    Don’t Quit: Overcoming the Challenges of Golf

    In this episode, we dive deep into the struggles and frustrations that lead so many golfers—especially beginners—to quit the sport. Did you know that 75% of new players quit because their expectations don’t match reality? Golf is a challenging sport, and we’re here to remind you: don’t quit.Our Guest today is Melissa Jackson and she shares her personal journey with golf, including moments of deep frustration and being on the verge of quitting. She explains how pushing through adversity taught her valuable lessons both on and off the course.We discuss golf and adversity in detail. Golf is a unique sport that challenges even seasoned athletes. It’s technical, mental, and deeply humbling. Progression in golf is slow; new players are considered a beginner if they have been playing golf less than 5 years.  It takes time for movements to feel natural and consistent.We speak on the Perfectionist Struggle. Perfectionists often face the biggest hurdles because golf demands patience and acceptance of imperfection. Learning to embrace mistakes is key to long-term success in the sport.The number one reason people quit golf early is the disparity between expectations and reality. We want our listeners to understand that struggles are universal—golf is hard for everyone, regardless of skill level or athletic background. Also, ebb and flow of progress in golf improvement isn’t linear. There are highs, lows, and plateaus. Embrace the journey and celebrate small victories along the way.We are passionate about helping golfers, especially beginners, push past their challenges. No matter how tough it gets, do not quit. Growth takes time, and every golfer faces adversity—it’s part of the game. Tune in now to hear inspiring advice from Melissa Jackson and learn how to stay motivated through the ups and downs of golf.Stay connected with us by following us on Facebook and Instagram @talkbirdietomepodcastThank you for tuning in and referring your friends to our show!
