In this episode, Jon breaks down a pressure-filled tournament round in extreme heat and the mental strategies that helped him shoot three under and earn medalist honors in a difficult qualifier. He and Adam discuss what happens when golfers become attached to a score, why thoughts about protecting a good round can become distractions, and how simple reminders like “the score isn’t yours yet” can keep attention on the next shot. They also explore when, if ever, golfers should abandon the driver during a bad round...
In this episode, Jon breaks down a pressure-filled tournament round in extreme heat and the mental strategies that helped him shoot three under and earn medalist honors in a difficult qualifier. He and Adam discuss what happens when golfers become attached to a score, why thoughts about protecting a good round can become distractions, and how simple reminders like “the score isn’t yours yet” can keep attention on the next shot. They also explore when, if ever, golfers should abandon the driver during a bad round and why repeatedly avoiding an uncomfortable club can make the problem even harder to solve. The broader lesson is that improvement often requires confronting fear, understanding what is actually causing the problem, and staying committed to the process even when the result is uncertain.

As the weather gets warmer, staying properly hydrated on the golf course becomes even more important. LMNT’s new Lemonade Iced Tea flavor combines electrolytes, magnesium, and potassium with no sugar or questionable sports drink ingredients, plus caffeine from black tea extract for a steadier energy boost. Because the caffeine comes from tea, it’s naturally paired with L-theanine and polyphenols, which can feel smoother than the spike-and-crash effect of many energy drinks. For golfers looking for hydration and a little back-nine energy, this is a great option to try. With any purchase you're going to get a free sample pack.
