63: Why the Mental Game is Vital w/ Dr. Lindsey Blom Sep 02, 2020

Show notes

How much of golf would you say is mental and how much is physical?

50/50? 60/40? 20/80?

Regardless you will scarcely find someone that thinks it's all physical and no mental. So then does your practice time reflect those percentages? If you think any part of golf is mental then you should incorporate at least some mental training into your regimen, and Dr. Lindsey Blom makes a great case for that in this episode.

61: Should You Be Trying to Shoot Lower Golf Scores? Aug 17, 2020

Show notes

We all assume shooting a low score in golf should be the goal. But have we ever questioned that goal? What if there's a better mentality that would naturally lead to lower scores over time?

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.
