Bill Murray says this golf book is helping him lower his handicap

Mental game is often what separates good players from the big ones. If you want to lower your handicap, you have to work on the mental side as much as you work on the physical and technical aspects of your game.

While it may sound quite simple, it can be quite difficult to refine mental game, as many amateurs find. Concentrated staying and maintaining a positive mentality is quite difficult when trying to manage pressure, expectations, ego and a surplus of emotions.

But in a recent podcast episode Joe Rogan, Bill Murray revealed the book that has helped him better manage his mental game and even lower his handicap.

In the video, Murray says he is reading “Every blow should have a purpose” by Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott, two of 100 main recipients of golf achievement.

“It’s about calming your brain when you play,” says Murray, “he (book) made me enjoy golf even more.”

Nilsson and Marriott are best known for their high -performance training system, Vision54, which has helped the likes of Annika Sorenstam and the leading champions Ariya Jubanugarn, IK Kim, Susann Pettersen, Grace Park, Na Yeon Choi, Brittany Lang and Yani Tseng.

“Shot stroke should have a purpose,” is a great resource for players seeking to integrate the physical, technical, mental, emotional and social parts of the game.

Of the many practical applications mentioned in the book, there is one that Murray says he helped him the most: the concept of the box/game box, which has helped Murray learn to be more intentional with his focus on the course.

“The way the ability to pull the weeds from your head,” says Murray, “You know, it’s a few hours to play a round of golf, as you say requires you a long time, but the actual play of the game is just minutes. The actual ball hit is just minutes.”

“You have the freedom between the shooting to move and speak and show jokes and smoke and whatever you want to do, but when you want to hit the ball, you have to think and make a small plan,” says Murray, “you get it inside and then divide it and you grow and hit you.
