Hey @Coles who do I contact to make a complaint? I ordered online delivery. After 2 emails, 1 phone call, 1 online chat, they all told me it was delivered. Then another online chat, after 1 hour, confirmed they delivered to the wrong address. 4 days later. Not even an apology.

@cgolfcdriven Took me 10 months to go from 24 to 9. Playing twice a week and hitting balls twice a week.

@MyGolfSpy Love my CaddyTalk, small, fast, accurate. Battery lasts 50 rounds before charge. Triangulation 🥳

[Rob Skinner @RobSkinnerA]

@boringmarketer Love it 😍

@sendle I don’t think you are understanding the issue. It is taking 7 days to ship 22 kilometers in Sydney. Seems crazy.

[Rob Skinner @RobSkinnerA]

Hey @sendle why does it take one week to send a package 15 kilometers in Sydney Australia?

[Rob Skinner @RobSkinnerA]

@sendle An update. The delivery date has been moved out. Package is going to take 7 days to be delivered. I could drive there in 25 minutes. I could walk there in 4 hours. @sendle promise is cheap shipping, I’d rather pay more and actually have it delivered. @Shopify Australia

[Rob Skinner @RobSkinnerA]

@sendle I have been waiting on chat for 40 minutes

[Rob Skinner @RobSkinnerA]

@LouStagner I agree. My mate lost it. Snapped a club. Wanted to go after 9. But I was playing well and I needed him to score me. He played the back 9 with his wedge. We did not play together again for a loooooong time

[Rob Skinner @RobSkinnerA]

@Minwoo27Lee So good. 🔥🔥🔥

[Rob Skinner @RobSkinnerA]

Amen 🙏

[Mental Golf Coach @joshlukenichols]

The #1 thing players bring up that they want to improve is moving on from bad shots

By far and away this is what I talk about most in 1-on-1 mental coaching sessions

So as I like to do, I respond with a question:
Why is it hard for you to move on from bad shots?

This can go several different directions, but the most common answer has something to do with frustration

But that's not deep enough. We've gotta know what the source of the issue is

So I ask something like "Why are bad shots frustrating?"

And eventually we get to the bottom of it

Which is usually something to do with how they see themselves as a golfer, and a person

If you believe that in order to be the golfer you see yourself as you need to hit every shot well, then yeah you're going to be frustrated and that bad shot is going to stick with you

And then you're going to double down on the next one and feel like you absolutely for sure have to hit this next one good or your view of yourself as the type of player who plays good will crumble

Instead, seeing yourself as a work in progress is one of the best mentality shifts to have in order to uproot the unhelpfully constricting identity we create

Needing things to go a certain way to be happy is a sure fire way to play really protective and scared

Being ok that things won't go perfectly, and no golfer no matter how good they are will play perfect golf

Also- quit watching golf highlight reels, those aren't helping the identity expectations 😆

[Rob Skinner @RobSkinnerA]

The surface area of luck increases if you get more shots on goal, you're well-positioned, you have a long time horizon, you have access to a network of successful people, and you mix curiosity, energy, and integrity.

@LouStagner Don’t throw anything

[Rob Skinner @RobSkinnerA]

@bentigg Find a compromise. Somewhere in the middle.

@ryanmouquegolf Thanks Ryan. I agree there are certainly lots of training aids.
