  • Taking Golf Too Seriously? That’s Not Mental Toughness

    Taking Golf Too Seriously? That’s Not Mental Toughness
    Jan 14 2026

    If you think being serious all the time makes you mentally tough, we need to talk. In this episode, I’m calling out a sneaky mindset mistake a lot of golfers make—confusing intensity with commitment.

    We’ll dig into why laughing at yourself on the course isn’t weakness—it’s actually a sign of mental strength. You’ll learn how your identity might be a little too wrapped up in your score, how to create space between a bad shot and your self-worth, and why loosening up can actually help you play better golf.

    Because mental toughness isn’t about clenching your jaw and pretending everything’s fine. It’s about emotional flexibility, perspective, and the freedom to play without fear.

    Mental Game Help: The 7 Stages of Golf Mindset Transformation
    Jan 7 2026

    If you’re ready to take your golf mindset seriously this year, this episode is your game plan. I’m breaking down the 7 stages of mental game transformation every golfer goes through—from awareness to emotional regulation to true confidence—so you can stop relying on willpower and start creating real, lasting change.

    Whether you’re trying to drop your handicap, play more consistently, or stop the emotional rollercoaster after one bad hole, this episode gives you a clear path forward. You’ll learn what it actually takes to shift your mental game—and become the golfer who handles pressure, trusts their swing, and shows up proud.

    This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about becoming the version of you that’s already capable of the golf (and life) you want.

  • The Golf Attitude Reset You Need for 2026

    The Golf Attitude Reset You Need for 2026
    Dec 31 2025

    It’s a new year, and before you start chasing birdies, let’s talk about what’s really holding your game back—your attitude. In this episode, I’m bringing back one of the most-loved topics with a fresh 2026 twist: the four golf attitudes that quietly sabotage your confidence and performance. Whether you’re feeling negative, victimy, defeated, or a little entitled (don’t worry, I’ve been all four), this is your wake-up call. You’ll learn how to catch yourself in these mindset traps and penguin-slap your way into a more powerful, realistic attitude for the season ahead. No shame, just awareness—and a better way to show up on the course this year.
