Everybody is talking about Nelly Korda’s golf swing.

And they should.

It’s one of the best swings in the game.

But that’s not what won her the U.S. Women’s Open.

I walked alongside her for 54 holes at Riviera.

Her ball striking wasn’t at its absolute best.

What impressed me most was her scrambling.

Time after time she saved pars.

Time after time she kept momentum alive.

And throughout the week her attitude never changed.

No frustration.

No panic.

No emotional roller coaster.

Just patience and ex*****on.

That’s a lesson every golfer can learn.

Short game wins majors.

And attitude determines how often your talent gets to show up.

One of the biggest mistakes golfers make is attaching too much meaning to individual putts.

“This is for birdie.”

“This is for par.”

“I have to make this.”

The best players learn to treat every putt the same.

Every putt is its own entity.

Same process.

Same commitment.

Same trust.

And when it comes to reading greens, Dr. Bob Rotella has always taught something that great putters understand:

Trust your instincts.

The more you overthink a putt, the harder putting becomes.

Simple.

Powerful.

Timeless advice from Dr. Bob Rotella.

Spot the Invisible Club.

Most golfers play practice rounds trying to shoot a score.

The best players use them to prepare.

Watch Nelly Korda during a practice round at the U.S. Open.

She’s not just hitting shots.

She’s preparing for future situations.

Bunker shots.

Lag putts.

Miss locations.

Recovery shots.

And when those situations show up during the tournament...

She’s already seen them.

That’s where real confidence comes from.

Not hope.

Preparation.

That’s the Invisible Club.

Another elite player.

Another vote for Player B.

Tommy Fleetwood’s answer stood out to me because he didn’t say speed wasn’t important.

He said Player B was built for the toughest golf courses.

That’s a completely different conversation.

When conditions get difficult...

When pressure increases...

When major championships are on the line...

The separators become:

• wedges
• short game
• scoring
• emotional control

The best players in the world keep telling us the same thing.

The question is:

Are we listening?

If I Knew Then...

One of the best players in the world reflecting on what he wishes he understood earlier.

The mental game isn’t something elite players figure out after they arrive.

It’s something they learn along the way.

Every great player eventually discovers a few truths they wish they had understood sooner.

Today, it’s Scottie Scheffler’s turn.

There’s a lot of wisdom packed into a short answer.

Don’t get too up or too down when you play.

He also adds that you should have fun and enjoy your time competing!

Spot the Invisible Club.

Most golfers think a pre-shot routine is just a habit.

The best players in the world know it’s much more than that.

A great routine creates consistency.

It creates commitment.

It creates trust under pressure.

Watch Wyndham Clark’s routine in two completely different situations.

Same pace.

Same process.

Same commitment.

That’s not accidental.

That’s trained.

And that’s one of the reasons great players can perform under pressure when everyone else starts to tighten up.

The routine doesn’t guarantee perfect shots.

It gives you your best chance to hit them.

Why do so many golfers play great in practice…

But struggle when the tournament starts?

Because under pressure, most players stop trusting what they’ve trained.

They get tighter.
They start guiding the golf ball.
They start trying not to mess up.

That’s not a swing problem.

That’s a competitive identity problem.

The best players in the world don’t rise to the occasion under pressure…

They fall back on what they’ve trained themselves to believe, trust, and expect.

That’s what the Invisible Club is all about.

Training the part of your game nobody sees…

But the part that controls everything when it matters most.

Comment QUIZ if you want to find your competitive identity.

Most golfers think greatness comes from talent.

The best players in the world know better.

Rory immediately understood the profiles because elite players learn something over time:

Pure talent alone doesn’t hold up under pressure.

What separates great players long term is:
• wedge play
• short game
• putting
• emotional control
• consistency
• mental resilience

The crazy part?

Those are all trainable skills.

Everybody wants to BE Player A…

But the champions build the Player B skills.

“If I Knew Then.”

A new series with PGA Tour players sharing what they wish they understood earlier about the mental game.

First up: Wyndham Clark.

A few days after this conversation…

He went on to shoot 30-under and win on the PGA Tour.

There’s always wisdom in how great players learn to think.

05/23/2026

Spot the Invisible Club.

Everybody thinks elite players play perfect golf.

They don’t.

Scottie Scheffler almost drives it out of bounds.

Misses another green.

Still keeps complete control of the round.

Why?

Because great players:

• minimize damage
• manage misses
• stay emotionally neutral
• capitalize on opportunities

That’s elite golf.

That’s the Invisible Club.
