Bogies2Birdies.com is dedicated to helping you both improve your golf game and use what you can learn about yourself from the game of golf for self-improvement and personal development off the course. Dr. Russ Newman, a psychologist, lawyer and avid golfer, uses golf as a tool for life coaching, executive coaching, resilience building and facilitating personal development.
Golf, to paraphrase noted sport psychologist Dr. Bob Rotella, is not a game of perfect—it’s a game of recovery. It requires resilience for optimum performance and provides numerous opportunities to build resilience. Learning to be more resilient, for example, can result in lower scores on the course and enhanced well-being off the course.
How you can take what you learn about yourself on the golf course and use it in your everyday life is briefly demonstrated in the video below and is the focus of numerous articles on this website under the menu heading “Play and Learn.” The coaching process is further described under the heading “Dr. Russ’s Perspective.” If you are interested in learning more about this process, contact Dr.Russ at dr****@************es.com.
