#150: Mental Game Roundtable - From the High 80s to Breaking 60
Jhared Hack (@jhackgolf) has beaten guys like Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler to win the Western Amateur. In 2018, Jhared missed 18 straight cuts on the Korn Ferry Tour, posting scores in the high 80s. Since working on his mental game, in just the last month (!!!) Jhared has shot a 57, a 60, and won the Arizona Open.
We break down everything Jhared has learned, how a fearful and tentative mindset gave him the driver yips, and how small daily tweaks have helped propel him to the best golf of his life.

"...that was maybe the greatest moment we've ever had in 5 years doing this podcast." (1:04:00)
Cal Shapiro, a recording artist known for his crazy run with Timeflies, 8+ years of sold out tours, 250+ million streams on Spotify, and charting #1 on iTunes, is now doing the solo artist thing known as "Cal" and hopping aboard the Par Train whenever he can.
When Cal isn't making music, he fires at pins as a 2 handicap. We dig into his mental game, his tendencies, the parallels of making music and playing golf, simulating nerves, optimism, and he even makes a custom Par Train beat on the spot. Follow Cal on IG at @whatupcal and search "Cal" on spotify.
