Progressive Overload

Work on your game the same way you would when learning any other skill.

In the gym, you start with an empty bar and gradually add weight each week. When learning an instrument, you begin with a single note before building up to full songs. Golf should be no different.

Apply that same principle to your practice. It may feel like a slower approach, but in reality it often leads to faster, more lasting improvement.

Set realistic expectations and time frames, and find ways to enjoy the process along the way. This helps you commit to improving over the long term.

Done correctly, this approach almost guarantees progress, as long as you’re working on the right concepts.
