42. Doing Golf Differently with Haley Bookholdt May 25, 2023

Show notes

Tori sits down with social media influencer Haley Bookholdt.

She began her golf journey at nine years old during the 2008 recession. Her father, an avid golfer himself, encouraged Haley to pursue their shared passion. In 2017, she had the opportunity to attend Elon University on a golf scholarship.

Listen in as Haley talks about the mental and emotional challenges that came with her role as a college athlete, as well as the frustrating experience of transitioning to recreational golf later on.

Haley shares her experience as an influencer on Instagram and TikTok, and how she overcame the pressures of pleasing her male followers to display her authentic self on social media, which is to be a model for fellow female golfers.

Finally, Haley talks about the future of women’s golf in our male-dominated space, and why she believes that true representation can only be achieved when more women “claim the game as their own”.

Key Highlights

As golf rounds become longer and longer, it’s become more important to find a purpose in every game to maintain your enjoyment in the sport, whether it’s for competition or simply a mode of relaxation.
Haley shares her social media journey, how she built a brand on her own terms (and not based on what others, especially men, thought of her), and her future plans.
The male-dominated golf world will only become more inclusive when women claim the game as their own.
If you want to progress as a golfer, embrace humility; otherwise, your athletic development will only slow down.

41. How Knowing Your Enneagram Type Can Help Improve Your Golf Game with Tracy O'Malley May 22, 2023

Show notes

Tracy sits down with Tracy O'Malley, world-renowned Master Performance, Business consultant, and Expert Enneagram Coach.

Listen in as she discusses the nine Enneagram types and how to use knowledge of your “soul blueprint” as a compass for making sense of the gaps in your golf game.

According to Tracy, getting in the reps is a foundational principle for all golfers, but that has to be complemented by breaking down the mental and emotional barriers that get in the way of growth. By knowing your Enneagram type, you’ll know how to do just that!

Key Highlights

· Type 1s, the perfectionists, need to avoid making absolute statements (ex. I’m good/bad) and consider the gray areas. We miss the miracles when we fall back on black-and-white thinking.

· Type 2s, the helpers, have to learn to ask for what they want and need. By putting your own oxygen mask first, you can offer much more help afterwards.

· Type 3s, the hustlers, easily experience burnout. Being “the best” doesn’t necessarily trace back to something measurable, so slow down and enjoy the journey, the experience.

· Type 4s, the romantics, could do with more structure. Creativity and expressiveness is great, but having a plan of action is the way to take your game to the next level.

· Type 5s, the introverts, can get a little too obsessed with the accumulation of knowledge; but, there has to be a moment where you step away from the “how to” YouTube videos and take action.

· Type 6s, the overthinkers, can get paralyzed by an outcome that has not even transpired yet. They have to learn to let go and have more faith in their game.

· Type 7s, the master networkers, can end up seeking out fun in order to avoid the hard feelings. They need to visit the “solitude cave” every once in a while to find moments of quiet and create a strategy.

· Type 8s, the cholerics, can be headstrong and domineering to the point of intimidating others. Consider making the journey from active controller to considerate helper.

· Type 9s, who always prefer going with the flow, eventually have to take a stand in spite of a constant fear of conflict. Don’t be afraid of using your voice.

40. 5 Keys to Stay Miserable on the Golf Course with The Par Train Dudes May 18, 2023

Show notes

What a fun episode we have today with Evan Singer and Matt Cermak from The Par Train podcast joining us. We are filling you in on 5 ways you can be miserable on the golf course – this is a must listen!

Key Hightlights:

Expecting what you do on the range to happen on the course. A warm-up is just that: a warm-up. Your best swing or putt is an outlier, not an average.
Trying to shoot your best score. When was the last time you actually shot your best score when you “tried” to shoot your best score? Don’t reinvent a past victory. Instead, recommit to earn a new victory. That is, don’t look at the finish line. Focus instead on the process—the journey—that will result in a win.
Trying to impress others. Since we’re only human, we can’t help but care what others think; but, when we let the opinions of others influence our performance on the golf course, we end up doing worse than if we just put aside that insecurity.
Assume you won’t make mistakes. Just because your last round was perfect doesn’t mean this round will be perfect. Golf is a game of recovery.
Don’t get too high, and don’t get too low. Take care not to rest on your laurels after every good shot and beat yourself up after every bad shot. If you get too high, you create unnecessary pressure on yourself come the next swing; and if you get too low, you gradually lose the confidence and motivation to go on.

38. Golf Update and Summer Goals with Kim & Tara May 11, 2023

Show notes

Tori sits down with Kim and Tara to talk about what they expect going into the upcoming Arizona Four-Ball and the Arizona Senior Open. Kim and Tara, who are partnering up for the Four-Ball championship, discuss their game plan and pre-round routine.

Tara then shares her experience going through the P.J. Boatwright Internship Program as a college sophomore and how it affected her golf career going forward. She also talks about her recent drive to once again qualify for the Arizona Mid-Amateur Championship.

Finally, Tori, Kim, and Tara talk about the challenge of getting the 2022 Women’s Mid-Amateur to push through, followed by their goals for the summer.

Key Highlights

When playing with a partner, don’t put pressure on yourself. There are no “sorrys” in partner golf. If one partner makes a mistake at a hole, the other partner is there to close that gap and provide support.
Tara explains that caddies don’t necessarily need to know a lot about golf. A newcomer can learn a lot just by spending enough time on the green and staying observant. When scouting out a club, don’t be afraid to ask if anyone’s in need of a caddie, because more often than not, someone’s looking.
Golf is an emotional game, and like with any sport, no one likes to lose. Tori reminds us that it’s actually after the greatest losses that the most valuable lessons are learned.
It’s okay to be competitive, even among friends. But it’s definitely tough (and often awkward) to compete against friends. That discomfort goes away over time as long as everyone remembers that competition ends when the game ends.

36. [Part Two] Breaking Bogeys Workshop: Do You Have a Goal to Break 100 or Break 90 this Season? May 04, 2023

Show notes

Download the Breaking Bogeys Workbook HERE.

You can also watch the workshop on YouTube HERE.

Justin Klemballa does a deep dive into making better contact with the ground, explaining how to avoid fat shots and train yourself to take a divot in front of the golf ball.

He breaks down the four steps to improving your swing, covering how to shorten your backswing, stay on plane all the way through the swing, and create a mental plan to stay consistent with each and every shot.

Key Highlights

· The biggest technical problem golfers struggle with, if they have bad contact, is not realizing where the divot is supposed to be. Your club bottoms out and hits the ground with every golf club in your bag except your driver and your putter. Every other club should hit the ground slightly in front of the ball. Hitting the ground before the ball is called a “fat shot”, and it saps energy that would have otherwise gone into the ball.

· What causes the ground to be struck behind the ball is when the golfer’s weight is distributed evenly (50/50 on each leg) or their weight is too much on the back foot. Get your weight (around 70-80%) into your left side prior to the moment of impact.

· The four areas golfers must work on to improve their swing, in order of priority, are: to hit the ball more consistently, to hit the ball straight, and to hit the ball farther.

· To help shorten your backswing, your body and arms should stop turning at the same time. Eliminate the tendency to continue swinging your arms after your body stops swinging.

34. Using Manifestation to Give Yourself the Mental Edge with Tiffany Carter Apr 27, 2023

Show notes

Tori sits down with Tiffany Carter, a female empowerment speaker, money-making mentor, and marketing expert.

She’s the founder of ProjectME, a program which taps into the power of manifestation to turn your deepest desires—whether in wealth, love, career, self-worth, travel, or relationships—into reality.

Listen in as Tiffany shares how to apply manifestation to your golf game in three steps. Whether your goal is to break score barriers or get your handicap index down to single digits, you can’t physically train yourself to overcome self-limiting beliefs.

She explains the process of envisioning the end result as regularly and as powerfully as you can until it comes to fruition, as well as how to prevent nervousness and creeping insecurities from sabotaging the process.

Finally, Tiffany, talks about the importance of actually taking action on the things you envision. By showing up for yourself every day, and having a community to uplift you during those inevitable low moments, the Universe will always come through with the things you desire.

Powerful Quotes by Tiffany

“Manifestation is when the power of visualization meets action meets energy.”

“You can’t out-practice or outplay a broken mindset.”

Key Highlights

· Manifestation is all about visualizing a desired outcome and having that desire come into existence. This is a process which starts with the dream. When you combine that dream with the feelings attached to it, igniting all of that with action, you can manifest anything into your life.

· Almost every top performer in every sport, including golf, works with a mindset coach. They didn’t become the elite of the elite through sheer physical talent and honed skill. They did it by focusing just as equally on the mental game. “The edge,” Tiffany reminds us, “is yourself.”

· Manifestation isn’t about lying to yourself, saying, “I’m a good putter,” when you know it’s not true. Instead, it’s about expressing the type of golfer you want to be: “My putting is improving.” Make the vision as detailed as possible, down to what you’re wearing.

· Release your attachments from the past and the future and stick to the present moment. All of your anxieties, fears, and insecurities, which impede manifestation, stem from being unable to focus on the now.

· Half-measures beget half results. By deliberately taking aligned actions, doing them consistently, and having a support group to cheer you on, the Universe can’t help but make real what you’re putting all of your energies into manifesting day after day.

33. A Golf Trip Turned Tradition with Oli Bell Apr 24, 2023

Show notes

Tori sits down with Shannon Mercer, Ashley Ibañez, and, all the way from the UK, Oli Bell.

Oli is a sports broadcaster who specializes in horse racing, while occasionally dabbling in soccer as well as niche sports like snooker and darts. He’s also passionate about golf.

Shannon and Ashley reflect on their 2022 trip to Scotland, where they intended to visit Dumbarnie Links as the first of their lineup of golf courses in the country, and how the Queen’s funeral forced them to postpone that visit.

They went to North Berwick Golf Club and St Andrews Links, finishing at Kingsbarns Golf Links where they met Oli.

Oli also discusses the planning process behind his annual golf trip for his group of twelve, the Bear Fight Invitational. He shares why he thinks the game of golf is not only great for building authentic relationships with like-minded folks, but also for broadening your horizons by traveling to amazing places in different countries.

Key Highlights

· Oli’s Bear Fight golf trips have allowed him to maintain genuine friendships amid the glitz and glamor of the world of media he’s constantly immersed in. Tori agrees, saying that golf has been a great way to meet new people and strengthen existing relationships, not to mention travel and discover beautiful new spots around the world.

· As female golfers, Tori, Shannon, and Ashley probably felt more welcome in the Scottish golf community than in America. There, they didn’t feel like “women golfers” as much as they were simply “golfers”.
