On today’s episode we’re going to be talking about BEATING YOURSELF UP. You’re going to learn WHY you beat yourself up, where it probably started to become a habit, why it makes you play worse, and how to break the cycle of constantly berating yourself. ----- Are you a competitive golfer? Interested in working 1-on-1 with Josh as your Golf Psychology Coach? Email Josh directly at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠mentalgolfshow@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠joshnicholsgolf.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. ----- Take the Mental Game Assessment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and learn your top mental game traits and your areas in most need of improvement. ----- Want to be a SPONSOR on The Mental Golf Show?

On today’s episode we have part 3, our final installment, with Will Knauth. If you need an intro to Will I encourage you to go back and listen to part 1. In this episode we dive deep into Will’s pre-tournament routine for the Byron Nelson PGA Tour event, why he putts with a line but doesn’t use a line when he’s practicing, what he did to accidentally work himself into the yips, his pre-round playlist called 45 minute golf warmup #1, why chunking your first few shots on the range can actually help, the actual purpose of a pre-round warmup, and then we get super deep and existential. ----- Are you a competitive golfer? Interested in working 1-on-1 with Josh as your Golf Psychology Coach? Email Josh directly at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠mentalgolfshow@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠joshnicholsgolf.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. ----- Take the Mental Game Assessment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and learn your top mental game traits and your areas in most need of improvement. ----- Want to be a SPONSOR on The Mental Golf Show?

On today’s episode we are talking about slumps. Players like Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth come to mind. Heck even Tiger comes to mind. And maybe since you're listening to this you come to this episode trying to get out of your own slump. I know I’ve gone through half-decade long slumps. So how do I believe Justin Thomas could get out of his slump. How about you? How did I? How slumps start gives us a hint as to getting out of them. ----- Are you a competitive golfer? Interested in working 1-on-1 with Josh as your Golf Psychology Coach? Email Josh directly at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠mentalgolfshow@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠joshnicholsgolf.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. ----- Want to be a SPONSOR on The Mental Golf Show?

On today’s episode we have Part 2 with Will Knauth. If you need an intro to Will I encourage you to go back and listen to part 1. In this episode we dive into the details of when he played in the Byron Nelson PGA Tour event earlier this summer. I think it’s fascinating to hear from a really good amateur player and what the experience was like for him to play in a PGA Tour event, how difficult they set up the course, and fine of a line it is between great golf and pretty bad golf. We also talk about how he used his limited practice time, how he calibrates his swing and putting setup to always have a good idea what they’re going to do, and how he thinks about pressure and how much pressure affects his game. ----- Are you a competitive golfer? Interested in working 1-on-1 with Josh as your Golf Psychology Coach? Email Josh directly at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠mentalgolfshow@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠joshnicholsgolf.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. ----- Want to be a SPONSOR on The Mental Golf Show?

On today’s episode we are talking about tension and pre-shot waggles and staying loose. You remember all the talk about Brian Harman at The Open and his waggles? Yeah we’re going to get into that. ----- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Are you a competitive golfer? Interested in working 1-on-1 with Josh as your Golf Psychology Coach? Email Josh directly at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠mentalgolfshow@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠joshnicholsgolf.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. ----- Want to be a SPONSOR on The Mental Golf Show?

On today’s episode we have part 1 of my conversation with Will Knauth. If you hang out on golf twitter like I do way too much, you’ll know him as @freewilllyyyy. He’s a PhD student who is specializing in statistics. What got him on my radar was that he played in the Byron Nelson PGA Tour event and knows a lot about golf and his curiosity about the game and how he thinks about improvement and building skill. He’s a great player who’s played in a PGA Tour Event and is very thoughtful about golf so that’s basically the trifecta of someone I want to talk to for this podcast. And I believe the way he thinks and discusses things in these conversations can directly help you play better golf through improving your mind. ----- Will Knauth on twitter: @freewilllyyyy ----- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Are you a competitive golfer? Interested in working 1-on-1 with Josh as your Golf Psychology Coach?

On today’s episode we get super practical and detailed about exactly how you can and should spend your time PRACTICING.

On today’s episode we have Part 2 of my conversation with Mike Carroll who you probably know as Fit For Golf. If you remember from last time we talked about self-awareness and how knowing yourself can help you play better golf. We talk about Rory, having balance in your life, improving your fitness and its affect on their confidence and mental game, and more so I think you’ll definitely learn some valuable things from this episode. ----- Fit For Golf Website Mike Carroll on Twitter ----- Want to be a SPONSOR on The Mental Golf Show?

It’s Golf Thought Thursday where we work through common mental game struggles and explore the ways you can improve so you can shoot better scores. On today’s Golf Thought Thursday we’re going to be exploring confidence. What is fragile confidence? What makes confidence robust and able to stick through anything? ----- Want to be a SPONSOR on The Mental Golf Show?

On today’s episode we have part 1 of 2 with Mike Carroll. You probably know him as Fit for Golf. He has an awesome presence on twitter and he runs the amazing Fit for Golf fitness app. Something he’s done that has really stood out to me is his interest in the proper ways to get better, not just throwing everything at the wall and hoping it sticks. Even though he’s not explicitly knowledgable in psychology, I think he brings a ton of great perspective and experience from his own learning in the game. I’m confident this conversation can directly help you play better golf through improving your mind. ----- Want to be a SPONSOR on The Mental Golf Show?
