Introduction: The Hidden Game

## Introduction: The Hidden Game You've probably experienced this: You hit the ball beautifully on the range, but struggle on the course. Or you play great when nothing's on the line, but fall apart in competition. Or you start a round well, then one bad hole derails everything. **What's going on?** The difference isn't your swing mechanics or physical ability. It's something happening between your ears. Golf is actually two games: 1. The outer game - your swing, your equipment, your technique 2. The inner game - your thoughts, emotions, and mental approach **Most golfers spend 95% of their time on the outer game and 5% on the inner game.** **Yet the inner game determines at least 80% of your results.** This book will teach you how to master the game you can't see - the one that happens in your mind.
