114. How to Make Your Bad Days Not So Bad

Welcome back to Stock Shot Secrets! In this episode, host Kyle Morris dives into the mental side of golf, sharing one of the most powerful tools to help you bounce back from your not-so-great rounds: post-round journaling. Kyle breaks down the importance of reflecting on your play, realistically understanding what counts as a “good shot,” and setting the right expectations for your game. He explains how acknowledging both the highs and lows—and learning from your mistakes—can help you lengthen your emotional wick, build resilience, and prevent one bad hole from turning into a string of disasters. Plus, Kyle introduces his favorite “3-2-1” journaling framework to help you process your rounds more effectively, remember your best moments, and keep your golf game on track—even when things go sideways. Get ready to learn why keeping your expectations in check, venting your frustrations, and focusing on the right things not only helps you play better, but also makes your bad days on the course a lot less painful.
