This week on The Upstate Golf Guys Podcast, we dive into one of the toughest milestones in amateur golf: breaking 80.
I talk about the struggles of getting over that hump, what you should—and definitely shouldn’t—do when you're putting together a great round, and how quickly things can change when you know you're right on the doorstep. I’ve been there the past few weeks, giving myself legitimate chances to break 80, but just barely missing the mark every time.
We get into the mental side of chasing that number, the mistakes that can derail a round, and what it takes to finally get over the hump and shoot in the 70s.
Plus, we had a fun question-and-answer segment with co-host RGB, talking golf and having some laughs along the way!
If you’ve ever stood on the course knowing you have a chance to break 80—or had a great round slip away—you’ll definitely be able to relate to this episode.
