Become A Master of Variability

Just like everyday life, when we play a round of golf, there is a lot of unpredictability. There are endless possibilities for what could happen, that we don’t have control over. But what we can control (and our success depends on it) is how well we can manage our response to what happens, so we get the best out of ourselves in every round. 

This is why expectations don’t serve any purpose in golf. You can’t expect anything to happen. If you do, it will only lead to frustration. What you can expect is variability, so you may as well prepare for it and embrace it. 

The variability we get in golf is a good thing. In fact, it’s part of what keeps us coming back. If every round was 100% predictable, the game would be nowhere near as fun.

Top players have learned how to be adaptable and become Masters of Variability. For this reason, they feel fully prepared for anything that could happen and they are more confident as a result. 

That said, you don’t want to spend time worrying about what could happen. It’s better to allocate time to thinking about the possible variables and how you will manage them (and practice them), so you can be fully present during each phase of the round. Predicting variability and developing your plan to manage it should be an ongoing part of your “process”.

Testers Wanted: Byrdie Golf Design

Testers Wanted!

It can be hard to keep track of all the new brands entering the golf equipment market. Equally, it is very difficult for those same brands to get noticed. That’s where we come in. For this Testers Wanted opportunity, we are introducing Byrdie Golf Design, a company focused on building golf clubs for a community of golfers looking to enjoy the sport without spending a fortune.

Byrdie Golf Design Clubs

We have a unique testing opportunity with Byrdie Golf Design. Products across their whole lineup will be put to the test including the BGD Essential full bag of golf clubs.

Within their line of golf clubs, Byrdie Golf offers the Gilmore Collection that includes a driver and fairway wood, as well as several iron sets. We have four iron sets that are being made available for testing (the OG, Vandal, Goat and Divot Collections). Finally, applicants can register for the Byrdie Golf Design Grind wedges.

Byrdie Golf Design has put a focus on the amateur golfer, which is evident by the Club Finder Quiz. The quiz is less analytical and more focused on who you are as a golfer. There is a clear tone when taking the quiz that golf should be fun and enjoyable. While the products and performance definitely matter, the enjoyment of being on the course and part of the golfing community should be equally as important.

What Is Being Tested?

We are seeking four golfers to test, review and keep one of the available Byrdie Golf Design products. We want to know how these products perform and how the golf clubs stack up, given their value-based pricing. Should these be the next set for golfers looking to enter the sport? Can they hold their own against  bigger brands? We want you to tell us!
