The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast

In this powerhouse episode of The Scratch Golfer’s Mindset Podcast, I’m joined by LPGA professional and mindset expert Debbie O’Connell to dive deep into what mindset really means—and how it differs from the mental game of golf.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like you’re bringing emotional baggage from life onto the course, this episode will feel like it was made for you.

Debbie and I discuss how your subconscious beliefs, emotions, and early life programming shape your identity as a golfer—and how shifting these beliefs can spark massive breakthroughs both on and off the course. From self-sabotage to self-worth, from fear to flow state, we cover it all.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• The key difference between mental game strategies and true mindset training
• Why emotional reactions on the course are often rooted in childhood patterns
• How to unearth and release limiting beliefs that create performance plateaus
• What it really takes to break through your “internal thermostat” and shoot lower scores
• How your identity shapes your results—and how to rewrite it
• The role of flow state, presence, and emotional regulation in consistent performance
• How golf is a mirror of your life—and how growth in one reflects in the other

Get your pencils ready and start listening.
