#356: Mental Game Roundtable - Break Par or Pay Up: A St. Andrews Bet for the Ages Nov 17, 2024

Show notes

Ev and Cerm recently received an unusual and fascinating e-mail from a long time listener regarding a golf bet for the ages. One 14 handicap vs. a 20 handicap. The first golfer to break par wins a free round, dinner, and drinks anywhere they want in the world. Being motivated and fueled by the bet, Ross got down from a 14 to a 0.8 index and is knocking on the door to finally break par. If he can pull it off, he wins a round off his best buddy to the Old Course at St. Andrews. What is standing in Ross's way? How can he finally get over the hump? If you want to dig into an epic buddies bet, and also learn some keys to help you shoot a low score down the stretch, this episode is for you.

A D1 player at Toledo, now giving lessons for a living, he lives and breathes the golf swing. Endless access to range balls. Working on his game more than ever. And he's now a +4 handicap. He's actually gotten BETTER the more he's worked on his swing and game vs. so many of us who actually get worse. We unpack how he did it, what's leading to the best golf of his life, why it could be an advantage to work with a newer coach, and so much more. Book a lesson with Pat here.
