The guys tackle toxic masculinity, vulnerability, and the silent pressure men feel to “stay tough.” They explore how ego shows up on the course and in life, how to build real confidence without bravado, and why letting go of the “tough guy” mindset can lead to better golf, stronger relationships, and a healthier sense of self.Along the way, they dive into golf strategies, intentional practice, and the etiquette that defines true sportsmanship: reminding us that growth, in the game and in life, starts with honesty and humility.Chapters00:00 Health and Wellness Journeys02:53 Nutrition and Dietary Changes05:41 Coffee Culture and Preferences08:40 Understanding Food Sensitivities11:54 The Importance of Nutritionists14:42 Finding a Sustainable Lifestyle17:51 Positive Mindset and Self-Improvement20:52 The Role of Supportive Relationships23:43 Mental Resilience in Sports26:36 Navigating Parenthood and Eating Habits37:17 Understanding Shot Shape and Ego in Golf39:01 Course Strategy and Commitment to Shots41:28 Short Game Management and Techniques45:43 Mental Approach and Simplifying the Game52:13 Intentional Practice and Goal Setting01:03:41 Golf Etiquette and Respecting the Course
