Ever wonder why you lose your cool on the golf course? In this episode, I reveal the psychology behind those club-throwing moments and why anger is never actually the first emotion you feel—it's always covering something deeper.

You'll discover why one pro golfer went to the extreme of taping his mouth shut during a tournament (spoiler: it didn't work) and learn the three powerful keys to emotional mastery that the world's best players use under pressure.

I'll share personal stories of my own emotional disasters on the course, practical drills you can use immediately, and the counterintuitive truth about why suppressing your emotions might be hurting your scores.

Whether you're struggling with on-course outbursts or just wanting to channel your competitive fire more effectively, this episode reveals how transforming your relationship with anger could be the missing piece in your mental game.

The best part? These techniques don't just lower your scores—they bring back the joy of playing the game we love.

What if everything you’ve been told about practice is wrong?

I spent 25 years playing piano the “right” way—grinding the same songs, chasing perfection, and dreading every recital. Then, I watched my son fall in love with music overnight… not by memorizing notes, but by playing thunder.

Turns out, golf practice has the same problem. Most players are stuck in their own lifeless recital—mindlessly smashing balls, grooving flaws, and wondering why they never improve.

In this episode, you’ll learn why the driving range is LYING to you (and what to do instead). And learn about the science-backed secret to loving practice (hint: It’s not about perfect swings).

The best golfers aren’t made in sterile repetition. They’re forged in chaos, creativity, and curiosity.

Are you in a slump? Are you feeling cluttered, overwhelmed, and lost? In this episode, we’re breaking the cycle: no more band-aid fixes, no more swing overhaul madness. Instead, we’re going against conventional wisdom with three powerful (and often overlooked) strategies.

Plus, we’ll talk about the real reason slumps linger (hint: it’s not your swing) and how to fall back in love with the game when nothing seems to work. If you’re tired of the endless grind and ready for a smarter way out of your slump, this episode is your game plan.

"The slump isn’t your enemy—it’s your teacher. Time to start listening."
