What happens when your desire to improve starts stealing the joy of playing?
In this episode of Links for Life, Joe and Tommy explore the tension between growth and enjoyment in golf. They talk about how expectations create pressure, why score is a poor metric for enjoyment, and how process-based goals lead to healthier improvement and more sustainable joy.
This conversation dives into the difference between goals and expectations, process and outcome, and how many golfers lose the love of the game by demanding performance instead of building growth.
If you care about getting better at golf but also want to enjoy the game again, this episode is for you.
