When coaching I instil the importance of maintaining focus on your own golf game and getting in your zone. But what if that zone makes you practically ignore your playing partners and becomes detrimental to your popularity at the golf club? I know many golfers who feel like they can’t be too focused as they don’t want to come across as being rude.
Is there a balance that can be struck? The subject arose recently when my pupil Matt asked me this very question. He’s been working hard with me this season on the mental side of his game - focusing on routine, acceptance, and trusting the process.
