A Golf Mental Coach for The Cost of A Pen and Notebook

Whether it’s at the end of each day or at the end of a round, a Post Round Review or “reflection” is important for the following reasons:

We get to celebrate our successes and foster a more positive association with our game, or areas of our gameWe get to understand what in our process or the work we’ve been doing is leading to those successes. Success leaves clues…We get to understand the setbacks and failures we had, so we can learn from them and move on from them

In this mental game of golf lesson, I’m going to show you the daily journaling template that I use every day, whether I’ve played golf or not. If you follow this template, you’ll have a golf mental coach to speak to each evening for the cost of a notepad and pencil.

A Golf Mental Coach to Speak to Each Day

In your journal or notebook, start a new page each day and write beneath these headers:

1. Celebrate Success and Joy

What were the best moments of your round or day? Write down as many moments of joy that you experienced. This could be a great shot, a pattern of play or something about your mental approach e.g. my wedge play was very good, my attitude was positive, etc.

It could even be something about the experience unrelated to your game but that you can also be grateful for e.g., the color of the sky, the sun setting or the beauty of the course.

Golf Ball Test: Wet Versus Dry Spin

As we mentioned at the start of our 2023 Golf Ball Test report, the golf ball matters.

It’s the only piece of equipment you use on every shot and that could make it the single most important piece of equipment in your bag.

That said, it’s not lost on us that differences in golf ball performance can sometimes be difficult to discern. Given the challenges of deciphering ball performance in normal conditions, we don’t imagine many golfers have given much thought to how performance changes when moisture is introduced into the equation.

No worries. We’ve got you covered.

As part of our 2023 Golf Ball Test, we had the opportunity to compare golf ball performance on full wedge shots in dry and wet conditions.

The Testing Opportunity

In fact, the original Sugar Golf Ball was one of the lowest-ever rated balls in the series. However Sugar aimed to change this with the release of the new Sugar Pure G2 Golf Ball stating significant improvements in all areas.

The Best Golf Pants You’ve Never Heard Of

There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised. 

What We Tried:

KJUS Breton Pants: Unlike typical rain pants, the KJUS Breton pants are designed to be worn on their own, not on top of your clothing.

Who Tried It:

Connor. Director of Soft Goods Testing and resident sneakerhead. I believe golf is better with a pair of cool shoes and comfortable joggers. I’ve never been a big rain-gear guy because I don’t like having multiple layers. The KJUS Breton pants intrigue me because they’re designed to be worn like ordinary golf pants.

What You Should Know

Available in two colors: Atlanta Blue or Steel GreyRetail $399Eight waist sizes and three inseam optionsDesigned to feel and play like an everyday golf pant or trouserDWR finish for hydrophobicity 

What’s the Big Deal about Pants? 

The KJUS Breton waterproof pants aren’t your everyday rain pants. As mentioned, this slick pair of pants is nearly indistinguishable from your typical golf attire. Traditional rain gear is baggy, bulky and designed to fit over your shorts or pants. 

This means that, if there’s any chance of rain on the course, you’ve got to pack extra gear and be prepared to throw it on at a moment’s notice. See where this is heading? The KJUS Breton waterproof pants negate this step. If there’s any chance of rain in the forecast, you can wear the Breton pants instead of your go-to pants and feel confident that you’re protected from the rain.
