I'm joined by elite swing coach Joe Park to demystify the path to a consistent, efficient, and powerful golf swing. Joe shares lessons from his decades of coaching—from helping high handicappers break 90 to training his sons as they pursue the PGA Tour. You'll hear how small changes to grip, tempo, and practice structure can completely transform your swing—and why you must practice to forget. Joe breaks down his five golf swing fundamentals, explains why most golfers fail by chasing complexity, and outlines how to design and forge a swing that holds up under pressure. This episode blends mechanics, mindset, and the subtle art of self-coaching in a way that will resonate with golfers of all levels. In today's episode, you'll learn: The five core fundamentals Joe Park teaches to build a repeatable, powerful swing. Why grip is the most overlooked yet essential element in fixing slices and shaping shots. How to practice with intention by exaggerating drills to create long-lasting improvements. The key differences between single-digit handicaps and scratch players — and how to bridge the gap. Why “swing faster” might be the most underrated advice for gaining distance. How to balance mechanics and mindset for lasting results on the course. What most golfers get wrong on the range — and how to finally take your “range game” to the course. Get your pencils ready and start listening. P.S. Curious to learn more about the results my clients are experiencing and what they say about working with me? Read more here. More About Joe Joe is a Master Teaching Pro with over 30 years of experience helping golfers better understand their golf swing through science, physics, and better thinking.

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: A good grip isn't natural — it's learned. Get it right, and you instantly solve 80% of your ball flight issues. Joe's “Five Fundamentals” begin with grip and move through takeaway, transition, impact, and follow-through. Most golfers swing too slowly in the backswing, leading to rushed transitions and reduced power. You can't practice mechanics and performance under pressure at the same time. Structure practice around exaggeration then application. Self-awareness and honest feedback are non-negotiable if you want to improve. Distance is simple: swing faster — and give yourself permission to do so. Golfers must learn to be less risky on the course. Play smart. Avoid blow-up holes. Key Quotes: “Fundamentals never go out of style.” “We practice to forget.” “Intentional exaggeration is what changes your baseline.” “A slinky doesn't snap unless it's been stretched.” “You don't need more shots — you need fewer mistakes.” Time Stamps: 00:00: Introduction to Joe Park's Golf Journey 03:10: The Five Fundamentals of Golf 06:04: Understanding the Golf Swing Mechanics 08:58: The Importance of Mental Game in Golf 11:59: Transitioning from Amateur to Professional 15:10: Mastering the Short Game 18:02: The Path to Becoming a Scratch Golfer 21:01: Developing a Pre-Shot Routine 24:00: Drills and Practice Techniques 26:57: Final Thoughts on Golf Mastery 31:00: The Art of Intentional Practice 34:08: Embracing Discomfort for Growth 36:53: Balancing Mechanics and Mindset 41:04: The Importance of a Structured Approach 44:59: Finding the Right Coach 50:00: Risk Management in Golf and Life

(00:01) Importance of Consistency in Golf Improvement This chapter explores the challenges of maintaining consistency in golf performance, especially when students fail to practice what they learn during lessons. I, John Ashton, along with Golf Magazine Top 100 teacher Jeff Smith, discuss the common issue where students see immediate improvement in lessons but fail to sustain it due to a lack of discipline in practicing outside of class. Jeff shares a story about a student who experienced significant improvement during lessons but regressed because he didn't incorporate the taught techniques into his routine. We emphasize the importance of doing the necessary homework and ask students to engage with their coaches actively to develop effective practice habits. Jeff highlights the need for students to take notes, ask questions, and consistently apply what they learn to avoid repeating the same lessons. Ultimately, the key to consistent improvement lies in integrating the learned skills into a regular practice routine. (08:21) Pre-Shot Routine and Golf Improvement This chapter explores the significance of a pre-shot routine in golf, with insights shared by Jeff Smith, a top 100 golf instructor. We discuss how consistency in preparation, like ensuring correct ball and foot placement, can lead to better results on the course. Through anecdotes, we illustrate how golfers can improve their game by adhering to these routines, comparing it to the repeated efforts required to pass college courses. We also share a light-hearted look at the peculiar mix of businesses along the Tamiami Trail in Florida, reflecting on the unexpected blend of luxury and everyday establishments. Overall, we emphasize the importance of practicing diligently to achieve continuous improvement in golf. (14:35) Improving Golf Swing in Simple Steps This chapter focuses on the fundamentals of golf swing mechanics, emphasizing the importance of alignment, posture, and grip to improve consistency and performance. I share insights from a coaching session with a golfer who initially struggled due to perceived physical limitations. By assessing his natural body movements and setting him up in a way that aligned with his capabilities, we improved his swing effortlessly. This approach highlighted how often golfers create their own obstacles by setting up incorrectly. Through simple adjustments and understanding one's body mechanics, the golfer was able to achieve a more efficient and effective swing, resulting in increased confidence and success on the course. (23:54) Golf Grip and Targeting Systems This chapter covers the nuances of golf grips and how they can impact a player's swing and shot accuracy. We explore a scenario where a right-handed golfer uses a thumb-on-top grip, typically ineffective for hitting a straight shot, likening it to techniques better suited for activities like chopping wood. The conversation highlights the importance of a proper grip and pre-shot routine, emphasizing that many golfers mistakenly blame their swing for errant shots when club face angle and setup play a crucial role. Through humorous anecdotes and insights from working with golfers and military rifle trainers, we illustrate how understanding the relationship between swing direction, club face angle, and targeting systems can transform a player's game, removing doubt and enhancing precision on the course. (30:31) Improving Targeting System in Golf This chapter explores the intricacies of targeting systems in golf, particularly focusing on bunker shots. We discuss the importance of positioning and swing direction to ensure sand is thrown toward the target, thus reducing risk and improving accuracy. By adjusting the body and club face alignment, golfers can better match the swing path to the intended target. Additionally, we highlight how the position of the ball in the swing arc affects the outcome, suggesting that a forward ball position can lead to more successful shots. In a practical illustration, I share a personal experience on a challenging par three, demonstrating how applying these lessons—such as assessing wind direction and selecting the appropriate club—led to a successful shot while others fell short. (35:56) Club Selection and Ego in Golf This chapter takes us through the nuances of golf club selection and the importance of understanding one's own capabilities on the course. We explore a personal experience where I opted for a four hybrid club despite advice to the contrary and achieved a successful shot, emphasizing the value of over-clubbing in certain situations. I discuss an upcoming session with a Korn Ferry Tour player who is grappling with a minor swing issue that has major effects on his performance, particularly on long par threes over water. The conversation highlights the common tendency among golfers to underestimate the importance of club choice and overestimate their own hitting distances, often leading to poor decisions and mistakes. By sharing anecdotes of playing partners and their habits, I underline the impact of ego and habitual thinking on golf performance, suggesting practical ways to manage expectations and avoid costly errors. (41:25) Instructor Advice and Ego in Golf This chapter explores the challenges and nuances of receiving and applying advice in golf, particularly focusing on the impact of ego and pride in learning. We discuss the differences in how men and women handle advice, noting that women often ask more questions and admit when they need help. I emphasize the importance of developing a consistent routine to build confidence, such as checking the club face and taking practice swings, to ensure a balanced and powerful swing. Ultimately, the key takeaway is the importance of working on the specific areas your instructor advises, which will lead to significant improvement in your game.

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: Focus on What You Can Control: Let go of past mistakes and future outcomes—your job is to hit the current shot as well as you can. Presence Over Perfection: Your pre-shot routine should anchor you in the moment without rigid repetition that leads to overthinking. Expand Your Target, Reduce Your Stress: Instead of aiming for tiny, high-pressure targets, widen your focus to reduce anxiety and stay fluid. Short Game is Key: Invest more time in improving your shots within 100 yards—it's the quickest way to lower your score. Fairway Bunker Practice: Practicing in fairway bunkers improves your contact and ball striking on grass significantly. Daily Confidence Deposits: Revisit your best shots and great rounds to build belief in your abilities, especially after mistakes. Let Play Be Your Teacher: Approach practice with curiosity and experimentation rather than fear of mistakes. Key Quotes: "Your goal is to make the current shot as great as you possibly can." "Consistency is not achievable—progress is." "Your pre-shot routine should help you flow, not control." "Hitting a bad shot doesn't mean you're broken." "Lay your head on the pillow and replay your great holes." "The ball isn't your bullseye—the ground in front of it is." "You're practicing something every time you play—make sure it's helpful self-talk."

In episode 257 of the Demystifying Mental Toughness Podcast, David discusses pre-shot routines in sport. With an emphasis on golf, and the importance of a personalised routine to enhance performance. Key elements include the decision making process, assessing one's state of mind, taking practice swings in a purposeful way, visualizing the shot, focusing on the target, focusing your attention ahead of execution and the use of trigger words. Key Learning Points: Write down key steps of your personal pre-shot routine to improve your understanding. Routines need practice and rehearsal if you are going to take them into competitive environments successfully. Using trigger words that direct your attention towards timing can be beneficial like "smooth swing", "commit" or “trust” to enhance focus. As humans we can get comfortable quickly therefore adjusting your approach from time to time is important to guard against complacency and to improve focus The approach discussed is applicable to various sports, not just golf.

In today's episode, you'll learn more about the mental and emotional challenges of playing in high-pressure tournaments - and how to overcome them, how to integrate a practice of acknowledgment and acceptance to accelerate results, as well as why having a pre-shot routine really matters (and the unknown benefits it provides).

Josh run's his own business, Foundations Mental Performance, where he works with individuals all over the world on their golf psychology as a way to help them play better golf and get more enjoyment out of the game. Host of The Mental Golf Show Author of The Mental Regrip Newsletter Twitter/X: @joshlukenichols Instagram: joshlukenichols Key Takeaways: Acknowledging and accepting mistakes is crucial in moving on from poor performances. Focusing on what is important in the present moment helps to stay mentally resilient. Understanding and managing emotions is key to maintaining a positive mindset in golf. A strong pre-shot routine and commitment to the target can improve performance. Mindset and mental resilience play a significant role in golf success. It's normal to feel frustration or anger after a poor shot in golf. Suppressing these emotions can lead to more trouble down the road. Allow yourself a moment to feel the emotions and then move on. Don't try to ignore or suppress them. The pre-shot routine is important for helping players feel confident and present. It should focus on getting freed up, accepting the results, and picking a good target. The details of the pre-shot routine don't matter as much as the overall purpose. It doesn't have to be the same every time, but it should help you accomplish your mental goals. Having a plan and being flexible with it is key in golf. Accepting and embracing the emotions that come with playing can help players be more present and perform better. Key Quotes: "Mistakes are normal. Mistakes are human." "Acceptance and saying, 'I, any shot could be a bad golf shot.'" "What's important to me now? What's relevant now?" "That emotion is a normal human response. It's okay, it's normal, and kind of circling back to what you said earlier, it's the repression of those emotions that lead to more trouble down the road." "I think working through it, however long it takes. I would never say you're not allowed to feel it, but I also wouldn't say you need to stop feeling it after 10 seconds." "The pre-shot routine is to get you freed up, to get you feeling confident, which is to say, 'This ball could go anywhere and I'll be okay.'" Subscribe to the More Pars Than Bogeys Newsletter.

A pre-shot routine is one of the few constants in golf that all good players (pros & ams) have in common and something that you can control. It's also something you can and should develop in the offseason. Here's why... A pre-shot routine will also help you: Stay calm and focused Improve your pace of play Block out negative thoughts Find your target and commit to a shot Take your range game to the golf course But most importantly, it will help you get into the zone. When your pre-shot routine becomes automatic, you can easily get in the zone and let your subconscious take over. This is where greatness comes and it's almost an out-of-body experience. To get these benefits on the golf course, you need to first create your routine on the range. In this episode we'll cover: Why you need a waggle How bad routines lead to meltdowns The importance of breath in your golf swing Why you need to analyze the lie before picking a club The correct amount of time to spend over the golf ball Master your pre-shot routine in golf to save 3–5 shots per round by grabbing the free Pre-Shot Routine Checklist.

896: Golf can't be that difficult to understand, learn, and conquer, can it? Jerome Rufin believes it, so he launched a YouTube documentary series called “Scratch to Scratch” that documents his daily quest from knowing nothing about the sport…and I do mean nothing…to be a scratch golfer. The videos are informative, enlightening, compelling and sometimes frustrating to watch as he gets advanced instruction at a rapid pace. But it's clear by watching that he, like many of us, is sometimes lost about what it all means and how it works. Even with a team of coaches and full time dedication, Jerome believes he could shoot par regularly in less than 5 years. In this conversation, we learn just how his innocent naiveté is keeping his spirits high and his frustration in check. https://www.youtube.com/@JeromeRufin Watch the complete interview at https://youtu.be/fhnZxqHTsHE This episode is brought to you by SwingU.com and the SwingU app. Go to swingu.com/upgrade and use promo code ‘golfsmarter' to save 30% on your first year's subscription to either the SwingU Plus or SwingU Pro..

Britta ist seit einem Jahr bei uns im Coaching und sagt selber von sich, dass sie seitdem viel konstanter und präziser Golf spielt. Und ganz nebenbei ihre größten sportlichen Erfolge in 2022 gefeiert hat. Ihre größten Probleme vor dem Start ins Coaching waren vor allem die große Streuung bei Abschlägen, ein unsicherer Schwung, ein schlechtes kurzes Spiel, fehlendes Course Management und vor allem nicht vorhandene mentale Strategien, um mit Druck auf dem Golfplatz umzugehen. In dieser neuen Golf in Leicht Podcast Folge spricht Fabian mit Britta über ihre Erfahrungen in unserem Coaching, welche Erfolge sie im letzten Jahr gefeiert hat und warum für sie Themen wie eine Pre-Shot-Routine, schnelles Feedback und ein klarer Trainingsplan so wichtig für ihre Entwicklung waren.

A pre-shot routine is one of the few constants in golf and something that you can control. A pre-shot routine will also help you: Stay calm and focused Improve your pace of play Block out negative thoughts Find your target and commit to a shot Take your range game to the golf course But most importantly, it will help you get into the zone. When your pre-shot routine becomes automatic, you can easily get in the zone and let your subconscious take over. This is where greatness comes and it's almost an out-of-body experience. To get these benefits on the golf course, you need to first create your routine on the range. In this episode we'll cover: Why you need a waggle How bad routines lead to meltdowns The importance of breath in your golf swing Why you need to analyze the lie before picking a club The correct amount of time to spend over the golf ball And more golf tips to help you have a pre-shot routine like a top player.

Your pre-shot routine (or lack thereof) is costing you 3–5 strokes every round and I'll prove it in this episode. Think about it, pre-shot routines are part of sports; NFL kickers have one when they line up for a field goal and basketball players at the free-throw line. Each player develops their own pre-shot routine to stay focused and feel confident. The same goes with golf. Helen Alfredsson described the importance of a pre-shot routine in the book A Good Swing Is Hard to Find. She stated, “A pre-shot routine helps you build a cocoon around yourself. This is the mysterious zone that athletes refer to longingly. But there's nothing mysterious about it.” A pre-shot routine is one of the few things you can control. It will help you analyze the shot, stay calm, improve pace of play, and transfer your range game to the golf course. In today's episode we cover the European Tour study that tracked 20,000+ shots and shows why ALL golfers need a pre-shot routine. You'll learn: Why you need a faster routine How every type of golfer can benefit from a set of pre-shot rituals How a routine can give you a 90% better chance to make short putts And so much more.
