895: Golf Smarter has always been a huge advocate of fine tuning your mental game with the same passion and diligence as your swing mechanics. Our guest this week is performance consultant and author of Golf Beneath The Surface - The New Science of Golf Psychology, Dr. Raymond Prior. In both the book and this conversation, Raymond debunks some myths of sports psychology that are surface-level and explains psychological predictors that encourage long-term growth and skillful performance under pressure. Connect with Raymond on Twitter @bts_mindset or visit his site at BTSMindset.com. Here’s a link to his book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3pKnSgE
