The Bag Drop: Untold Stories in Golf

Beyond the Scorecard: Dr. Nico Darras on Golf, Growth, and Letting Go


Listen Later

What's up Doc!? Dr. Nico Darras is back to reflect on his meteoric journey from baseball to professional golf to advising some of the best golfers in the professional game. Matt and Kevin kick things off with the importance of challenging paths in life, and how golf's difficulty should be viewed as a feature, not a bug. They share updates, including Matt's preparation for the Ohio Open. Dr. Darras joins to offer his insights on competition and enjoyment in golf immediately. The conversation explores balancing preparation and enjoyment, the nature of competition, and setting realistic goals. The episode emphasizes that the journey matters as much as outcomes, especially in competitive golf. The group delves into the mental aspects of golf, again stressing the value of separating outcomes from enjoyment and improvement. They reflect on personal experiences, including an enlightening non-spiritual trip to Scotland for Doc and what he learned about his relationship with the game. The dialogue underscores community importance, the joy of self-improvement, and how golf can connect and fulfill beyond us, beyond just a score.
