What's up podcast! This is a special episode for me because I got to talk with my close friend Casey Komline about his experience in a mini tour event and the mental game lessons he learned.
I think this is a super relatable episode that you are definitely going to learn something from!

On this episode, I talk about the mentality of someone who only focuses on the controllables and leaves the uncontrollables behind. I think this is foundational to having a good golf game.
