Massive episode of Talk Birdie To Me today, in fact our longest episode so far. Could be because Mark consistently derailed the pod, but it could be that there was lots of stuff to talk about. Truth is probably somewhere in the middle.Nick has come in worked up over slow play after watching the Desert Classic in California and the Dubai Desert Classic at the weekend. Mark agrees and is amazed when Nick tells him the durations of some of the rounds. Nick gives his view again that stroke penalties should be introduced. Mark has three things he'd like to see happen that he feels will address slow play instantly. Nick's big beef is that the players are allowed to get away with it and the time limits are not being policed.In the Desert Classic, William Mouw shot 13 on a par 5, Nick saw it, Mark didn't - but it was what happened on the next hole that Nick found even more amusing.Mark mentions a major award Australia's OCM have won in the US for their work on the Medinah course near Chicago. Mark tells a story about him and Mike Clayton playing with a young kid from Queensland called Adam Scott at Cranbourne, and after seeing his first hole thinking he was rubbish.....but Adam then went on to blow them both away. Mark talks about how Adam was 'using the force' with his putting.We discuss Brandel Chamblee's tweet this week criticising LIV. Nick raises Rory McIlroy's chat with young Tom McKibbin about going to LIV or not.Top 5 from Mark is on the most disastrous holes ever. Plenty of feedback, including feedback from a tour pro giving one of our illustrious hosts a whack around the choppers. Very funny.PING Global with Nick is nearly derailed by Mark who has discovered AI this week and has been creating 'songs'. Unfortunately, he plays a few, and decides he wants to finish the pod by playing one in full - feel free to turn off when you get to that part.Nick's masterclass is inspired by William Mouw, video on socials.We're coming from Titleist and Footjoy HQ, and we're here thanks to our great partners:The watchMynumbers app, play smarter and use your data.

We hebben ons in de kou allemaal uitgesloofd op de Tee to green challenge op ChiChi. Verder kijken we uit naar een teamtraining en tellen we af naar een uitje richting Portugal. Dubai was het toneel voor de Desert Classic, favoriet Rory was niet op tik maar weet dan toch 4e te worden. Hillier begon de 4e ronde als leider maar moest in een spannende strijd de win toch laten aan Hatton. Op de Am Ex op de PGA tour deed een andere Europeaan goede zaken voor de Ryder cup, Sepp Straka. Bij TGL was Tiger aan de beurt en zijn team was kansloos tegen het team van Rose. In de korte ronde: een korte update van ons jaarspel, 'content creators', blads zijn overrated, Lofoten links, Australian Open tennis, shorttrack, voetbal, snooker en UFC.

Pushing past my comfort zone in golf has always been a challenge, but with the help of the ever-amazing Colorado Hall of Famer Kim Eaton, I went on a journey that led me all the way to the USGA Mid-Am. Today, Kim and I are reflecting on how entering some of those more intimidating tournaments can actually elevate your game. I talk about my commitment to compete in the Arizona State Match Play Tournament despite initial hesitations. One thing stays pretty consistent: The friends we make and the personal insecurities we overcome at these events always end up being as rewarding as the game itself. Kim had a packed summer. From one tournament after another–from the Senior Match Play in Colorado to an unforgettable win at the state Mid-Am–Kim gives us an insightful blow-by-blow account of her prep work all through to the end of each match. Finally, we talk about the ins and outs of organizing large golf events, and weigh the pros and cons of various locations to create the most memorable experience possible for all participants! If there's anything to take away from this episode, it's the literal game-changing power of having a mentor at your side. And that if you don't have one yet, it's time to put yourself out there and feel the pressure of tournament play!

Today I'm sitting down with mindset coach and hypnotherapist, Paul Salter, to get his unique insights on using hypnosis to elevate your golf game. Paul defines hypnosis as “a state of deep relaxation with the intention to make positive change”. A skilled hypnotherapist can help anyone silence their inner critic, and directly connect with their subconscious mind to unlearn limiting beliefs and. This, in turn, allows new, more productive beliefs to take their place. Asked how golfers can harness the power of hypnosis to take their game to the next level, Paul reminds us that “there is no shortage of mental and emotional hazards on the course.” Coming up against those hazards triggers negative self-talk, which naturally nurtures self-destructive behaviors that ruin your chances at a great, fun round. To golfers struggling with emotional control, Paul demonstrates how hypnosis can significantly boost performance and align you with your best self. Paul goes on to explain how to cultivate a winning mindset, create confidence on demand, enhance emotional resiliency, and effortlessly find flow and fun out on the course. As a bonus, we also touch on finding success both as a golfer and as a parent–at the same time! About Paul SalterHaving personally coached over 2,500 clients, Paul Salter is an expert in helping you get out of your own way by stopping self-sabotage at the source. With an extensive background working with elite Collegiate, Professional, and Olympic athletes as a Sports Dietitian, his unique coaching system leverages 15 years of coaching with an emphasis on hypnosis, subconscious reprogramming, mindset shift training, and proven strategies to help you unstuck yourself. The result: You break through limiting beliefs, overcome mental roadblocks, and conquer the fears holding you back from unlocking your full potential.Connect with Paul: Scratch Golfer's Mindset PodcastInstagram"X"Free Hypnosis MP3 Recording: HereNewsletter: HereEmail: paul@unstuckyourselfmindset.comDon't forget about the T-Time Swag Giveaway!

What a fun episode we have today with Evan Singer and Matt Cermak from The Par Train podcast joining us. We are filling you in on 5 ways you can be miserable on the golf course – this is a must-listen! Key Highlights: Expecting what you do on the range to happen on the course. A warm-up is just that: a warm-up. Your best swing or putt is an outlier, not an average. Trying to shoot your best score. When was the last time you actually shot your best score when you “tried” to shoot your best score? Don't reinvent a past victory. Instead, recommit to earn a new victory. That is, don't look at the finish line. Focus instead on the process—the journey—that will result in a win. Trying to impress others. Since we're only human, we can't help but care what others think; but, when we let the opinions of others influence our performance on the golf course, we end up doing worse than if we just put aside that insecurity. Assume you won't make mistakes. Just because your last round was perfect doesn't mean this round will be perfect. Golf is a game of recovery. Don't get too high, and don't get too low. Take care not to rest on your laurels after every good shot and beat yourself up after every bad shot. If you get too high, you create unnecessary pressure on yourself come the next swing; and if you get too low, you gradually lose the confidence and motivation to go on.   Check out The Par Train here: The Par Train   To join the Desert Classic Interest List, click here.     Don't forget about the T-Time Swag Giveaway!

I'm sitting down with JGAA junior golfer Ashley Shaw and her mom, Sylvia, to look back on Ashley's remarkable journey from local competitions to the LPGA Founders Cup!

Finally, Ashley gives us a look behind the curtain at her athletic upbringing, her multi-sport talents, and the tight-knit family dynamic that was (and still is) essential to her success.

I'm back with Scott Fawcett, founder of the DECADE Course Management System, to get the ins-and-outs of his unique approach to breaking 80 this summer!   This time, we're really getting into the weeds of course management strategy. Scott highlights the limitations of traditional stat tracking and the benefits of focusing on metrics that truly reflect your game, while examining the relationship between putting and overall scoring.   We discuss the power of keeping a “mental scorecard” and why it's so important to have a clear intention for each shot. For golfers averaging scores in the high 80s, tracking meaningful metrics like greens in regulation and redefining what constitutes a successful tee shot can lead to performance optimization.   We dive into distance measurement next. Get Scott's expert insights on using launch monitors with your specific golf ball to pinpoint true iron distances and eliminate outliers. Learn how PGA pros like Aaron Wise use this data to make strategic adjustments, leading to more consistent, reliable shots.   Finally, we're exploring how speed training systems like the Rypstick and TheStack can take your swing speed to new heights!   Connect with Scott and Decade Golf Here: Instagram Decade Golf   To join the Desert Classic Interest List, click here.     Don't forget about the T-Time Swag Giveaway!

I'm sitting down with Bo Watson and Shannon Shuskey, whose book In the Zone Secrets unlocks the profound connection between the mind and athletic performance. Listen in as we explore the mental strategies and techniques that can take your golf game to the next level, even when you're off the green. From the concept of “caveman golf” to harnessing the power of mental imagery and entering the “zone,” Bo and Shannon prove that mastering your mind might just be that missing link between where you are now and where you want to be. Bo and Shannon also offer practical advice on how busy players can optimize their game in as little as 30 minutes a day, leveraging the creativity of the right brain for optimal performance. They talk about how mental imagery not only assists in skill improvement but also serves as a tool for managing tournament anxiety.   About In the Zone Mental Training: In The Zone Mental Training is the world's first mental program backed by science that helps athletes get into the zone at a flip of a switch. Shannon Shuskey's accidental discovery of these training principles in the 90s led him to go from a struggling skater to becoming a National Champion and Record Holder. When Bo Watson met with Shannon in the Summer of 2018 and learned the reason behind the success of his system, he wanted to see if it could work for golf too. To test it, he went out and played a total of 8 rounds in 2018 cold turkey (no practice between). The result was 6 out of the 8 rounds were under par and the last round was 9 holes where he shot 4 under with 3 lip out birdies.

We're live from week two of the Desert Classic! Alongside Kathy Hart Wood, Justin Klemballa, and Kim Eaton, I discuss five ways to become a better partner in tournament golf.  Listen in as we break down the psychological side of the game with the three C's that make up every great golfer, and how you can adapt a mindset out on the course that can help you maximize these three qualities. Kathy talks about the pitfalls of pressure, maintaining pace of play, and the keys to seamless communication with your partner. Justin also throws in a practical tip or two on escaping bunkers and “setting the tone for the hole”, taking into account differing levels of confidence between you and your partner.   We finish on a high, touching on the power of positivity.
