Golf is supposed to be relaxing… but clutter can mess with your head.
I didn’t realize how much the junk in my bag and pockets was draining my focus until I read a Psychology Today article that hit home: clutter increases anxiety, overwhelms our senses, and distracts us from performing at our best.
That’s when I started simplifying — starting with something small… my golf tees.
I used to carry a pocket full of wooden tees. Now? Just one.
This is the Fire Away Tee — nearly indestructible, especially with my 105 mph swing speed. Tilt it forward 5° and you’ll reduce friction, gain distance, and hit more fairways, but that performance is on you.
At nearly $5 a tee, I didn’t want to lose it — so I made a little anchor (aka tee leash) to keep it close. I also switched to white tees since I’m red-green colorblind, and the red ones would disappear on the green tee box grass.
One tee. One less thing to worry about.
Less clutter = less stress = more focus on every swing.
Instead of scrambling for tees or overloading my pockets, I now carry one for my tee shot using my driver, use broken tees for par 3s, and might even leave the other tee holder slots empty unless Ky at Tee Time Leather has some other ideas.
Whether you’re dialing in your pre-round routine, managing golf anxiety, or just want to lighten your load — this small change made a big difference in my game.
All this clutter messes with my head, triggers anxiety, and kills my focus on the golf course. I’ve decided to simplify things. Starting with the TE’s. From now on, I’m using just one Fireway TE since it’s nearly indestructible, especially with my average swing speed. I’ll tilt it forward to increase distance and have some better accuracy, but that performance is on me. I also switched to white TE’s because I’m red green color blind and I couldn’t see the red T’s on the green grass. They’re five bucks a tea and so yeah, I made a little leash to keep them close. One tea, less clutter and less chaos in my head. I’m simply looking for calm and fun on the golf course and the Fireway tea is helping me do just that. What could you eliminate from your golf
