Welcome to The Opening Tee Shot

Hello my friends and thanks for joining me here. Can you believe we're already into November and almost in full holiday mode? 

This week our family is headed to watch our son play in the Palmetto Amateur, which takes place not too far up in the road in Aiken, South Carolina. The weather looks beautiful and we're so excited to watch this event we've never seen before. 

Don't forget, if your junior golfer is signing their commitment letter on Nov. 12th then please make sure you tag @juniorgolfplaybook and we will share it with our audience.

✔️ Brand new Coach's Corner

"Don’t shy away from being nervous — welcome it. Those feelings are your body’s way of telling you you’re ready to go." 

I'm excited to share our latest edition of the Coach's Corner with you today. If you've hung around Junior Golf Playbook for a while, then you've likely seen us work with Tripp Isenhour before. He provides so much insight from his career as a former tour player and as an analyst for the Golf Channel.

Many of you might not realize Tripp is also a Golf Performance Coach. He works with numerous junior and collegiate golfers to optimize their golf game, especially the mental game. You can find more information here on The Tournament Mindset series and at GapGolfCoach. 

In this week's edition, Tripp brings us his in-depth knowledge on the mental game for junior golfers. He talks nerves, recovering from bad shots, what parents can do for support, and much more. Read the full article here.
