Contrary to popular belief, golf is not an old man’s sport. It can be played by the young and old alike. However, it could be a rather technical sport to learn and master. The professionals on tour are mostly highly trained golfers. They have worked day in and night out on the swing, before competing on a world stage. 

However, certain golfers and individuals are simply gifted when it comes to the sport. One such golf player is Xander Schauffele. Every golfer has a coach who helps them fine-tune the game and teach them the techniques of the sport. Such professional coaches may come expensive. But Xander is probably one golfer who is to an extent self-trained and does not rely on coaches. 

Xander Schauffele Reveals Mantra for Short Game Confidence

Just like the term self-made is popular in the world of business, self-trained would be the term to use for a golfer like Schauffele. However, in a recent Instagram post made by Golf.com, the former world number one made a shocking revelation.

Dressed in a black crew neck T-shirt and cool cargo shorts in the video, Xander Schauffele was in his natural habitat, the golf course. 

In the clip, the golfer can be seen with a wedge in his hand and telling the host, “When you learn it yourself, you gain way more confidence.”

He admitted that he never took any training for his short game and has learned it all by himself by watching legendary golfers like Phil Mickelson. The Masters champion also suggested that everyone should practice as many different types of shots as they can to get a better feel of what works best for them.
