Hey Brian,
Another great Podcast. I really enjoy these segments. Concerning the "box" that we mentally stay in concerning our scores, I know of at least one mental coach who when students complain about some scoring barrier, he will make them play from the ladies tees until they break that barrier. It is amazing to watch the progression. At first they are embarrased to play from the tees and they don't get into it mentally, then after a few rounds they relax and get serious and will break their barrier. After that , their games and scores make a nice jump because they aren't scared to "go low" any more.
Keep up the good work.

Brian, liked the "breaking out of your scoring box" segment of the podcast. I usually play my club from the tips (6876) and typically shoot between 78-85. With the occasional 88-90 or 74-76. Anyway, took your advice moved up to the blues today for 9 holes and shot and birdied 9 to shoot an even 36.
I really want to shoot par, some time, but I just seem to psyche myself out of it. It's very tough to start getting yourself to thinking birdie instead of par...

Cool stuff...
When you talk about not teaching out the book, this is really not the case. This isn't even the case for all instructors because it is a manual and you cannot escape the need for compliance of principles for their stroke pattern. Because you just don't have as high a standard as Homer Kelley did of mechanical perfection by saying you don't teach out the book, isn't actually a selling point IMO. He showed ideals but never imposed them except by showing the limitations of non-compliance.

The book is a great piece of work, and the basis for 95% of what I teach.
But, when I say, "I don't teach outr of the book," what I mean is someone is not going to get chapter and section references, or strict adherance to ANYTHING but the three imperatives.
The "podcast" audience is much different than this one.
