If your desired internal state during your next round is fearlessness, contentment and confidence, then read this article about an approach to create freedom that has helped my players improve performance in tournaments.
Fear is in the imagination
Since the emotion of fear comes from predicting something that hasn’t happened yet, you could say that it only exists in your imagination and it’s not actually real. Because it’s somewhere in our minds that this round could go badly and negatively impact our future, it affects how we think and feel in the present.
We fear things such as missing out on qualifying, losing ranking points, and losing respect from others. Because we view these outcomes as harmful to us, they become bigger in our minds and we focus on what we can do to avoid that possibility, making us nervous and tense.
Something that is certain is that the outcome is always uncertain
Think about this. No matter how good you become, you will never have complete control over the outcome of your shots and your rounds. If the best players in the world can miss a 4ft putt, then this is just one small example of how unpredictable the outcome is and will always be.
In other words, there is a whole array of possible outcomes for every shot, every hole and every round. Your next round could be your best round ever. It could be a solid, steady round. It could be below average or you could shoot a high score. You just don’t know.

We all know Titleist dominates the PGA Tour when it comes to golf ball usage but just how much of an edge do they have? We took a closer look at the longest drivers on Tour and what we found was telling. Sixty-five percent of the top 20 longest hitters play a Titleist golf ball.
Top 20 longest PGA Tour golfers golf ball choice
Here are the top 20 longest drivers on the PGA Tour as of March 2025. Check out their average driving distance and the golf ball they have in play:

Seven of the top 20 longest drivers on the PGA Tour have the Pro V1 in play while six are using the Pro V1x. Titleist released the new 2025 versions of the Pro V1 and Pro V1x earlier this year. Here are the differences between the two.
| Feature | Pro V1 | Pro V1x |
|---|---|---|
| Flight | Lower | Higher |
| Feel | Softer | Firmer |
| Spin | Moderate | More |
| Best For | Balanced performance | Extra height & spin |
Titleist Pro V1
Who’s it for? Golfers looking for a softer-feeling premium urethane golf ball that offers good greenside spin.
Titleist Pro V1x
Who’s it for? Players who want higher ball flight, a slightly firmer feel and higher greenside spin rates.
We are just three weeks and change from the start of the 2025 Masters.
While some of you will be lucky patrons chowing down on pimento cheese sandwiches and hitting the most important spots of Augusta National, the rest of us will be watching the tournament on TV.
Either way, you want to know who is going to win the green jacket.
Betting odds have long existed as a way to handicap golf tournaments but a relatively new tool in the predictive market is AI.

Before you ask, we haven’t put every beginner package set through full launch monitor testing to see which one flies the farthest. But let’s be honest—a package set is a package set, designed for a specific type of player.
That said, not all package sets are created equal. Factors like club selection, price, material quality and overall value make some stand out. If you’re looking for the best beginner package sets, here are your top options along with reasons to consider them and what you’ll get for your money.
Vice Boost Starter Set
The Vice Boost Starter set is a brand-new option in 2025. It was released on March 4 and it’s specifically designed for golfers who don’t want the headache of piecing together a properly loft-gapped complete set.
Vice keeps it simple with a driver, hybrid, four irons, a pitching wedge, a sand wedge and a blade putter. A women’s Vice Boost Starter set is also available.
Set details
Clubs included: Driver, hybrid, 6 irons (6-9, PW, SW), blade putterShaft options: Graphite, steel, women’sWhat we like
Price point ($449): Affordable compared to many competitors.Data-driven design: Vice utilized HIO Labs data to optimize the set.Clean looks: Simple, modern aesthetics appeal to many golfers.Women’s option: Graphite shafts and proper women’s length.What we don’t like
No customization: Limited ability to tailor clubs to individual needs.Gap between hybrid and driver: Lack of a fairway wood creates a challenging distance gap.Stix Complete Golf Sets
I’ve played with the Stix Perform Club Set several times and, for a package set, it’s one of the best-looking options. The wedges have a nice feel and the putter performs better than expected.
As golfers age, they lose distance. It’s a part of the game that can be frustrating but it’s difficult to avoid. Even professional golfers who move to the Champions Tour give up at least a few yards. Losing distance is normal but there are things you could be doing that could cause you to lose even more distance. Here are three avoidable mistakes I see experienced (and often very capable) senior golfers making when they notice their yardages slipping.
Mistake 1: Setting up exactly like a young, high-speed player
Many seniors stick to the same setup they’ve used for decades. Others try to copy younger golfers who can swing at 110 or 120 miles per hour.
The standard “feet square, ball off your lead heel” approach might have worked in your prime. However, as you lose distance, flexibility and speed, the traditional setup may cause you to lose yardage by limiting your hip turn.
The fix:
Slightly close your stance: Set up normally, then drop your trail foot back slightly. This minor tweak increases your ability to turn without feeling forced.Move the ball forward: Having the ball closer to your lead shoulder (even off your big toe) encourages a positive angle of attack—hitting more on the upswing with the driver which adds carry and roll. You want those extra carry yards as you age.Tilt your lead shoulder up: At address, feel your lead shoulder rise slightly higher than your trail shoulder. This promotes a natural upward strike.Mistake 2: Locking everything down (too much tension)
If advice like “keep your lead arm straight,” “keep your head still” or even “keep both feet firmly planted” is starting to confuse you, it may be time to let go of those thoughts.
