Noticing the silence in a busy world is a gift. It’s always present, but sometimes we are too loud to hear it.

Things I’ve learned recently:

1. You can’t accept others if you don’t accept yourself first
2. Don’t underestimate “play” time (as in spontaneous, fun time) - it’ll spill over into work time
3. I love, I mean looove making brownies

I often get the question how I translate being artistic to playing golf.
Even though in my art I am very visual & I see what I like to paint in advance, in golf I feel my shots more than I see them.
Feeling how the shot comes off the club face in advance is how I create it.

Oftentimes doing less is more. Our mind likes to trick us into more problem solving, over-thinking and analyzing. But how can a busy mind focus on the target? Keep it simple, quiet and relaxed.

3 tips for better chipping:

1) hit the shot closest to the ground whenever you can

2) as a rule of thumb: fly it 1/3 and run it 2/3

3) hit the shot your first instinct tells you to, even if that means disregarding rule 1) & 2) ☺️

Best tip I’ve received to prepare for tournament play:

- practice and emulate tournament play like your life depends on it during the weeks preceding
- play like you don’t care during the week of the tournament

We all get distraught in thoughts and emotions. That is not the problem. What matters is the time it takes to get back to the present moment. The shorter that time, the better our performance.

How do you bring your range swing to the course?

1. Simplify your technical thoughts into one single feel, ideally connected to the target

2. Practice this feel on the range by simulating pressure situations

3. Practice this feel and on the course

There is no short-cut.

I think that sometimes accepting the worst possible scenario, frees us up to be fully present and able to receive the best possible scenario 🙌🏻
