Grateful to be Along for the Ride
You the man Ev! Listening to your pod has helped me start to enjoy golf again and not put so much pressure on myself. When I find myself getting in a funk I try to remind myself how much of a pleasure it is to get to play golf and it snaps me out of it and allows me to focus on enjoying the sport I love!

Must listen for golf addicts
I can’t say enough great things about this podcast. Ev and Cerm make it such a fun and easy listen and - unlike any other golf podcast - they make the show about the listener. Each episode gets me more and more excited about my next round and elevating my game to the lowest handicap possible. Highly recommend!

Thanks for what you bring to golf
So, today I broke par for the first time. I’ve had a few chances and I choked a couple of them away in pretty miserable fashion. Today was different. I was 2 under headed to 16 and hit a couple bad shots and then 3 putted from 25 feet for a double bogey 5. I could feel my body deflate for a second. But today something changed. I embraced the challenge. I made it fun for myself. I treated it like 3rd and 9 or having the ball down 2 with 20 seconds left in basketball. Hit 2 great shots and birdied... more

Great mental game golf pod!
I am a newer listener to the show, and I have been in a real battle with golf for what feels like a while, not scoring how I want, getting angry during rounds, negative feelings towards golf for a while now. I listened to couple of episodes, and one in particular about shifting focus to ensuring people in the group are having fun, and it worked wonders in my last round. Definite “A-ha” moment mentally on the course. Already seeing the benefits in my game, and there are a ton of good takeaways fr... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#458: Going from an 8 to a 1 Without Changing Your Swing (Replay Rate - Coaching Calls)

Q: What was the pivotal shift in your mindset that changed your results?

Moving from chasing a specific score to leveraging problem-solving strengths on the course, simplifying the game, and trusting the process rather than forcing outcomes.

#457: There's No Such Thing as Consistency with Dr. Bhrett McCabe (How to Break Free from Suckville 2.0)

Q: What is the biggest takeaway for listeners who struggle with consistency and performance under pressure?

Accept that consistency in golf is a myth; instead, focus on foundations, awareness of your strengths, and a repeatable pre-round routine. Embrace the possibility of being wrong or imperfect, reframe pressure as an opportunity, and build a mental framework that reinforces belief in your own abilities rather than chasing perfect swings.

#457: There's No Such Thing as Consistency with Dr. Bhrett McCabe (How to Break Free from Suckville 2.0)

Q: What were the types of things you focused on going into the Ryder Cup with Cam Young?

The focus was on preparing for high-pressure rounds by mimicking final-round scenarios, maintaining belief in Cam's abilities, and emphasizing processes over chasing perfect mechanics. The approach included mental rehearsal, managing nerves, and ensuring Cam trusted his strengths rather than overanalyzing every swing.

#456: In Case You Missed It - February 2026 Recap of The Par Train Podcast

Q: How do you get back to enjoying the game when it starts to feel like work?

The hosts suggest reconnecting with what initially drew you to golf, simplifying shots, focusing on the process rather than the score, and possibly taking a break from obsession with handicaps to rediscover enjoyment through smaller, achievable goals.

#455: You Don’t Need a Better Swing... You Need More Speed

Q: What specific advice do you have for former baseball players trying to transition to golf effectively?

Baseball players should retain their aggressive approach off the tee but learn to translate that speed effectively to their golf swing to avoid keeping too much speed in the body and losing control of the club face.
