Invest in controllables to steady your influence

The speaker describes a spillover effect between his circles. When a golfer spends too much focus, concern and worry on things they can't control, it tends to leak into the things they influence, their score, swing and leaderboard, in a negative way. When they instead invest in controlling the controllables, that tends to leak outward and let them influence those same things from a much calmer, more in-control, more together place.
