The Opposite of Anger: Gratitude in Golf

In episode 3 of Season 2 of the “Full Swing” on Netflix, Wyndham Clark talked about some of his strategies for managing emotions during the 2023 US Open (that he won).

He spoke of creating an internal state which is “the opposite of anger”, which clearly helped him deal with the moments in the round where he would have felt that emotion (there is a lot at the US Open). In this week’s lesson, we’ll explore some ways that you can do it too.

The unpredictable tapestry of emotions that we get to experience in a round of golf is one of the reasons the game has such appeal. We simply don’t know what we’re going to get and how we will feel.

We can experience the thrill and excitement of hitting a great drive, or seeing a 20-footer go in.We can experience the satisfaction of a good score or a sense of pride and achievement from winning.We can experience the sinking disappointment of seeing a short putt lip out.We can experience the frustration and anger of hitting a ball out of bounds and adding 2 shots to our score when we are in a good position.

Tennis legend, Novak Djokovic says:

“The biggest battle is always within. You can’t be positive all the time. You are a human being [you will feel negative emotion and doubts]. The biggest difference between champions and the ones who struggle to get to the highest level, is the ability to not stay in those emotions for too long.”

Testers Wanted!

Galway Bay recently released a new jacket and pants with an impressive 30,000 waterproof rating, double that of their previous rating. They claim that, despite this impressive improvement, the fabric remains breathable and comfortable and does not restrict movement during any round.

“All Galway Bay jackets and pants are made from our proprietary fabric, Galway Bay Hydro-Flex 32. This breakthrough material is a three-layer fabric with double durable water repellent coating. It includes Teflon, that’s designed to not only keep water from getting in but to allow sweat to get out.”

Testers Wanted: Terra Forza Golf Shafts

Testers Wanted!

Can the proper golf shaft for your driver be determined solely by how you use the ground in your swing? This Testers Wanted opportunity with Terra Forza Golf Shafts will find out!

About Terra Forza

Terra Forza has taken a new approach to shaft fittings and flexes. Let’s hear about their claims directly from them.

“Our theory revolved around the idea that how a golfer loads and unloads a shaft is directly correlated to how they use the ground. After many years of studying ground reaction forces (GRF) and pressure traces, Terra Forza Golf was born, validating that theory. After some trial and error, we were able to create a line of golf shafts that matched a golfer’s pressure trace and pressure data. Our patented algorithm allows us to recognize those traces. Along with all of the pressure data coming from the TF Pressure Plates. And objectively determine the proper shaft for any golfer. We welcome you to the new ERA of fitting shafts, from the ground up.”

What Is Being Tested

For this testing opportunity, we are searching for four golfers to not only test, review and keep a Terra Forza golf shaft but also evaluate the company’s fitting method.

Selected testers will be fitted with the TF Pressure Plates system and be provided with the Terra Forza driver shaft that suits them best.
