INTRO TO : Why Golf is the Greatest Mental Challenge There Is

Think deeply about the physical texture of almost any other sport played on earth. In basketball, tennis, or soccer, an athlete is locked in a fluid, breathless, and intensely reactionary dance. The ball is a dynamic streak of motion flying through the air, the opponent is actively invading your personal space, and your physical body is forced to respond instantly to a rapidly shifting environment. In those high-speed arenas, the conscious mind simply does not have the luxury of time to pause, deliberate, or second-guess. It naturally and gracefully shuts down its internal dialogue, steps aside, and hands the steering wheel entirely to deeply trained, automated physical instincts. But golf? Golf is an entirely different animal. #golf #mentalgame #golfpsychology
