To play to your potential means to take what you own at this given moment in time out onto the golf course. 

Most golfers get in their own way with negative thoughts and emotions that leash their game.  It is stuck behind  a mismanaged mind and thoughts and beliefs most of which we don't even notice.

In this episode, I talk about the 4 stages of unleashing your golf game.

• First is to unleash your brain from negative thoughts patterns
• Second unleash your swing from pressure, frustration, doubt, ets
• Third, play unleashed by minimizing your focus on results or fears
• Fourth is to unleash your confidence and play in this state regardless of how you are hitting the ball.

There is nothing more frustrating than knowing you have more talent than you take to the course. I share the steps to getting out of your own way and unleashing your game on the course.

So many people tell me, "I just want to have fun when I play."
​
But the question is...how do you do that?

Or more specifically...what makes golf NOT fun for you?

In my opinion, I believe we over use or misuse the word "fun" when it comes to golf.
​
In this episode, I break down how we define fun and how to reframe it for your game
​
I share 4 steps including some questions to ask yourself as you explore how to have more "fun" EVEN when you are having an off day.

Golf isn't always great. I know you know this. We certainly wish that everyday was amazing.  But if everyday was awesome then no day would be. We want the contrast.
If we don't know what bad shots are we won't know what good shots are.

If we don't know what hopeless feels like, we won't recognize hope when it happens.

This is a concept of 50/50 that shows up in our lives and on the course.

In this episode, I explain how to use this concept to make the most of the inevitable negative moments that we will experience with the game of golf.

Whether you are a golf pro, former college golfer, accomplished athlete, high achiever or a person whose handicap just dropped a handful of strokes, you can relate to the feeling that you are not as good as people think you are.

Imposter syndrome can produce a lot of anxiety, fear, worry, and doubt in people.

In this episode, I talk about what imposter syndrome is relative to the game of golf.
I use golf pros as an example because it is such a prevalent issue for many in the industry.

You do not need to be a golf pro to relate to feeling like a fraud or inadequate in someway. I

I share with you 5 steps to overcoming imposter syndrome in golf or life so that you can reduce the negative emotions that keep you from not only playing well but enjoying the day.

In this episode I challenge you to try on different lenses in any area of your life and your golf game where you are aggravated, annoyed, or upset.

Those emotions are indicators that perhaps you are "wearing" glasses that are filtering your world in a way that doesn't serve you.

This works on and off the golf course. By trying this challenge and finding evidence of shifting your lens, you give your brain more proof that it works.

And then, you will be inspired to do it over and over again.

Listen in as I walk your through different scenarios for you to explore and shift your lens so that YOU get to have more control over your experience.

Have you been accused of taking the game too seriously? 

In this episode, I talk about how to differentiate the difference between being a passionate golfer and a "too passionate" golfer.

It could be that you spend most of your days practicing and playing the game, all of your conversations revolve around golf,  and all your spare time is spent watching videos and taking lessons.

It could be that you take a few extra looks at putts and double check your yardage.

But how do you really know if you have gone to the land of too serious?
I'll share with you what to look for in this episode.

We all filter our golf experience through a personal lens. It shapes how we feel on the course, and the results we create for ourselves.

We do this off the course as well. Some lenses work well and some we never question or change.

In this episode, I share a different perspective on how you view your golf experience and what you can do if you want to change it.

Ever feel like you constantly have blow up holes or a series of bogeys that keep you from playing consistent golf? Maybe you struggle with putting a few good rounds together. 

It can seem like you just keep making stupid mistakes. 

If you have a pattern like this there are steps to take to minimize erratic holes and rounds. 

In this episode, I share with you three areas where we can get erratic in golf: 

• After a bad shot
• After a bad hole 
• And even after a birdie

I show you how to bring your attention and awareness to exactly what might be getting in your way of playing your best golf on a more consistent basis.
