112: The Simple Gratitude Trick to Play Better and Have More Fun

Wicked Smart Golf - A podcast by Michael Leonard

Your attitude is everything on the golf course (and in life). So many players have a bad attitude on the links and wonder why they don’t score like they want. To play better golf and set yourself up for a better mental game, change your attitude to gratitude.  Being grateful is something you control and can have a massive impact on your game. Here’s what Harvard Health said about the power of gratitude:  “In positive psychology research, gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships.” Gratitude equals happiness. If you’re happier on the golf course, you won’t get as frustrated or emotional, enjoy good shots more, feel better during and after the round, have the mental strength to deal with bad shots, and create better relationships. This comes from simply being grateful.  WICKED SMART GOLF RESOURCES  Work with Michael for Mental Golf Coaching  10X your confidence on the greens with the Look and Shoot Method.  Take your practice to the next level with my FREE mini-course: Practice Like a Pro.  Master your pre-shot routine in golf to save 3–5 shots per round: Join Pre-Shot Like a Pro.  Learn how to shoot lower scores every round (no swing changes): Score Like a Scratch Golfer.  Also, don’t forget to connect on social media: Follow on TikTok Follow on Instagram   Subscribe on YouTube Buy my golf book on Amazon (“Wicked Smart Golf: How to Play Better Golf and Shoot Lower Scores Without Changing Your Swing”) Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to get new episodes each week so you can play better without swing changes.
