S5 Ep 1: Drive

Past Reflections

Mike Shade and Eli Strait reflect on the previous season's shortcomings, acknowledging a loss of focus and misaligned priorities. Mike recalls a moment of realization during a golf trip, where the urgency of their goals became apparent, yet they felt unprepared to meet them. This reflection led them to recognize the need for intentional planning and commitment to their golfing objectives.

We had screwed up our golf priorities. And sure, there were things that happened last year that were outside of our control, but at the end of the day, we're tired of the excuses. This is season five and this is the year we're figuring it out.

Eli emphasizes the importance of being deliberate with their time to avoid repeating past mistakes 1.

   

Season Start

Season five kicks off with Mike and Eli determined to protect their time and set clear goals. They have made significant changes to their schedules, prioritizing key golfing months and saying no to distractions. With guidance from Dr. J, they have outlined specific, measurable goals, including improving their golf metrics and mental game.

For the first time ever, we got very specific on our calendar. We said no to things. We would have normally said yes to all to prioritize and to protect playing our home courses in the key spring and summer months.

--- Mike Shade

Eli and Mike are committed to transforming their weaknesses into strengths and competing mentally in every round 2 3.
