Difficult Shots We Never Practice - Pt2 with Ken Doherty, PGA

In this episode of the Golf Smarter podcast, Fred chats with Ken Doherty, a head golf professional, about strategies to enhance your golf game. They highlight the importance of practicing less common shots, like hooks and those from uneven lies, arguing that regular practice not only builds confidence but also lessens fear on the course. The conversation delves into the mental aspect of golfing, noting that managing fear and concentrating on the target—rather than fixating on swing mechanics—can significantly improve performance, even for seasoned professionals. They draw comparisons between this mental focus and the subconscious actions we take in daily life, like driving a car.
