Check out my best-selling book, The Four Foundations of Golf, here: amzn.to/3BMTJDY

If you’ve ever thrown a club, cursed under your breath, or let one bad shot ruin your round - you’re not alone. In this video, I break down the 5 biggest triggers that make golfers lose their cool and 4 practical ways to control your anger so you can actually enjoy the game again (and play better).

For years, my own temper held me back from reaching my potential. But learning how to manage frustration completely changed my game, and it can do the same for you.

🎯 What You’ll Learn:
• The 5 most common causes of golf anger (and how to spot them)
• Simple mental strategies to stay calm under pressure
• How to detach your ego and stop letting bad shots control your
emotions
• The mindset shift that helps you enjoy golf—no matter your score

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.
