Not all courses are beautifully designed, immaculately manicured, or perfectly maintained.
The weather is not always your ideal temperature and wind.

The more you play courses outside of your own, you eventually come to realize this.  It is easy, however, to play a course you do not like and turn it into a bad round and unenjoyable day.

In this podcast, I share with you how to make the most of a "bad" course by shifting your attitude. I offer you a few ways to take it as an opportunity to become a better player.

This episode is to offer my perspective, as a former college athlete, on women's sport today.

I am not making a stand against anything. I am making a stand FOR over 200,000 women who play college sports.

I talk about whether we are encouraging or discouraging women from playing sport.

I share with you how challenging it is to manage your brain in college and that I want to facilitate women in sport to find resources to help them balance life, sport, family, school, and friends.

Whether you are going to play after the winter break or didn't have an opportunity to practice before you play,  we often feel unprepared for the round.
I want to share that how to prepare for a tournament or a round after a break is individual. Each of us prepares differently.
It is determined by what we want to practice, how much we want to practice, and how frequently we practice.  And I want to put a different spin on it for you.  What happens when you don't get a chance to practice or play before an event?

In this episode, I explain what it means to be prepared versus unprepared.

I share with how to really prepare for a tournament so that you can play your best golf, regardless of how many balls you hit leading up to it.

We believe our crappy thoughts and we keep repeating the same results over and over again.

In this episode, I talk about who really benefits from  mental coaching.   I share what criteria need to be met as well as what it is all about.

This is MORE than Mental Coaching.

Sometimes we play golf with people who are very negative on the golf course. We know this not only by the words they say but by their actions and their body language.

It can be challenging to stay  focused on our own game or maybe we spend our time and energy trying to lift up the spirits of our partner.

In this episode, I offer a few different ways to deal with a negative partner so that you can still play your best golf.

And, is it an opponent that is negative? I have some advice at the end of the podcast on what your best action to take in this situation.

It is so easy to worry about our golf game. We can worry about our score before we even tee off. We can worry about our first tee shot, getting ut of a bunker, or what our final score will add up to.

Worrying seems to serve a purpose. It protects us against our fears but masquerades as being useful or necessary.

In this episode, I discuss how to identify worrying on the course and prevent it from becoming a habit that interferes with your ability to perform your best on the course.
