Continued practice and repetition of the basics are important for improvement. Having a swing coach can be beneficial at different stages of the golfing journey. Breath work can help in slowing down and maintaining calm and focus during a round. Key Quotes: "I can see tangible progress being made in multiple aspects of my game."
