Here is a great quote from his website

"You see … before I became a golfer I was a pioneer in the executive coaching field, My experience working with professional athletes and corporate leaders revealed this truth: Feelings precede thoughts. Or, to put it differently, you can’t think positive when you feel negative."

Kent is a good golfer in his own right and he charts his own personal experiences of the game with a big following of players.

The first time we spoke it was clear that Kent and I shared many similar trains of thought.

In particular the importance of JOURNALING

We had a truly memorable conversation discussing the numerous benefits of being a regular journal taker.

It is something we have spoken about on this show and promoted heavily in the Mind Caddie app

We discussed

• The difference between THINKING about gratitude and actually FEELING it
• The ability to be playful when you are hitting your shots
• Why journaling can help us to balance out the overload of information that is coming at us in the modern world
• Why evolution got us to focus on the negative and our mistakes
• How our thinking patterns become so habitual and how journaling can help shift this
• Why BALANCE is so important from an evolutionary perspective
• Why journaling can help us to still get something out of a bad outcome day on the course
• The ability to develop spontaneous acceptance and to be able to be NEUTRAL to the variety of outcomes.
• The importance of acknowledging the GOOD shots and the good experiences
• If this was your LAST round of golf how would you want to experience it?

So much of what Kent says is based in real world experience and makes for that most elusive of qualities common sense. When you listen to him you realise just how precious this NEXT opportunity is to play the game.

Take the plunge and embark on a year of journaling and just see what it can do for your game.
