While competing at golf at any level you deal with stress and pressure. In todays podcast we talk with 2017 US Mid Am winner, Matt Parziale about his experiences and Dr Greg Cartin about how to thrive when the pressure is on.

Dr Greg Cartin is on the podcast answering your questions about the mental game in golf. We answer some questions from all of you like: How do I stop myself getting tense on tight driving holes ! Usually followed by hitting it way into the cabbage When I play my best, I always feel as if I'm "not thinking" I'm simply just swinging. How do I keep or maintain this? After playing 12 holes, getting tired and keeping form and overthinking mechanics. How to not think about a score your going to make or shoot! How do you quickly forget the bad shots and just move on to the next one? Especially if that bad shot has left you in a precarious position. If a bad miss develops mid-round, how to adjust without over-analyzing and falling down that rabbit hole.

This week we're tackling the most common mental questions with performance consultant Dr Greg Cartin. Here are some of the questions we tackle this week: “Everyone says ‘trust your swing’. What if it can’t be trusted?“ “How do I block out the negative thoughts once my swing starts to struggle in the middle of my rounds which always seems to happen? Thanks.“ “I’ve always played with one mechanical swing key and tried to ride it for 18 holes. Top level players always talk about simply pre-visualizing the shot and the shape only. Am I limiting my ability to get to the next level by thinking of a swing key?“
