The best way to play better golf... is to get better at "PLAYING" golf

It's hard to swing like a pro...It's easy to play like one!
Stop watching my swing, and start watching how I play the game.
It wasn't my swing that allowed me to be a succesful PGA tour player for over four decades. It's how I played the game that made the difference. At it's core, golf is a game of personal strategy, execution, and resilience...not swing technique. Sure it's nice to have a pretty swing but ultimately how you play the game is much more important. If you really want to play better golf, stop trying to copy my swing, and start copying how I play the game.
Golf is a game of shots, not swings.
We all know that good shots come from good swings, but the question you should be asking yourself is: Where do my good swings come from? The swing is just the most visible component of the shot. Proper shot selection, managing interference, and maintaining your competitive spirit are the INVISIBLE SKILLS that give you the best chance to make your best swing. Organizing and developing these skills is the true path to not just playing better golf, but to becoming a better golfer.
Better Practice = Better Golf
We all know that improvement requires practice. But not all practice is created equal. Are you practicing the right things? Are you practicing those things the right way? Or, like most golfers, are you blindly hitting shot after shot with little or no regard for how these shots are actually executed in the playing environment? At some point, every succesful golfer learns that you can't take your range game to the course. You have to bring the course to the range if you want to improve.
