Golf is one of the biggest mental battles in sports ⛳️🧠

This week on the podcast, I sat down with Brock McCormack, CMPC, to break down the mental side of golf and why so many golfers struggle with:

• Letting go of bad shots
• Overthinking and “fixing” during rounds
• Rushing routines
• Score watching
• Comparing themselves to pros
• Playing scared instead of playing to win

One bad shot does NOT mean your swing is broken.

We talked about:

✔️ Why perfectionism can hurt golfers
✔️ How to stop catastrophizing mistakes
✔️ Why even the best golfers in the world make bogeys
✔️ A simple 3-step reset process after bad shots
✔️ The importance of target, tempo, and trust
✔️ How to handle pressure, leaderboards, and playing partners
✔️ Why golf is truly a game of managing failure

One of my favorite reminders from this episode:
“What now?” is a much better question than “Why did that happen?”

Golf isn’t about being perfect. It’s about responding well, staying present, and trusting what got you there in the first place.

If you’re a golfer, coach, or parent of a golfer, this episode is packed with practical mental strategies you can start using immediately. 🎙️
