**The Mental Golf Show**

The Mental Golf Show is all about helping serious golfers translate their game when it matters.

Host Josh Nichols — a U.S. Mid-Amateur finalist and Golf Mental Coach — has spent years investigating one question: why do good players struggle to access their best game under real conditions? Through in-depth conversations with players, coaches, and performance experts — plus solo topical episodes breaking down what he’s learned — Josh investigates the gap between a golfer’s potential and what actually shows up on the course.

89: What to do After You Play Terrible Jan 25, 2021

Show notes

We all have bad rounds. It's inevitable. It's just the law of the variance in golf. It will happen. Yet we still always hate it and get super emotional about it and often times spiral and don't know how to stop the spiral.

On this episode, Josh offers ways to actually go down the correct road at the fork and work on improving this tendency.

88: Good Players Don’t Say Probably Jan 18, 2021

Show notes

Are you the kind of player that says "I hope I hit it there" and you inevitably don't hit it where you want? Or do you say "I hope that I accomplish this big goal this year" and you wake up unmotivated and you lose your way all too quickly? I think there's a deeper reason for that. Listen to this episode of The Mental Golf Show to hear Josh's thoughts on how to combat that!
