285: The Question That's Rewiring My Golf Brain

You ever feel like the mental game advice you try doesn't stick? That's because most mental game advice is superficial and not effective in high-pressure moments. Including some of the stuff I've put out.

That's because there has to be a deeper layer underneath that advice for your mental game to actually be effective. In this episode, we dive into that.

Key topics:

The Ineffectiveness of Common Mental Game Advice

Understanding Yourself: The Key to Improvement

The Five Whys: A Deep Dive into Self-Reflection

Processing Emotions: Closing the Loop on Bad Shots

The Long-Term Benefits of Self-Inquiry
