Who am I?

My name is Jon Sherman 👋. I'm a best-selling author, PGA Tour coach, and a golfer just like you. I aim to help golfers of all levels lower their scores and enjoy the game more, but without talking about the golf swing. I focus on four topics - expectation management, strategy, practice, and the mental game. I'll share some of my best advice on this channel in an easy-to-understand, actionable format.
