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.
