Today's guest is Gary Christian, a former PGA Tour player, broadcaster, and one of the most insightful minds in golf. Gary’s journey is anything but traditional—born in England, he played college golf at Auburn before grinding his way through the mini-tours and finally earning his PGA Tour card at the age of 40.

We dive into his late-blooming career, the mindset needed to chase a dream for decades, and what it was like competing against the best players in the world. He shares stories from his time on Tour, insights into course management, and lessons that every golfer—whether you’re a weekend warrior or aspiring pro—can apply to your game.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Life on the PGA Tour.
• Getting his PGA Tour card at 40 years old.
• What it was like playing with Tiger Woods at Bethpage Black.

And a lot more.

Get started with WHYGOLF Training Aids - the best training aids to help your practice sessions (use code WICKEDSMART to save 15%). 

Your self-image is the hidden force behind every round you play. Whether you realize it or not, the way you see yourself as a golfer directly impacts your confidence, decision-making, and ability to perform under pressure. If you’ve ever felt stuck at a certain handicap or struggled with consistency, it’s not just about mechanics—it’s about who you believe you are on the course.

In this solo episode, I break down why self-image is the missing link for so many golfers and how you can start thinking, acting, and training like your future self—starting today. When you listen to this episode, you will learn: 

• Why your identity as a golfer dictates your results.
• A journaling exercise that will help you embody your future self. 
• Practical strategies to reprogram your mindset for lower scores.
• Why taking consistent action builds confidence faster than motivation.
• How to shift your internal self-talk to match the golfer you want to become.
• The difference between playing to your handicap vs. playing to your potential.

If you want to break 80, win tournaments, or just feel more confident on the course, it starts with seeing yourself as that golfer before you get there. This episode will help you bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be.

Plus, I'll share how I began to upgrade my self-image in 2016 leading up to Pebble Beach. And interview Nicholas Tucker, a 10-year PGA Tour caddy.
