Everybody has expectations. Be it life as a parent, how a day at work is going to go, how investments might turn out, etcetera. Having these is entirely normal, but did you know that having expectations can hold you back when it comes to your golf game? To be exact, we are specifically referring to having too high of expectations, as going into something expecting nothing just isn't realistic, nor is it natural. Often times, a golfer can miss the forest for the trees by being upset about not breaking a personal record or winning a competition, when realistically they had a great day out on the course. Setting your expectations wrong can not only hamper your day, but also your growth as a player. Tune in to this edition of Single Plane Quick Tips, as Tim Graves, PGA, joined by mental game guru Paul Monahan, delve into what you can do to ensure your head is screwed on straight before each round.
