Welcome to the first installment of the "Journey to Scratch" series of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast. Rather than trying to cram valuable coaching and education alongside updates on my own journey to scratch into a single episode, I believe you'll get more value if I separate the two entirely. Each Tuesday, I'll recap my past week of practice, play, wins, and challenges, as well as detail what I'm working on and how I'm working on overcoming current challenges. In today's episode, I'll recap my first four officially logged rounds (I use the Grint to log my rounds - connect with me: pauljsalter07), discuss my thoughts on mulligans, breakfast balls, and a two-ball scramble (you may disagree with me), as well as update you on what I'm trying to achieve by November 13, 2024… Start listening. P.S. I'm conducting research to better understand how I can provide the content and education you need to shoot more pars than bogeys. I want to learn more about your challenges, fears, desires, and goals so I can create content that impacts you and your game at a deeper level. If you currently have a double-digit handicap and are determined to break 90 (or 80), I'd love to ask you a handful of questions over a quick Zoom call. If you're open to it, you can schedule at your convenience here. Learn from local teaching pro Chris Ardolina. Key Quotes: "I f%cking broke 100. I was stoked. Shot a 99 the other day." "I am living, sleeping, breathing aspects of the mental and emotional game." "I swear if I played two balls every hole, I'd shoot a 55 with one of them and a 45 with another." Subscribe to the More Pars Than Bogeys Newsletter. This newsletter helps double-digit golfers overcome the emotional and mental hazards of their minds so that they can shoot more pars than bogeys. Each week, I'll provide insights, principles, and strategies to help you deter distractions, find your focus, manage your emotions, and cultivate boundless confidence so that you can play to your potential.
