Most golfers try to control everything - their swing, their score, their luck - and it’s quietly destroying their game.
In this video, I’ll show you the 3 things you can actually control on the golf course - Preparation, Process, and Attitude - and the 2 things you can’t (but keep wasting mental energy on). Once you make this shift, you’ll stop blowing up on the back nine, protect your focus, and start shooting lower scores — without changing your swing.
This is one of the most important mental game lessons I’ve ever learned, and it completely changed how I approach golf.
👉 What You’ll Learn:
• How to protect your mental battery during a round
• The 3 controllable habits that separate pros from amateurs
• Why chasing outcomes ruins your focus and enjoyment
• A 60-second checklist you can use every round
• How to accept bad breaks, off days, and variability
If you’re tired of wasting energy on things you can’t control, this framework will change how you think - and how you 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.
