The Biggest Mistake Golfers Make? They Only Prepare for Plan A | Mark Immelman (Part 2)

How Low Can You Go? Golf Podcast

About

🏌️ Most golfers only prepare for Plan A. The best golfers are ready for Plan B… and Plan C.

Most golfers spend all their practice preparing for the perfect round.

But what happens when Plan A disappears?

In Part Two of our conversation with renowned broadcaster, coach and author Mark Immelman, Mark shares a brilliant lesson from Sir Nick Faldo that might completely change the way you think about scoring. We explore what has become a recurring theme on How Low Can You Go - why preparing for your C-game might be more important than your A-game.

We also discuss the habits that separate the world’s best golfers from everyone else, and why better processes—not better scores—are the key to playing consistently better golf.

We also share exclusive on-course moments from our day with Mark on Scotland’s Golf Coast, including a short-game lesson with Dave, and a brilliant story involving legendary coach Butch Harmon.

If you’re serious about lowering your scores, this is an episode you’ll come back to time and time again.
