Because of the timely nature of the content, this is a replay of episode #363, which is part 1 of 2 published on December 25, 2012. Unfortunately, we had technical difficulties with our show this week featuring Ken Doherty. It was a great conversation, but it didn’t survive the recording process. So we will get him back soon to discuss his latest article “A Quiet Mind for Golf…I Hope I Don’t Miss This Shot”.
