Dreamers and Doers: Two Sides of the Same Golf Ball
Here at Imagen Golf, we believe in the power of visualization. Picturing that perfect draw, the satisfying "thunk" as you connect with the sweet spot, the ball soaring through the air and landing softly on the green – it's all part of the game, right? But there's a subtle difference between being a dreamer and a doer on the golf course.
Let's explore:
The Dreamer:
- Lives in the "what if": They spend more time thinking about how great they could be than actually putting in the work.
- Blames external factors: Bad lie? Windy conditions? Dreamers find reasons for their shortcomings instead of taking ownership.
- Rarely practices: The driving range is an afterthought. Their swing exists mostly in their imagination.
- Focuses on results, not process: They're obsessed with their score and less concerned with improving their technique
The Doer:
- Takes action: They understand that improvement comes from consistent effort and dedicated practice.
- Embraces challenges: A tough lie is an opportunity to test their skills and problem-solving abilities.
- Seeks feedback: They're not afraid to ask for help from a coach or analyze their swing to identify areas for improvement.
- Focuses on the process: They understand that consistent effort and small gains lead to long-term success.
The good news?
Every golfer has a bit of both dreamer and doer within them. The key is to harness the dreamer's vision and channel it into the doer's action plan.
Here are a few tips to shift from dreaming to doing:
- Set realistic goals: Instead of fantasizing about shooting a 68, focus on improving your short game by 5 strokes.
- Create a practice routine: Consistency is key. Dedicate specific times each week to work on different aspects of your game.
- Track your progress: Keep a record of your scores, fairways hit, and putts per round to monitor improvement.
- Embrace the journey: Golf is a challenging game. Enjoy the process of learning and improving, even with the occasional setbacks.
So, which are you – a dreamer or a doer?
It's time to step onto the tee box and find out.

For years, you've been told to do a bunch of confusing things—like opening the clubface wide open and swiping across the ball—that just don’t work for the average golfer. It’s an old-school approach designed for old-school wedges. But at Imagen Golf, we don’t teach that. We teach the new-school bunker technique that the best players in the world are using every week to make bunker shots look easy. Players like Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, and Collin Morikawa have all ditched the old rules for a simpler, more powerful way to get the ball up and down.
