Why Golf Psychology Matters More Than Your Swing| Better Golf Academy

Let me be honest with you. Most golf lessons are selling the same thing. Grip changes. Backswing fixes. Elbow positions. You have tried them. I have tried them. They do not work long term.

Better Golf Academy is different. This podcast does not care about your swing mechanics. The host teaches feel-based learning, smart course navigation, and practice routines that actually hold up under pressure.

Right now, 27,400+ golfers across 40 countries listen to 30 episodes. The fan favorite? The "Perfect Practice" episodes.

Why Your Range Sessions Are Wasting Time

Think about your last driving range visit. You bought a large bucket. You hit 40 drivers. No target. No pressure. No consequence. Then you went home confused why your handicap did not drop.

That is not practice. That is just hitting balls.

Here is what actually works. Every shot needs a purpose. Every drill needs a score to beat. Every repetition should train your brain, not just your body. And no swing thoughts allowed.

The 3-Foot Circle Drill (This One Is Painful But Works)

Putting wins rounds. But nobody practices it properly.

Try this. Put tees in a circle around any hole. Now make 20 putts in a row from 3 feet. Miss one? Start over from zero. I have seen grown golfers spend 30 minutes on this drill.

Why do it? Because short putts stop scaring you. Your hands stay steady. Your greens in regulation finally matter because you actually make the putt after.

The Lag Drill That Kills Three Putts

Nothing kills momentum like a three putt. The fix is simple.

From 40 feet away, hit 10 putts. Your only job? Get every single putt inside 3 feet. That is it. No mechanical thoughts. Just feel the distance. Do this twice a week.

Golfers who stick with this drill drop 3 to 4 putts per round almost immediately.

The Up-and-Down Challenge

Want to know the difference between a 90s golfer and a 70s golfer? Scrambling.

From 30 yards off the green, give yourself 5 chances to get up and down. Chip on. Make one putt. Count your successes. Track it every week.

This drill feels like real golf. Because it is.

Final Word

Better Golf Academy gives you a real plan. No swing mechanics. No fancy words. Just drills that work.
