On this episode of Tour Coach, Tony Ruggiero sits down with Austin Hitt — fresh off a trip to "Mo Vegas" (Mobile, AL) — for a wide-ranging conversation on what actually separates good players from great ones. Austin breaks down the mental side of competitive golf: why belief in yourself might be 80-90% of the battle, how he uses money games and putting contests to simulate real tournament pressure, and the lesson from his college teammate Ben Griffin that changed his approach to practice (and his golf clubs) for good.

They also dig into stories about PGA Tour players Ryan Gerard, Ben Griffin, and Rafa Campos, talk through Austin's approach to hitting fairways off the tee, and get into why Austin runs his junior camps with one hard rule: no dickheads allowed.
