The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast

What do an NFL spitting incident and a sideline scuffle have to do with your scorecard? 

Everything—because they expose how quickly a Destructive Mindset Program (DMP) can hijack your brain and your behavior. 

In this solo episode of The Scratch Golfer’s Mindset, I break down the trigger → emotion → belief → behavior chain, discuss how it plays out on the course (and at work, and at home), and share how to dismantle these patterns so you stop self-sabotaging and finally play to your potential.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why triggers flip your brain “offline” and create tunnel vision
• The simple flowchart of every DMP: Trigger → Emotion → Belief → Behavior
• How anger, fear, or pressure quietly rewrite your self-talk mid-round
• Why “survive, not thrive” is your default—and how to reverse it
• Rapid reset tools (breathwork, presence, gratitude) you can use between shots
• The deeper identity-level work (mindset coaching + hypnosis) that rewires patterns

Listen now if you’re done with two-steps-forward, three-steps-back rounds and ready to build beliefs and behaviors that hold under pressure.
