Western approaches to golf instruction focus heavily on mechanical techniques inherited from Newtonian physics. This external emphasis overlooks crucial internal learning factors like fear, confidence issues, intuition, and awareness. Golf instruction has analyzed and dissected every external element of the game while neglecting important factors that obstruct natural learning processes. Players often become their own worst enemies despite possessing extensive technical knowledge and skills. Both in golf and daily life, progress remains limited without honest recognition of self-imposed internal obstacles. When players do recognize these barriers, they tend to judge themselves harshly and critically, which prevents improvement and action. Timothy Gallwey, author of the worldwide bestseller "El juego interior del tenis," examines how mental obstacles interfere with golf performance and learning.
