I just finished one of the craziest stretches of golf I've ever played: 182 holes in 12 days.

Between tournament golf, match play, long days, pressure, nerves, slow rounds, and a whole lot of walking, I learned a ton about my game—especially the mental side.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the experience and sharing some of my biggest lessons, including:

• Why you can be nervous and still play great golf
• The importance of having a clear strategy before every round
• What I learned from adopting a "Tiger mentality" — call the shot, rehearse it, and get extremely clear before pulling the trigger
• Why routines really are everything under pressure
• How verbalizing the shot helped me commit in big moments
• What my bad shots taught me about my tendencies under pressure
• Why gratitude, calmness, and acknowledging good luck matter more than you think
• Putting lessons that helped me improve my reads and stop forcing putts into the hole
• What match play taught me about momentum
• Why conditioning matters if you want to play your best during long tournament stretches
• The danger of overthinking when slow golf gives you too much time

Plus, I'll share some of the smaller adjustments that made a huge difference—from intermediate targets and staying loose between shots to a new hybrid punch shot and simplifying my mental approach over the ball.

182 holes. 12 days. A lot of golf and even more lessons.
