We explore how our subconscious mind often drives our actions, and how becoming aware of these hidden forces can dramatically improve our game and our lives.• Acceptance is the first step to improvement—recognizing your current abilities without judgment• Most amateurs avoid weaknesses while pros actively seek them out to transform them• Our identity and self-perception create invisible boundaries on our performance• True improvement requires changing how you fundamentally see yourself as a player• Curiosity rather than anger is key when facing challenges on the course• Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and other champions win through mindset, not just physical skill• The most successful players compete against history, not just other players• Asking yourself "Why not me?" can reveal hidden limitations to overcome• The "bounce back" statistics of tour players show how quickly they return to their identity• Self-awareness is potentially the next leap in human evolutionCheck out Howard's new book "Invincible: The Mindset of Infinite Potential and the Secret to Inevitable Success" available now.

Send us a textDiscover why your mental approach might be sabotaging your golf game with renowned sports psychologist Dr. Raymond Pryor. In this profound exploration of golf psychology, we uncover the concept of "stable confidence" – self-given permission to perform freely without guarantees – and how it transforms performance under pressure.Dr. Pryor, author of “Golf Beneath the Surface”, challenges conventional wisdom about golf psychology, explaining why common practices like distraction techniques and positive self-talk often fail long-term. Instead, he reveals how acceptance of uncertainty and potential failure actually creates the psychological space needed to access your best skills when it matters most. This counterintuitive approach explains why you might play brilliantly after a terrible front nine – you've finally accepted your situation instead of resisting it.One of the most powerful insights concerns the relationship between identity and performance. When we attach our self-worth to being "a good golfer," we create an unsustainable psychological burden that manifests as anxiety during important rounds. Dr. Pryor offers a more sustainable alternative: building identity around action-oriented traits rather than outcomes we can't fully control.Whether you're struggling with performance anxiety, inconsistency, or simply want to enjoy golf more deeply, this episode provides practical wisdom for transforming your relationship with the game. Dr. Pryor's approach isn't just about shooting lower scores – it's about finding freedom, authenticity and joy in the process, regardless of outcomes.What would it feel like to step onto the first tee completely comfortable in your own skin, accepting all possible outcomes while still fully committed to playing your best? That's the question at the heart of this conversation – and the answer might change your game forever. Thank you to Mizzuno Golf and JumboMax Grips. To reach us, Justin@elitegolfswing.comJesse@flaghuntersgolf.com OR (831)275-8804Raymond, www.golfbeneththesurface.com
