The high-speed video production shows his entire round in only four minutes\\u2014one of the most remarkable golf rounds ever played.

Inspired by the insights gained from the intuitive, reactive nature of Speedgolf, Christopher created his popular teaching system Train2Trust.com, and wrote the book, I\\u2019ve got 99 Swing Thoughts, But \\u2018Hit The Ball\\u2019 Ain\\u2019t One. Christopher talks about why most practice for golf and other sports could be a waste of time, how failure can help you get better, and plants an important term in your head that you won\\u2019t forget: Context Specificity\\u2014maximizing practice time and learning to focus intently on peak performance. He talks about how to make the future of golf faster, more fun, and less frustrating.
