• How to Make Your Pre-Round Warmup Work for You

  Is your pre-round warm up inconsistent or non-existent. In this episode, Kathy gets real about pre-round warmups. Spoiler alert: it’s not about finding the magic swing or hoping your confidence shows up. Kathy shares how to keep your warmup neutral—like stretching before a workout, but with less "I’m totally going to crush it today" vibes. She breaks down how to avoid the trap of searching for evidence that you're ready to play (because that’s just a setup for disappointment) and how to focus on simple swing thoughts and tempo instead of worrying about perfect mechanics and perfect shots. Tune in for some lighthearted advice on getting your head—and body—ready for the course by making it a simple and workable routine for you!Join the Think Above Par Club hereUnleash Your Golf self-paced program is available at:  https://www.unleashyourgolf.comMastering Your Golf Brain - A Guide to Self-CoachingMastering Your Golf Brain - The WorkbookMental Golf Journal - A Range for Your BrainAre all available at KathyHartWood.com/bookPrivate coaching starts with a Free Discovery Call here: Email Kathy at [email protected]: KathyHartWood.com
