Colton has been sending me short articles he has wrote now for a couple years. I highly encouraged him to start The Cog. This is some of the best information you are ever gong to find if you are into golf!

Finally!

I knew my swing was "good enough" to shoot in the low 80's but I didn't know how to get there. The Cog is such an amazing resource. Basically two days a week getting to work with a Sport Psychologist for free!

Shaving Strokes

There is so much in the mental golf space that is all about "feelings". The Cog actually gives you steps to get better. I have shaved a couple strokes already from reading these articles.
