Continuing the sex hormone conversation, it’s time to break down how progesterone and estrogen affect your body, your mood, and your golf performance, for both men and women. Whether you’re feeling anxious, struggling to sleep, or noticing changes on the course, these hormones are sending signals that you shouldn’t ignore.
