THREAD: 1) Local golf enthusiasts: did you know that the World Scientific Congress of Golf happens this week in Abbotsford on the U of Fraser Valley campus? Many incredible learning opportunities for players/coaches. Check Golf Science for details.

2) highlights for day 1 (Wednesday July 11): from UNLV, Mark Guadagnoli will talk about optimal challenge and flow states in golf at 9am. Afternoon sessions include @scottfawcett presenting his workshop on the DECADE course management system. A must see!

"Most people don't play the way they'd like because they don't practice the way they should" says Mark Guadagnoli. Create an optimal challenge point for yourself or every individual golfer / athlete that you work with. Learning is 'struggle based'. #wscg2018

Thanks Ben. Lots of good information shared at the conference today. Grateful for the invite x.com/benlangdown/st…

Love this slide from Mark Guadagnoli excellent key note Golf Science U of Fraser Valley When we struggle we learn! Effective practice takes place at the challenge point so let’s get in the ugly zone then we can play better golf on the course! #WSCG2018

Excited to present again at this year‘s PGA summit. Looks like there are lots of good speakers. pga.org/articles/2019-…

Bummed. Just saw that they put the wrong title in for my PGA summit workshop. It should be “optimized practice for better score” not “what is choking?” Probably going to be an interesting conversation to start the workshop 😉

Watching Lynn Marriott and Pia Nilsson present on coaching. Remarkable information and wonderfully done presentation!

Hal Sutton just did an amazing presentation. Liquid gold. “Play Golf to have fun. Making birdies is my fun. I play to make birdie.”

Hal Sutton: “The problem with a lot of teachers is that they try to teach their perfect swing. They should teach your perfect swing. Teach the individual, not the swing.”

Sometimes the worst things to happen to us are the best things

In the ER, the man in the bed next to me died. It was devastating hearing the sadness and fear in his voice. God bless him and his family.

"Just one more drink" is never a good idea

Hating the other almost always destroys the hater

What do bathing, napkins, and deodorant have in common? Those who need them the most typically use them the least.
