Why Your Golf Swing Isn't Getting Better (It's Your Brain, Not Your Body)

You've watched the YouTube tutorials. You've taken lessons. You've spent countless hours on the driving range. Your swing looks better on video, but your scores aren't improving. Sound familiar?

Here's the uncomfortable truth most instructors won't tell you: The problem isn't your grip, your stance, or your follow-through. It's how your brain is processing and implementing those changes.

After 15 years studying how people learn and applying these principles to golf instruction, I've discovered that most golfers are practicing in ways that actively fight against how our brains actually develop skills.

In this article, I'll explain:

• Why traditional "repeat until perfect" practice methods actually reinforce your mistakes
• The cognitive interference that happens when you try to make multiple swing changes simultaneously
• How your brain creates false patterns that sabotage your progress
• The "contextual learning gap" that makes range performance rarely transfer to the course
• A simple practice framework based on cognitive learning science that can break through your plateau

If you're tired of hitting the same frustrating shots despite doing everything your instructor told you to do, this isn't just another mechanics article—it's about rewiring how your brain approaches the game.
