How Mindset, Nutrition & Technology Improve Golf Performance
๐๏ธ From Scratch to 65: The Mindset & Strategy Behind a Breakthrough Round | Joshua Coates
What does it actually take to shoot 65?
In this episode of the Birdie Golf Club Podcast, I sit down with Joshua Coates to break down the principles that helped him reach a breakthrough round of 65 โ and the performance edge that separates scratch golfers from truly low scoring.
We explore how mindset, nutrition, recovery, technology and strategic systems like Scott Fawcettโs DECADE approach can unlock another level of performance.
This isnโt about rebuilding a swing.
Itโs about stacking marginal gains.
