  Posted on June 9, 2012 by Grant in My Journey.

  My game is really sharp and I am capable of playing great golf right now. However, during my last tournament, from about the 7th hole on the first day to the end of the second day, I was getting very frustrated. I was making silly bogeys, and giving away strokes. The more bogeys I made, […]

  The way that I mentally work through a missed cut or a quadruple bogey is directly related to the truth that is stated in the following Bible verse. “…and we exult in hope of the glory of God.

  Posted on May 1, 2012 by Grant in My Journey.

  I am working hard on my focusing ability in tournament play. Through past experience, I know that focusing on each shot individually is my key to shooting really low scores. However, focusing intensely on the shot at hand is easier said than done. When I am totally focused, I really enjoy the process and feeling […]

  Key to Confidence

  Posted on March 7, 2012 by Grant in My Journey.

  Three questions hold the key to true confidence and peace while swinging a golf club and while living life: 1. Is your set-up position correct? 2. Is your finish position correct? 3. Are you sure beyond a shadow of a doubt that you have the true answers to the first two questions? If you know […]
