The Mental Golf Show

Control

How many of us try to control things we cannot control? Things that are not truly our responsibility? The more I talk about and discuss with players about the mental game, this is becoming one of the most important mental game topics that makes the most difference for the most people.

The Temptation to Tamper with Technique

How many of us spend our playing time trying to swing a certain way? Trying to perform that perfect motion. Only to get to a frustrated point and give up trying to be perfect and finally just play, and actually start playing the way we wanted to all along?
No? Just me? Suuuurrrrreeeee.

One Good Way to Accept Bad Shots

Hey everybody! Josh here! Ever struggle moving on from bad shots and putts? I have a pretty strong hunch your answer is yes.
Tried ways to talk yourself into moving on and forgetting about that bad shot but it didn't work? Pretty strong possibility that answer is yes too.
Try this tangible, physical way to accept shots and move on. Because the only way to hit the next shot with full commitment and trust (which is your only job after all) is to fully accept the previous shot and move on.

Bad Shots are Inevitable. So Why Aren’t You Ready for Them?

When was the last time you played a round of golf without a bogey? It's not exactly common. How about something even more rare - playing a round without a bad shot/swing/chip/putt? It doesn't happen. Ben Hogan famously said even in his best rounds he only hit 1 or 2 perfect shots.
So it's essential that you prepare mentally for bad shots, holes, scores, and tournaments. Listen for a way to do it.

Your Game Doesn’t Change Overnight

2 day streak! Still going... for now.
The topic of this episode was inspired by working with one of my players who felt they were a totally different golfer from one day to the next. But he (and all of us) need to realize an important truth about our game. Listen to hear it!
*****Bonus points to the first person to send me the name of my cat which is revealed after she so rudely (but also cutely) interrupted me*****
