You’ve heard your golf instructor says “let your arms hang naturally.” … but naturally looks different for everyone.

If you’re well endowed (like me):
Lock into a V shape with your arms, on top or slightly compressed. Underneath isn’t doing us any favors.

Try this with HALF SWINGS during your next range session and report back 🫡 🏌🏾‍♀️

Optimism is a choice. ❤️

Not because life is always easy, or because everything works out the way we hope. But… because even in the middle of uncertainty, I believe there’s still something beautiful to look forward to.

There was a time when I had no idea what my life would look like in a year, let alone a few years down the road.

While I couldn’t control everything happening around me, I could hold on to the possibility that there were still memories to make, places to explore, people to meet, and experiences I hadn’t even dreamed of yet.

And look at all the life I’ve gotten to experience since. 🥹

I don’t share this because every day is perfect or because I have it all figured out. I share it because sometimes we get so caught up in what life looks like right now that we forget it won’t always look this way.

Your current circumstances are not the entirety of your story.

So here’s your Friday reminder: Give yourself something to look forward to. Make the plans, try something new, find joy in the little things, and leave room for life to surprise you.

There’s still so much life left to live. 💖 by @manialysse

You, my friend, are making chipping WAYYY too complicated!

A good chip shot does not need 17 swing thoughts. I keep it simple with the same 5 step setup every time, so I can focus less on technique and more on where I actually want the ball to go… remember, boring and repeatable beats complicated every single time.

What part of chipping gives you the most trouble: contact, distance control, or picking your landing spot?

I’m learning that I don’t want to keep postponing experiences just because everyone else’s schedule doesn’t line up with mine.

Sometimes you take the trip, and sometimes you take yourself to dinner. Sometimes you spend the afternoon somewhere new just because you can.

Life is already happening! I’d rather experience it than keep waiting for the perfect time, the perfect plan, or the perfect person to come along.

I have beef with a golf course… and apparently it’s time to settle it. But… this time, I had a pretty good reason.

I had the opportunity to play on the Brewers Community Foundation team at the American Cancer Society Golf Classic (@americancancersociety) at Whistling Straits (@golfkohler)…. and yes… that meant another round with my personal arch nemesis: The Irish Course.

As someone who teaches golf for a living and gets the occasional “we need a ringer” call, I love a course that makes you think, demands good shots, and keeps you honest.

The Irish Course does all three… very aggressively. 😂

But beyond the golf, this day meant a little more. As a cancer survivor, getting to support the American Cancer Society while playing the game I love was incredibly special.

Huge thank you to Brewers Community Foundation for sponsoring our foursome and inviting me to be part of the team.

The course and I may or may not still have unfinished business… but the day? 10/10. 💙 by @manialysse

Not everything has to become a side hustle, a competition, or something you’re immediately good at.

Be like my athletes and sign up for a golf lesson or cook the recipe you keep saving on IG.

Being a beginner is GOOD FOR YOU.

Give yourself permission to do something this week simply because it sounds FUN.

Sometimes we think change has to come with a huge announcement… But it doesn’t!

You can wake up on a random Monday and decide you want more adventure, more movement, and more experiences that make you feel like you.

Life doesn’t have to become perfect before you start enjoying it.

This week, choose one thing that makes you feel a little more alive, AND GO DO IT.

That Crew Cup energy hits DIFFERENT.

Shoutout to the @golfbros_golfclub for putting together a day full of competition, community, good golf, and even better vibes. Y’all definitely know how to get a crew together!

We came ready to compete, talk a little trash 😂, and have a GOOD time doing it. These are the kinds of golf days I love!! When the score matters, but the people you get to share the course with make it even better.

And because y’all know the fit is part of the round too… 😌

Movement doesn’t always have to be about changing your body yall! Sometimes (and most of the time for me) it’s about celebrating that I get to use it.

Go take the walk on your lunch. Play the sport. Turn the music on in your living room. Go outside and get some sun on your face.

You don’t have to become a “fitness person.” 😂
Just give your body a chance to remind you how good it feels to be alive. 💖

What’s meant for me doesn’t require me to lose myself trying to get it.

This week, I’m choosing alignment over anxiety, trust over force, and reminding myself that I don’t have to perform for what already has my name on it.
Happy Monday. 🤍
