Think Above Par

Think Like Rory: 6 Mental Game Moves You Can Use Today


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m breaking down what Rory actually said after winning the Masters—and more importantly, what it means for you. Because here’s the truth: what Rory is doing to manage his mind is the exact same work you're learning here on this podcast.

You don’t have to be a tour pro to use these tools. You just need a brain (check), a love for golf (double check), and a willingness to practice (triple check).

This episode is your reminder that:
 ✅ You’re not behind
 ✅ You’re not broken
 ✅ And you are 100% capable of training your brain just like the best in the world

We’ll walk through 6 specific things Rory shared—and how you can use each one in your own game:

  1. Remind Yourself Who You Are – Confidence starts with identity.
  2. Have Your Own Back – Trust yourself to handle any situation.
  3. Use Power Phrases on Purpose – Don’t wing it. Write them down.
  4. Make Mistakes Neutral – Two double bogeys? No problem.
  5. Play for a Feeling, Not a Score – Set your emotional goal first.
  6. Battle Your Brain, Not the Course – Stay in the moment—again and again.

If you play golf with a human brain, this episode is for you.

🎧 Listen in and remind yourself: you’re doing the work, and it’s working.
