GS#445 July 15, 2014 Dr. Bob Winters returns to Golf Smarter to discuss his new book that will help your mental game and lower your scores. "Mistake Free Golf; First Aid for Your Golfing Brain".

Dr. Robert K Winters, affectionately known as Dr. Bob, specializes in sports and personal performance training.

On Part 1 of this episode of Next on the Tee, we're turning up the heat as we look ahead to one of the greatest events in all of sports—the Ryder Cup. With the Captains' picks announced, the big question is: Did Keegan Bradley get it right? Or did he fall into the “old boys club” trap he once criticized? I dig deep into the picks, including whether Keegan should've made himself the first playing captain since Arnold Palmer in 1963, and how Bethpage Black might—or might not—be set up to favor the U.S. Team. Our Resident Director of Instruction, Tom Patri, shares why he thinks course setup won't matter, plus we break down the unique challenges of Patrick Cantlay's hat size and the no-win nature of Ryder Cup captaincy. From there, we pivot to the FedEx Cup and the so-called “season-long” chase before welcoming back Dr. Bob Winters. This month, Doc delivers the mental keys to overcoming doubt—whether you're chasing your club championship, trying to break a scoring milestone, or facing that one hole you can't seem to conquer. His mantra: Process over Prizes. Be sure to come back for Part 2, I welcome Matt Cahill, the man handpicked by Bob Ford to succeed him as Head PGA Professional at Seminole Golf Club. Matt talks about the opportunity to work for both Ford and Jimmy Dunne, his impressive playing career from junior championships to US Amateur Championship, to the PGA Championship at Oak Hill, and his experiences helping Shinnecock Hills host the 2018 U.S. Open.

On this episode of Next on the Tee, I'm joined by three great friends who each bring their own expertise and perspective to the game. First up, our Director of Instruction, Tom Patri, is fired up about the importance of basic human decency in player/coach relationships. We discuss how parting ways can be a natural part of the game, but it should always be done with class—especially when a coach has gone above and beyond to help a player in tough times. That leads us into a candid conversation about the player/caddie dynamic, including Collin Morikawa's rapid caddie changes this season and when instead players need to take a hard look in the mirror. Next, The Confidence Doctor Dr. Bob Winters, joins me to continue that discussion and share insights on one of his students, Rianne Malixi, who recently had an impressive run at the U.S. Women's Amateur. As always, Doc leaves us with wisdom to remember, including this pearl of wisdom, it's hard to keep hungry when the refrigerator is always full, and the meaning behind his PLAY acronym. Please come back for Part 2, when I'm joined by Briston Peterson, founder of On Point Golf, to talk about his innovative 3D ball marker that's making waves on the Champions and LPGA Tours. Even Jim Furyk and Charley Hull have embraced it. Briston explains the science behind why it helps you make more putts, and I share how you can get one in your hands while my supply lasts.

On this episode of Next on the Tee We kick things off with one of the most respected voices in sports psychology, Dr. Bob Winters, aka the “Confidence Doctor.” Dr. Bob joins me each month to help us strengthen our mental approach to the game, and this week we dive into the topic of “choking” — what it really is, and more importantly, what it isn't. Following Tommy Fleetwood's tough finish at the Travelers Championship, social media lit up with talk about pressure and performance. Dr. Bob offers his expert perspective and guidance to help us stay focused when the pressure's on. Plus, we talk about the incredible success his junior players are having — if you know a young player looking to elevate their game, Dr. Bob is the person to call. Then I'm joined by my wonderful friend and Assistant Captain, Darren Pang. With the Stanley Cup Finals in the rearview mirror, it's always great catching up with Panger to talk hockey and golf. We discuss what it's going to take to dethrone the now back-to-back Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers and preview next February's Olympic hockey tournament. On the golf side, Darren shares his love for Miura clubs, why Royal County Down tops his list of favorite courses, and his memories from being at the 1997 Open at Royal Troon. He also gives us a look inside his home course Prestwick Village Golf Club in Michigan and his personal backyard putting green crafted by Celebrity Greens.

This week on Next on the Tee, I'm joined by two incredible guests who each bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and heart to the game. First up is former PGA Tour Pro Joe Inman, whose remarkable career includes being a 3-time All-American at Wake Forest, winner of the Arnold Palmer Award in 1969, and a member of that year's victorious U.S. Walker Cup team. Joe takes us back through the majors he played at Oakmont, the '69 U.S. Amateur, the '78 PGA Championship, and the '83 U.S. Open. Plus he talks about playing with and against future legends Lanny Watkins, Steve Melnyk, Allen Miller, Tom Watson, Jay Siegel, and Paul Purtzer in the Walker Cup and at the US Amateur. Joe's peers say he'd make the perfect PGA Tour Commissioner—and after hearing this conversation, you might agree with that they're right. Then, we welcome back our resident “Confidence Doctor” Dr. Bob Winters. In his regular monthly segment, Doc shares stories from his early days in the game, including a touching memory of meeting the great Jim Dent. As always, he brings unmatched positivity and teaches us how to build lasting confidence both on and off the course.

In Part 2 of Episode 25, my gumba Rob Strano joins me to celebrate the grand opening of his new state-of-the-art golf academy in the Florida panhandle. Rob takes us back to his days playing on Tour, sharing reflections on what he calls the “Uecker effect” which he unfairly depicts his PGA Tour career, since he became one of the 1% of the 1% who reached the elite level of the sport. He also recounts a wild story involving what might just be a Tour record on a par 5 at Smithfield Country Club. We also talk about the power of belief, mindset, and staying positive—both on the course and in life. Then, I'm joined by the Confidence Doctor himself, Dr. Bob Winters. Doc shares stories from his recent travels, including a golf-filled trip to a lesser-known Hawaiian island. With the U.S. Women's Open last week, we discuss some of the players he's currently working with in the field, plus the incredible work one of his students is doing for junior golfers across Asia and the Philippines. It's a fun and insightful wrap to another fun episode.

#76: [Inside the Mind] Dr. Bob Winters (The Confidence Doctor): Building Confidence and Playing Mistake-Free Golf In this powerful episode, I sit down with renowned sports psychologist Dr. Bob Winters - affectionately known as The Confidence Doctor - to explore how true confidence is built, sustained, and reclaimed after setbacks.

On this week's show, we kick things off with our regular monthly visit from The Confidence Doctor, Dr. Bob Winters. Doc shares insight into the incredible success his junior players are having, including several competing in the Augusta National Women's Amateur. One standout is Megha Ganne, who set a first-round record with a 63 at Champions Gate. Although our conversation was recorded the night before the tournament began, Doc explains exactly why her stellar performance came as no surprise. He also highlights the accomplishments of other young players he works with and reminds us once again why he's the best in the business—change your mind, change your game. Following Doc, Jay Delsing returns to the show. Jay is not only one of the kindest and most uplifting voices in the game, he's also got a new book coming out titled You Wouldn't Believe Me If I Told You, and trust me, you're going to want to read it. He shares some unforgettable stories, including teeing it up with Stephen Stills, meeting Sean Connery (who then introduced him to Steven Spielberg and George Lucas), and playing with presidents—and a young Tiger Woods. You'll love his energy and storytelling. Finally, we bring in our Resident Director of Instruction, Tom Patri. With a scheduling conflict bumping him up in the lineup, Tom gives us his take on Min Woo Lee's breakthrough victory at the Houston Open and the crucial role Lee's caddie played in avoiding disaster. We also look ahead to The Masters, and Tom shares the four players he expects to be battling it out on the back nine come Sunday.

This month, Dr. Bob dives into the crucial role that your dominant eye plays—not just in your swing, but also in your overall confidence on the course.

TP gives us the inside scoop on some of his recent Instagram Live interviews, including conversations with our mutual good friend Damon Hack from The Golf Channel and his longtime pal Jimmy Roberts. And in a hilarious twist, TP must've been feeling nostalgic—because for the rest of our chat, he calls me Jimmy...not kidding, you'll hear it for yourself. We also get into his thoughts on some hot topics in the game right now, like slow play and AimPoint green reading. It's a fun and insightful conversation, so stick around and let's tee it up!

Come back for Part 2 featuring 2 time Georgia PGA Teacher of the Year Brandon Stooksbury and the Head Golf Professional at Canterbury Golf Club in Beachwood, Ohio Jason Carbone. In Part 1, TP shares his insights on the first PGA Tour event of the year in Hawaii, where Hideki Matsuyama put on a record-breaking performance, finishing at an astonishing 35 under par. With an incredible 88% greens-in-regulation and 1.56 putts per GIR, Matsuyama won in record-setting fashion shooting a PGA Tour 35 under par.

In this episode, I've got four fascinating guests lined up for you. Part 1 kicks off with our Resident Director of Instruction, Tom Patri. TP and I dive into the mass exodus happening among top leaders across all the tours. Plus, we'll discuss the recent announcement that PGA Tour Enterprises is seeking a CEO to work alongside Jay Monahan – which I'm hoping is code for replacing him. We'll also touch on the outgoing CEO of the R&A, Martin Slumbers, and his parting warning for professional golf. All that and more with TP! Next, we're joined by the "Confident Doctor," Dr. Bob Winters, for our monthly visit. Doc will share insights about an exciting new Tour he's joined as a Board member, designed to give talented young women a pathway to the LPGA. We'll also explore the double-edged sword that is golf – how it feels magical when everything is going right but challenging when our minds and bodies aren't in sync. Dr. Bob will join the conversation about 30 minutes in. Tune in for these great discussions, and be sure to come back for Part 2 of this week's show featuring my conversations with Jim Gallagher Jr. and Scott Hamilton.

In Part 1 of this week's episode, we're kicking things off with our resident Director of Instruction, Tom Patri, who's joining us for the 107th time and on the 9th anniversary of the first time he joined the show. Tom and I dive into the proposed changes for the 2025 PGA Tour season, which unfortunately don't seem focused on growing the game at the professional level. We discuss the trickle-down effect these changes could have on top instructors like Tom and on others around the game who are dedicated to helping aspirational players. These changes risk shrinking the game at the top, giving a larger piece of the pie to fewer players. As usual, it seems to come down to more money for fewer people. You'll hear Tom's thoughts on this and much more. Be sure to check out his website at www.tompatri.com and give him a follow on Instragram @tompatrigolf. Here is a link to his YouTube channel where you can get over 360 free video playing lessons, https://www.youtube.com/@TomPatriGolf After Tom, we'll have our monthly visit from “The Confidence Doctor,” Dr. Bob Winters. This month, we're focusing on the fantastic results he's seeing with his junior players as they work toward achieving their goals. Dr. Bob also shares his insights on staying in the present moment instead of constantly projecting ahead. Plus, we discuss the importance of prioritizing enjoyment on the course, asking each other if we had fun instead of immediately asking, “What did you shoot?” Stay up-to-date with Dr. Bob on his website at www.theconfidencedoctor.com.

In Part 1 of Season 11, Episode 51, I'm joined by Steelers Legend Rocky Bleier and The Confidence Doctor, Dr. Bob Winters. Rocky is one of the greatest storytellers in sports and has been a frequent and favorite guest over the years. He first joined me way back in 2011, and this marks the 13th time I've had the honor of chatting with him. We'll dive into the Steelers' season, revisit his early days in Pittsburgh, and hear some fantastic stories about playing alongside Terry Bradshaw. Rocky also shares his thoughts on the toughest moments he's had on the football field, my favorite Chuck Noll story, and his experiences playing in some of his favorite Pro-Ams. Following Rocky, we get our monthly visit from The Confidence Doctor, Dr. Bob Winters. This time, Doc talks about how to create a "Personal Zone of Control" and the importance of managing our expectations rather than trying to meet the expectations of others and creating a personal playing space. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to improve their mental game. Tune in for these amazing stories and more!

In Part 2 of Episode 47, I'm thrilled to welcome back The Confidence Doctor, Dr. Bob Winters, along with Chris Sheehan, the Head Golf Professional at the Pittsburgh Field Club and a longtime friend of the show.

In Part 1 of Episode 41, I'm joined by Dina Parise, the 2015 IHRA Pro Modified World Champion, and The Confidence Doctor, Dr. Bob Winters. Dina Parise, who grew up on Long Island, was a competitive gymnast in the summer and a passionate ice skater in the winter, idolizing Dorothy Hamill. She turned her love for ice skating into a four-year career performing with the Ice Capades, where she even had the chance to meet her idol. In our conversation, Dina shares stories from that time, including the first time she signed an autograph, meeting her husband Andrew, a champion driver in his own right, and how she got hooked on drag racing. She also reflects on the thrill of winning her first driver's championship and reveals why, in a movie about her life, she'd want Marisa Tomei to play her. In this month's discussion with Dr. Bob Winters, we delve into his pioneering work in junior golf, focusing not just on the swing but on the mental game. Dr. Winters emphasizes the importance of cultivating a positive attitude, focus, and the right mental approach. Recognizing this need decades ago, he developed a program to help young players build the mindset necessary for success. We also explore the concept of “the drive to finish,” addressing why some top players have struggled to close out tournaments recently—a challenge we've all faced. Doc offers insights and strategies to help us overcome that hurdle.

In this episode, I'm joined by The Confidence Doctor, Dr. Bob Winters; the Founder of Golf Live, Keith Scioli; and our Resident Director of Instruction, Tom Patri. Dr. Bob makes his regular monthly appearance and discusses the importance of having a SOLID foundation for your game. What does SOLID stand for? He explains it as: Single-mindedOptimisticLetting go of score and expectationsIntentional and focused over each shotDecisive and determined mindset Dr. Bob also shares insights about a hidden gem course in Ocala, which he says may be the best in Florida. Keith Scioli transitioned from being a Landman for Southwest Energy to creating the ultimate golf app, Golf Live. Available on the Apple App Store and Google Play, this app offers real-time live playing lessons with a PGA Professional, no matter where you or they are. Struggling on the range and wish you could get a live lesson right then? Now you can. Keith walks us through the app's features, including the soon-to-be-added swing data integration, making it feel like you're in a simulator with your coach, even if you're just hitting into a net in your backyard. Tom Patri is back, and this week we discuss more missed short putts on tour. At least this time, the player didn't avoid the media and fans. Tom also explains why your handicap might be misleading if you play most of your rounds on the same course.

In this BITE-SIZED episode of the Demystifying Mental Toughness Podcast, Dr. Bob Winters, an internationally recognised sport psychologist who has supported US Men's and Women's Open Golf Champions and many other elite professional athletes across a variety of sports joins me.  He goes on to tell me about how champions think and cultivating a limitless mindset by the way that you think. Key Learning Points: How good would you be if you didn't know how good you could be?  How good would you be if you were unrealistic in your thinking? Champions are great at not thinking realistically. Conditional confidence comes from outcomes and results not deep internal confidence. Do you still walk, talk and act like a champion when you play like a chump?

In Part 1 of Episode 32 I'm joined by Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Famer & 1997 Assistant Ryder Cup Captain Dennis Satyshur and renowned Sports Psychologist Dr. Bob Winters. Dennis Satyshur is from Erie, Pennsylvania. He won the high school state golf championship in 1968. He went to Duke on a football scholarship and captained the football team plus lettered 3 years on the golf team. He began his career in golf working at Pinehurst. He later moved to Columbia Country Club where he worked for Bill Strausbaugh for 3 years. Several years later he won the Bill Strausbaugh Award for his commitment to mentoring others. Later on he became the first Director of Golf at Caves Valley Golf Club, one of the premier courses in the country. Dennis shares stories from his time at Duke, the day he met Tom Kite, Jim Simons, and Andy North when they were all college players, how he stalked Kite to learn from him, and their friendship which led to Kite asking him to be an Assistant Captain on the 1997 Ryder Cup team. You'll also hear about his years at Caves Valley, playing alongside members like Augusta National Chairman Fred Ridley, and the culture he created there. Dr. Bob Winters makes his monthly visit to the show this week. Doc addresses what to do if we have a blow-up hole like Nelly Korda did at the Women's US Open. He also gives insights into what sets his Asian players apart from his American players.

In Part 1 of Season 11, Episode 27 I'm joined by 2017's Top 10 Most Innovative People in Golf, Bill Bergin, and The Confidence Doctor, Dr. Bob Winters. Bill Bergin is a former Tour Player and is now one of the game's Top Golf Course Designers & Architects. He and Rees Jones collaborated on The McLemore. The 18th hole there has been named one of the top finishing holes in all of golf. They've double down on a second course there called The Keep. It is set to open later this year. Bill tells about the over-mile-long cliff edge holes they created there. We also hear about his other current projects at Coronado in El Paso, Texas, and The Links at Audubon Park in Memphis. Dr. Bob shares the story of his 9th hole-in-one that he made recently while playing the Nicklaus course at the Reunion Resort. Then he shares the simplest key to releasing tension in our swings that will result in hitting better shots. You'll think, "No way" but try it and see. Let me know if it works for you.

In Part 1 of this week's podcast, my guests are former LPGA Commissioner & Author Charlie Mechem and The Confidence Doctor, Dr. Robert Winters. Charlie Mechem has recently written his third book titled, Arnie & Jack, Stories of My Long Friendship with Two Remarkable Men. We hear about how he met both men and stories from his 10 years working as a Consultant to Arnold Palmer following Charlie's tenure as Commissioner of the LPGA Tour. One of the many great stories that Charlie share is from when former PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem asked him to convince Mr. Palmer and Mr. Nicklaus to Co-Design The King & the Bear. Finchem failed to get them to agree to it multiple times. Charlie had a very unique idea how to get them to do it...and it worked. We also hear about the true mutual respect and friendship Jack and Arnie had. Charlie tells the story of having lunch with Mr. Palmer following The Masters one year. They talked about a player who was in contention laid up on 13 & 15. Neither couldn't imagine why anyone would do that. Palmer asked Charlie, do you remember how many times I finished 2nd in The Masters? Charlie said no. Mr. Palmer replied, neither do I. Hear those stories plus several other wonderful ones including Charlie playing golf with Neil Armstrong, Paul Brown, Pete Rose, and Tommy Thayer of Kiss. Dr. Bob Winters, The Confidence Doctor, joins me in the second segment. He shares tips for how to keep those intrusive negative thoughts out of our minds when we want to see all the trouble around the golf course. Change Your Mind, Change Your Game is his mantra. He also talks about how to be smarter than your doubt plus shares a wonderful story of meeting Jack Fleck out on the driving range and the impact that had on him going forward.

On this episode, I'm joined by former VP of Sales & Marketing for the Arnold Palmer Golf Company now Founder of Sqairz Golf Bob Winskowicz, The Confidence Doctor Dr. Bob Winters, and former NFL DB and Indiana State Hall of Famer Vencie Glenn. Bob Winskowicz takes us back to his days working with Mr. Palmer. He talks about their relationship and Arnie's mantra, "What's in it for the consumer?" Then he updates us on what sets the Sqairz models for 2024 apart from other golf shoes, the science behind why Sqairz helps us generate more swing speed and gain greater distance, and the brand's move into the baseball cleat market. Dr. Bob Winters is now going to be part of the show the first week of every month. This week he talks about his relationship with Arnold Palmer and the time he spent with the King. We also hear his meeting with the men's golf team at his alma mater Ball State University and their subsequent victories at the Dorado Beach Invitational and the MAC Match Play Championship. We also hear about the work he did recently with a couple of junior players over at The Concession Club, a wonderful Jack Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin co-design, and the confidence-building seminar with junior players in Colorado on the Summit Junior Tour. Rounding out this week's show is former NFL DB Vencie Glenn. Vencie played 10 seasons in the League for the Patriots, Chargers, Saints, Vikings, and Giants. I get Vencie's thoughts on the Chiefs current dynasty and Pat Mahomes' place in history. We also talk about his time playing for Tony Dunger in Minnesota when Dungy was their Defensive Coordinator. Vencie is also a really good golfer. He tells the story of his career-best round 67 plus the hole-in-one he made and the car he won at LaDainian Tomlinson's Celebrity Golf Tournament.

We kick off 2024 and Season #11 of the Next on the Tee podcast with my guests Tom Patri, Kermit Zarley, Dr. Bob Winters, and Jane Crafter. TP and I get into the deadline that wasn't with the PIF and the PGA Tour. The New Year's deadline came and went and instead of professional golf going into a new year with all this behind them, we got nothing. I also get his thoughts on the power play that some players may be trying to pull off like telling Fred Ridley that The Masters needs to up their prize money. TP also gives us a lesson on what to do if we've contracted the dreaded Y word with our putting. Kermit Zarley played his college golf at the University of Houston. He was the medalist at the 1962 National Championship and helped the Cougars win the team title as well. We hear about what it was like being a part of Houston's domination of men's college golf from the mid-50s to the mid-70s. Kermit then takes us through his 4 wins on tour and what it was like battling Jack Nicklaus at the 1972 US Open at Pebble Beach. We just scratched the surface of his great career. Dr. Bob Winters is back. He is one of the Top Sports Psychologists. He takes us through his 5 Truth Bombs to Help Create Golf Confidence. We also learn about his recent trip to Scotland where he played at Prestwick, the site of the very first Open Championship. His trip also included a stop at Dundonald Links site of the Women's Open Championship. Doc is fantastic and it was great to have him back on the show so quickly. I round out the show with a visit from Jane Crafter. Jane is from Perth, Australia. She is a two-time Australian Ladies Masters Champion plus winner of the 1997 Australian Open. We hear about those tremendous victories plus what it was like battling Nancy Lopez at the 1990 Phar-Mor at Inverrary and being a driving force behind starting the Legends of the LPGA Tour. Jane is a delight and made the segment so much fun.

On this episode of Next on the Tee, I am joined by one of the all-time great Authors and Golf TV Broadcast Producers Keith Hirshland, PGA Tour Legend Hal Sutton, Host of Grilling at the Green & BBQ aficionado Jeff Tracy, and top Sports Psychologist Dr. Bob Winters. Keith Hirshland is my all-time favorite author and one of the great people you get to meet in this life. He's written 6 wonderful books including "Song Girl, A Mystery in 2 Verses" (watch out for the CT Mascaro character), "Cover Me Boys I'm Going In, Tales of the Tube from a Broadcast Brat (my all-time favorite book), and his latest is the second installment in the Murphy Murphy series this one is titled, The Case of the Commission on Cliches. You can get all of them out on Amazon or www.keithhirshland.com. Keith and I talk about what mischief Murphy gets into this time around. It's going to be such a fun read. Keith is also the Producer of the LIV Golf broadcasts. We hear his thoughts on Season 2 of LIV golf, if he thinks there will be a Season 3 plus some of the cool new drone technology they're looking to use if/when Season 3 comes around. Hal Sutton has become a dear friend and someone I am so thankful for. He is currently putting the finishing touches on his new course design called Darmor Club located just outside of Houston. It's an old-school Scottish design using templates from C.B MacDonald and Seth Raynor. He has created a course that we can all enjoy. It is certainly on my bucket list to play. In addition to hear about Darmor Club, I also get Hal's thoughts on the Ryder Cup and if NIL deals are about to infiltrate the world of golf. Hal also shares his disappointment about how playing on Tour used to be about the privilege of playing the PGA Tour and playing for the charities each week. It was them first and you second or third. Now it's about self. You can stay up-to-date with Hal by going online to www.halsuttongolf.com or following @halsuttongolf on social media. Jeff Tracy is a BBQ Master and the Host of the Grilling at the Green show. Jeff shares his excitement over his recent first trip to a Bucee's. He talks about their barbecue and the wall of jerky. Jeff expounds on Hal's thoughts of giving back, doing for others, and the importance of benefit golf tournaments. We also talk about the crossover between the golf and horse industries AND we get his recommendation for a great barbecue sauce and rub so you can become King of the Grill. Check out Jeff online at www.grillingatthegreen.net and www.bbqnationjt.com Dr. Robert Winters is one of the top Sports Psychologists in our game. He shares a wonderful story about Arnold Palmer and the putting tip Arnie gave him as a teenager when Bob attended one of Arnold's golf academies in Pennsylvania. That tip would pay dividends years later when they played together at Bay Hill in 2007 and Arnie needed to sink a few putts to win a side wager. We also learn techniques for how to calm ourselves down after a bad shot and the importance of self-belief. Plus we hear about Dr. Bob's sports vision research that can lead to improved putting.
