Описание: UPDATE: I have decided to start anew on Instagram. Follow me @thepaulsalter (  / thepaulsalter  ) for your daily dose of high-performance wisdom, insights, and actions.


Today's episode is a candid, no-BS monthly check-in on my own golf journey—the good, the bad, and the uncomfortable middle.


Over the last 30 days, I've made more long putts and birdies than ever… and also racked up a painful number of triple bogeys. It's been frustrating, humbling, and oddly encouraging all at once.


In this episode, I pull back the curtain on what's actually happening beneath the surface—technically, mentally, and emotionally—as I continue the pursuit of scratch. If you've ever felt like you're doing the work but the results aren't showing up fast enough, this one's for you.


In this episode, you'll learn:


• Why progress often looks like "two steps forward, three steps back" before it clicks

• The real reason I'm hemorrhaging strokes off the tee—and how I'm fixing it

• How at-home putting became the biggest confidence (and scoring) game-changer

• The hidden cost of "playing bogey golf" as an identity and why I'm ditching it

• The exact process and weekly variables I'm tracking to stay committed and objective


Get your pencils ready and start listening.

Key Takeaways:


• Progress isn't linear—breakthroughs and breakdowns often coexist in the same season.

• Consistency in fundamentals beats chasing new fixes when pressure exposes old patterns.

• Putting confidence can save rounds, momentum, and belief—even when ball-striking lags.

• Playing "bogey golf" as an identity can quietly cap your potential and reinforce settling.

• Real improvement requires patience, repetition, and staying committed when results feel delayed.


Key Quotes:


• "I'm making more birdies than ever—and also more triple bogeys. Frustrating, to say the least."

• "If it feels comfortable, it's probably wrong—because comfort is usually my old pattern."

• "Putting has saved me more strokes than any swing thought ever has."

• "I caught myself playing not to screw up instead of playing to execute—and I'm done with that."

• "This game isn't just exposing my swing; it's exposing where I'm still settling."
