This summer taught me something important that I need to focus on and remember: I need to chill more often. And this goes further than escaping the Missouri humidity - I find myself wrapped in anxiety and nerves that don't need to be there. Some anxiety and nervousness is natural - it will happen whenever…
Golf season is right around the corner, and for most of the summer, my swing has felt weird. Not bad, just weird. After hearing from a few people that have watched my swing and working on some things, my hands seem to be moving quicker than my body. I'm not in sync! When I was…
