Golf is Supposed to be Fun

Practice is something that we take very serious here at Mindover Golf. Without practice, we would never get better at the game that we love so much. Let's take a dive back into some of my old blog posts that talk about practice and some other factors that can help us in our golf game.  In my post Top 7 Drills to lower scores, we talk about some of my favorite drills to lower scores, my favorite from this list is the 3-6-9 drill to help bang in those short putts to gain confidence for the rest of you game. Click Here to read about all of the drills to help lower your score.  In my post, Fewer Bogeys: The path to lower scores, we touch on how to approach the golf course to shoot lower scores. This includes keeping calm and making smart decisions on the golf course, remembering making par instead of a birdie is better than making triple.

Sleek, simple, and steeped in tradition, they offer unmatched feedback and control. Players who pride themselves on precision love blades for their ability to reward a perfect stroke—but at a cost. They can be unforgiving, and mishits often stray far off target. Mallet Putters Mallet putters are the choice for golfers seeking stability. With a larger head and more weight distribution, they’re perfect for players who need help with alignment and maintaining a smooth stroke. Their forgiving nature makes them ideal for weekend warriors. However, purists often dismiss mallets as lacking the finesse and elegance of a blade. High-MOI Putt...

Imagine this: you're standing on the first tee, the sun is shining, the course is pristine, and you’re surrounded by friends. Now, what if, for just one round, you let go of the pressure to shoot your best score, nail every drive, or sink every putt? What if golf was just about the joy of the game? Too often, we treat golf like a test of skill instead of the experience it’s meant to be. We obsess over swing mechanics, scrutinize missed putts, and lament every ball lost to the water. But here’s a thought: what if, for one day, none of that mattered? Imagine walking onto the course and focusing on the sound of the ball meeting the clubface, the feeling of the grass underfoot, and the shared laughs over a missed shot. What if the only competition was seeing who could tell the best joke on the fairway? By letting go of perfection, we might rediscover the childlike joy that brought us to the game in the first place. Maybe that extra slice on your tee shot isn’t a failure—it’s a chanc...
