The Power of Self-Talk

902: A Golf Smarter listener was shocked to find out that one of his regular playing partners was the actual author of a book we’ve talked a lot about on this podcast, “Winning The Battle Within - The Best Shot Is the One You Trust” by Dr. Glen Albaugh (RIP). Michael claims to actually have come up with the subtitle about “Trust”. He’s also a very good golfer / coach with some fabulous stories and tips. Beyond those credits, he is also an award-winning investigative journalist and the author of more than twenty books, and the publisher at Sixty Degrees Publishing <https://www.sixtydegreespublishing.com/> including his latest, “Michael Bowker’s No Ordinary Days”.

This week on Golf Smarter Mulligans #218, we feature one of my favorite episodes that was originally for Members Only, so it’s never been shared publicly. It’s called “If You Like Your Buddy’s Club So Much, Buy It From Them!” featuring golf retail veteran, and former regular contributor to Golf Smarter as an equipment expert, Kenny Nicholson.
