How Becoming the Master Changed Jacqui’s Approach to Golf — and Life
A reader’s experience of rediscovering enjoyment, perspective and self-belief through golf.
“When the student is ready, the master appears.”
For Jacqui, returning to golf later in life became much more than simply trying to improve her game. After not playing since childhood, she returned to golf at the age of 59 and quickly became focused on getting better.
But despite practising regularly and taking lessons, the game was often leaving her frustrated rather than fulfilled.
That began to change when she met Jesse.
Jacqui’s Review
“I truly believe Jesse came into my life when I needed a master the most. After not playing golf since I was a child, I returned to the game at 59 and quickly became obsessed with improving. But despite all the practice and lessons, golf was often making me miserable.
When I met Jesse, I began to realise that many of my struggles were more in my head than in my golf.
When Becoming the Master on the Course and in Life was released, I read it from front to back in one weekend. It helped me understand that golf can be a reflection of ourselves. A bad round no longer had to mean I wasn’t good enough.
Through the book and working with Jesse, I have learned to let go of judgement, focus on each shot, and appreciate what the course is teaching me — the wind, the grass, the lie of the ball, and most importantly, the joy of playing.
This book has changed the way I approach golf and, in many ways, the way I approach life. It has helped me understand that my self-worth is not determined by a scorecard.
Whether you are looking to improve your golf, deepen your self-awareness, or simply find more joy in the game, I highly recommend Becoming the Master on the Course and in Life. It will enrich your life in more ways than one.”
