On this episode we’re going to be talking about the US Mid-Amateur. On the day this is released the first day of practice rounds are happening right now at the US Mid-Am at Sleepy Hollow. No, I’m not there. And yes, I’m extremely jealous.

But I want to take this episode to talk about the mentality that it takes to get good enough to play in a US Mid-Am, and make it all the way to the finals.

Now I know what you might be saying, “this episode isn’t for me, there’s no way I could ever get that good or I don’t like setting goals like that or I don’t have that kind of time.” I think this episode is more than just about achieving this one specific goal. It’s more about becoming the type of player that you aspire to be, no matter what that level is. Mine might be different than yours, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get better and improve toward your goals.

As some of you have heard me talk about, I made it to the finals of the 2017 US Mid-Am. That’s getting farther and farther into the past, but the process I used to get there has solidified over time.

And if you’re actually currently playing in the US Mid-Am, maybe this can help you pace out your days and hopefully your long road to the final. And you have to promise me if you make it to the final like I did you gotta give The Mental Golf Show a shout out.
