  • The Podcast for Mental Improvement

    Anyone who has played the game of golf with the goal of being your best or even simply to make the experience better likely knows the feeling of an unintentional rushed or tentative shot.

    And if you are like me and believe that “I can do it on the range but not the course” GBTS offers you a chance to change that mindset and become free to pursue what you want in golf.

    How much is that worth? To me-e... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q & A 11.0
Q: What can be done about choking and the yips from a psychological perspective?
They describe choking and the yips as anxiety-driven, trauma-like responses rather than purely mechanical issues, and suggest long-term work on psychological skills, accepting vulnerability, and reducing judgment from others to break the anxiety cycle.
Q & A 11.0
Q: How should players approach changes in equipment when moving up levels, such as from amateurs to tour level?
Both hosts emphasize that while equipment evolves, players must learn to adapt progressively, avoiding abrupt changes that disrupt performance; layering adjustments in a staged, manageable way helps players retain confidence and continuity.
Q & A 11.0
Q: What are your thoughts on bifurcation (rolling back the golf ball) and its impact on the sport?
They view bifurcation as a contentious, impractical idea that could harm the sport's integrity and marketability by creating expensive, divergent equipment paths for pros and amateurs, potentially undermining the fun and challenge of courses and the meaning of competition.
Playing for a Miss
Q: How do different golf pros approach course strategy based on their shot tendencies?
Top players understand their variability and may aim for more conservative targets to avoid costly misses, but they also need to be aggressive to shoot lower scores.
Playing for a Miss
Q: What are some of the major differences between simulation technologies now versus five years ago?
The quality of technology has advanced significantly, with more affordable options available that provide similar capabilities to high-end systems.
