What to do After You Play Terrible

We all have bad rounds. It's inevitable. It's just the law of the variance in golf. It will happen. Yet we still always hate it and get super emotional about it and often times spiral and don't know how to stop the spiral. On this episode, Josh offers ways to actually go down the correct road at the fork and work on improving this tendency. ----- Thanks for listening! Have a question about the mental game?

Good Players Don’t Say Probably

Are you the kind of player that says "I hope I hit it there" and you inevitably don't hit it where you want? Or do you say "I hope that I accomplish this big goal this year" and you wake up unmotivated and you lose your way all too quickly? I think there's a deeper reason for that. Listen to this episode of The Mental Golf Show to hear Josh's thoughts on how to combat that! ----- Thanks for listening! Have a question about the mental game?
