Ep. 163: The Stories, Struggles, and Secrets Behind High Level Pro Golf with Mark Mouland

I sat down with two-time European Tour winner, former British Boys champion, and Welsh golf representative Mark Mouland for a candid conversation about the golden era of European golf, the short game secrets that still hold up today, and the mindset that separates players who last from those who fade.

You’ll discover:

• What it was really like competing alongside Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo, Bernhard Langer, Ian Woosnam, Fred Couples, Payne Stewart, and Ernie Els
• Why today’s obsession with clubhead speed may be costing players control in the wind
• The simple short-game routine Mouland built as a kid, and why it still carries him now
• How he won the 1988 Dutch Open in a finish that nearly turned into a scorecard disaster
• The mental approach he used to come back from a devastating car crash that broke both ankles

Mark also shares what made Seve unforgettable, why Faldo’s silence was actually a weapon, and the one piece of putting advice he believes every golfer should know. If you want old-school golf wisdom, unbelievable tour stories, and practical lessons on pressure, confidence, and craft, this episode is essential listening. Perfect for golfers who love the history of the game, players trying to sharpen their short game, and anyone who wants to hear how legends think when everything is on the line.
