Know Yourself to Play Better Golf w/ Mike Carroll -...

The Mental Golf Show ·

2023/07/11

On today’s episode we have part 1 of 2 with Mike Carroll. You probably know him as Fit for Golf. He has an awesome presence on twitter and he runs the amazing Fit for Golf fitness app. Something he’s done that has really stood out to me is his interest in the proper ways to get better, not just throwing everything at the wall and hoping it sticks. Even though he’s not explicitly knowledgable in psychology, I think he brings a ton of great perspective and experience from his own learning in the game

How to Get Rid of the Yips

The Mental Golf Show ·

2023/06/20

On today’s episode we’re talking about the yips. How do yips start, why do they continue, and how to systematically get rid of them. You’re going to hear me use the word yips a lot in this episode, which might at first make you feel uncomfortable. But I believe naming it, talking about it openly, and facing your fears can destigmatize it in your own mind. So hang there and lean into it. And this isn’t just about the yips. This applies to anytime your fear of an outcome takes over and causes you to

Welcome to part 2 of 2 where Raymond Prior, PhD and I work through another set of common golf psychology myths. If you haven't listened to part 1, I highly recommend it. In part 1 we talked about myths and cliches like “just be positive”, why distracting yourself is unhelpful, how you can’t just will the ball into the hole or make yourself focus, and it’s impossible to just forget a bad shot. We also had a little bonus at the end talking about block vs random practice and how much you should be

The Mental Golf Show ·

2023/03/28

In Dr. Prior’s upcoming book Golf Beneath the Surface (Amazon link to purchase--not an ad), a major theme is how the cliches and catch phrases and mental tips and tricks that we've heard so many times are mostly just myths. They’ve been generally accepted as truths but don't actually have much or any supporting evidence to back them up. So you could look at this episode as a teaser for the book and some of the deeper evidence based psychology that you will learn reading it, but I think equipping
