Send us Fan Mail

We sit down with PGA Tour winner Charlie Beljan to trace his climb from junior golf to the big tour and the mentor-driven grind that shaped his game. Along the way, we unpack the mindset that wins under pressure and the simple, repeatable habits that help regular golfers score better fast. 
• Charlie’s early years in Arizona and the breakthrough U.S. Junior Amateur win 
• Steve Dallas’s role as mentor plus the work ethic that follows 
• What Q-School pressure feels like and why it beats major-championship nerves 
• The goal of playing the Masters and the PGA of America path toward the PGA Championship 
• The Disney tournament panic attack story and how “survival mode” can quiet swing thoughts 
• Handling criticism and why thick skin matters for anyone competing 
• Teaching philosophy: make the game simpler and teach playing golf over building a perfect swing 
• Course management basics: eliminate doubles, avoid hero shots, miss in the right places 
• Why wedge play, chipping, and putting create the fastest scoring gains 
• Practice that translates: simulate holes on the range and protect tempo from range to first tee 
• Reality check: even top pros mishit shots, they just recover and keep momentum
