There's one piece of advice you've heard on every first tee of your life, and I'm convinced it's quietly sabotaging your golf. It sounds supportive. It feels harmless. But there's a psychology study that shows it backfires hardest on the exact people who reach for it.

In this one, I get into why you can't summon a feeling on command, and what actually holds up when you make a double and everything starts to slide. It comes down to two simple things you can do before your next round, and neither of them is a pep talk. Press play, and let's kill this advice for good.
