Bill Murray Shares His Approach To Golf
Bill Murray previously discussed how he approached golf and stayed focused during each shot.
Bill previously spoke about his relationship with the sport during an appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast.
He discussed how authors Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott influenced the way he approaches each shot, via Golf Digest.
"They wrote a great book called 'Every Shot Must Have a Purpose.' Did you read that one? Well, I should talk about them because they really are onto something, and it’s about quieting your brain when you play," Bill said.
"I’ve always had a lot of fun, but that made me enjoy golf even more," he added.
Bill Murray explained how he cleared his mind before hitting a golf shot.
Bill also explained how he tries to stay focused during the moments that matter.
"It’s decluttering … Everything that distracts you from [hitting a shot] is a problem. So it’s the ability to just pull the weeds out of your head, as I read a Japanese man say once, and attend to it when you attend to it. It’s a few hours to play a round of golf, like you say, it takes time. But the actual playing of the game is only minutes. The actual hitting of the ball is only minutes," he said.
"You have the freedom in between the shots to move and to speak and tell jokes and smoke cigars and whatever you want to do," Bill continued.
"But when you want to hit the ball, this is about: you’re going to think, make a little plan, and you separate that," he added.
