The Mental Golf Show – Details, episodes & analysis

On this episode we’re going to be talking about pressure, stress, our brain's role in helping us survive threatening situations, how to close out a good round, and some real practical mental strategies for being present and free while you play.

You're going to learn how to face your struggles, rather than hiding from them. 

We’re going to use this concept to help you on a bigger picture of dealing with obstacles and setbacks in your own golf pursuit, but this will also apply to helping you deal with pressure during a round.

In this episode of The Mental Golf Show, we have Paul Salter, a mindset coach and hypnotherapist for golfers. We discuss how hypnotherapy has a misconstrued reputation, why Paul believes it can speed up the mental improvement and performance of golfers.

We also discuss the amateur golfer’s common diet mistakes, how to get premium fuel for your body, how ‘scarcity mentality’ applies to golf and can affect your game, how long golf improvement should take, how nonjudgmental curiosity can help us change the internal rules we’ve created, what’s at the heart of fear of failure, how fear of getting kicked out of the group can fuel playing scared, and the power of clear visualization, and specifically clear visualization of mistakes.

I played a golf tournament and documented my thoughts as I went through the week. I felt like I would want to be able to reference back to how I was thinking, and that it could possibly help somebody with how they should think before, during, and after an important round, or any round for that matter.

This is mostly just a guess, but I'm willing to bet that 95% of golfers are nervous on their first tee shot. What could go wrong, how is today going to go, am I going to get off to a good start, will today be my best round or my worst round, I've gotta show my playing partners I'm not terrible.

All of these thoughts will lead to nervousness on the first tee. So... what should we think instead?

Going practical here with something we can all relate to. I know all the times I've got off to a "bad" start and the emotions that come flooding in afterward. But you can fight it! Use these techniques to handle that adversity better next time.
