One Good Way to Accept Bad Shots

The Mental Golf Show ·

2020/12/02

Hey everybody! Josh here! Ever struggle moving on from bad shots and putts? I have a pretty strong hunch your answer is yes. Tried ways to talk yourself into moving on and forgetting about that bad shot but it didn't work? Pretty strong possibility that answer is yes too. Try this tangible, physical way to accept shots and move on. Because the only way to hit the next shot with full commitment and trust (which is your only job after all) is to fully accept the previous shot and move on. ----- Let me

At first glance, Tiger and Dustin Johnson are very different people. Personality-wise who could be more different?

Bad Shots are Inevitable. So Why Aren’t You Ready for...

The Mental Golf Show ·

2020/11/29

When was the last time you played a round of golf without a bogey? It's not exactly common. How about something even more rare - playing a round without a bad shot/swing/chip/putt? It doesn't happen. Ben Hogan famously said even in his best rounds he only hit 1 or 2 perfect shots. So it's essential that you prepare mentally for bad shots, holes, scores, and tournaments. Listen for a way to do it. ----- Thanks for listening! Share with someone who needs to work on their mental game! If you'd like to

2 day streak! Still going... for now. The topic of this episode was inspired by working with one of my players who felt they were a totally different golfer from one day to the next.

How to Take Control of Your Own Improvement

2020/11/27

Yes I'm going to do this to myself. I'm going to commit to doing a daily podcast. Even if it's just something small and unedited. I want to consistently give you guys something to think about that's been on my mind, or that I've learned, or that I've discussed with one of my own mental coaching players, or just random thoughts. I already know I'm not going to pull off a daily show, so I'm going to pre-accept that failure (foreshadowing to a future episode 😉). But I'm going to put this routine in

How a Regular Person Can Become a Scratch Golfer w/...

The Mental Golf Show ·

2020/10/23

Sean Denning is just a "regular guy". He works a regular job. Has a regular family. Has regular time constraints. Yet he improved his handicap from around a 4, into a scratch in just over a year. Now at first glance that might not sound like a lot and it might sound like a long time. But look at your improvement during your own life. Has it been dramatic? Has it been fast? If you're like me, then most likely not. Improvement is slow in golf, and making big strides is really difficult. And the better

You've heard the phrase "Stick to the process" or "focus on the process" or "the process is more important than the result" right? Probably more than you'd like. But what does it mean?

Why the Mental Game is Vital w/ Dr. Lindsey Blom

The Mental Golf Show ·

2020/09/02

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. ----- Want to try some actual mental training?
