Think Above Par

Owning Your Mental Game with Dr. Alison Curdt: Self-Concept, Competition, and Boundaries


Listen Later

In this episode of Think Above Par, we’re excited to share a powerful interview with Dr. Alison Curdt, a dual PGA and LPGA Master Professional, and a clinical sports psychologist. Kathy and Dr. Curdt dive into the mental side of golf, exploring topics that affect golfers at all levels.  Dr. Curdt shares her unique approach to balancing golf coaching, psychology, and competition while still being an active competitor herself.

Key takeaways include:

  • How self-concept impacts a golfer’s mindset and performance
  • Embracing competitiveness as a strength, not a character flaw
  • The importance of setting boundaries on and off the course to protect your mental game
  • Why no one is watching you as closely as you think—understanding the “spotlight effect”
  • How to nurture your mental game for lasting success

If you're ready to strengthen your golf brain, Dr. Curdt's insights will provide practical tips to shift your perspective and elevate your performance, whether you’re just starting or competing at a high level.
