How many of you US golfers have played in the UK/Ireland? I was at Lahinch last summer and it was full of Amercians - good to see them too!

Get yourself over - play an old links, a very different game indeed!

i've made the trip--played a local public parkland track outside the telford area, but the big dog of the trip was making it out to Royal Liverpool - Hoylake 3 months before the Open Championship was there in July 2006.

safe to say i can't wait to make it back but will make it up to Scotland and over to Ireland too...

I played in 2007 in the Liverpool, Lake District area and plan to go back... when the exchange rate gets better. $8/gal gas, err... petrol. Ouch.

Wales looks like a good spot for golf - not as many well known courses, so less crowded and better value.

I love the speed of play over there. And for those who are going - not one course asked me for my USGA card to check my handicap.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Played Wentworth outside London a week ago and it was a very nice course. Probably a lot better when the flowers are all out. Some very odd food choices at the half way house...

      Discipline

      By MentalityJohn · Posted

      Great post and I agree with almost all of it. The discipline piece is real — most golfers want the result without the reps. One thing I'd add: there's a version of discipline that happens away from the range too. The 20 handicapper who texts the next day with a full-speed video — that's not just a practice discipline problem. That's an identity problem. He still sees himself as a 20 handicap who's trying something new. He hasn't made the internal shift to being the golfer who practices with intention. I work on the mental side of the game and what I've found is that the golfers who actually stick with the slow, boring, disciplined practice are the ones who've done some internal work on who they believe they are as a golfer. The ones who quit after two range sessions never changed the story they tell themselves. They're still running the old software. Discipline isn't just "will you do the reps." It's "do you believe you're the type of golfer who does the reps." That belief piece is what separates the ones who text you the next day with a full-speed swing from the ones who actually put in the work.
