Welcome to Golf Smarter Mulligans.

Your second chance to gain insight and advice from the best instructors featured on the

Golf Smarter podcast.

Great golf instruction never gets old. Our interview library features hundreds of hours

of game improvement conversations like this that are no longer available in any podcast app.

What you really have to have is a relationship with the target, not the target itself.

If you try to point perfectly towards something, your arm

and your hand will shake. If you try to hold a cup of coffee perfectly still, you'll spill

it. But if you just calmly find a relationship, it's like looking through a window and

where your hands end up is kind of like where the window is sitting. And you're trying to get your hands in a relationship with that target, not reach toward that target.

Just like firing a gun, you see the target, you're pointing a gun in relationship to that target, but you're not actually trying to get to the target.

I think that's another mistake people will do is they try to guide things toward a target.

You have no control over that golf ball, literally zero.

So what you've got to do is control what's within you.

And the only thing that's within you is this balance that comes to a finish in relationship to that target.

See it, feel it, do it, as told by Jimmy DeMara to Evan Dennis.

This is Golf Smarter.

Welcome back to the Golf Smarter podcast, Evan.
