33: Kiel Alderink on the "Zone" and How Personality Affects Performance

About this episode

If you're like most golfers, you want to know how to get in the zone more often? The "Zone" is when things feel easy on the golf course and you're in a flow state.

Tiger Woods once talked about being in the zone and said he was so in it at times that he would not even remember hitting certain shots during the round. Chances are, you've been there too... even if it was only for a few shots or a few holes. 

This guest interview will change the way you play golf forever by helping you get in the zone.

Let me introduce today's guest... 

Kiel Alderink is the Head Performance Coach of Mental Golf Type. He is the Director of Instruction at The Academy at Black Creek in Chattanooga, TN and also remains a co-owner of his junior academy Champion Ways in Lake Bluff, IL.
