Transform your mental game with expert coaching and well-tested tips, all while having fun!
HeadWay Golf shows players at every level how to train the tool that drives performance—the mind.
Through practical concepts, on‑course insights, and simple, repeatable drills, Mary Ann Modrak turns mental conditioning into habits that hold up under pressure.
You’ll develop mental skills the same way you refine putting, chipping, and full swings—schedule the work, track it, fine tune it. Learn to control what’s within your reach and recover quickly from mistakes. You'll build confidence that lasts far beyond a single round.
Control + Consistency = Confidence
I'm Mary Ann Modrak. My journey began with undergraduate and graduate studies in psychology and sociology. This enabled me to pursue a career in social service sectors, including juvenile justice and substance abuse programs. I also served with the Department of Justice, focusing on community well-being and development.
I have successfully participated in local, state, and national golf events. These include wins in The Golf Channel’s Golf Tour National Championships, local Club Championships, Florida State Golf Association Championships, and Top 10 finishes in the North South Senior Championship, Pinehurst Resort, NC. I qualified for the US Golf Association Senior Women’s Amateur Championship and, with my partner Katie, won the Florida State Special Olympics Golf Championship.
I've taken the lessons I've learned on and off the course to help others improve their skills and attitudes. As Bobby Jones famously said, “The most difficult golf course is the five inches between your ears.”
