#89: Why Good Enough is Holding You Back in Golf and Life
Episode Notes
In this solo episode of The Scratch Golfer’s Mindset Podcast, I dive deep into the theme of “good enough” and how it quietly sabotages your golf game, your business, and your life.
While there are moments where good enough truly is enough, most of us fall into the trap of settling—choosing comfort over growth, validation over progress, and cruise control over chasing our true potential.
Through personal stories, practical examples, and lessons from both golf and life, I share how to break free from the “good enough” plateau and move toward being outstanding and even elite.
In this podcast, you’ll learn:
- Why settling for “good enough” creates hidden frustration and incongruency
- How to recognize when you’re coasting and mistaking a plateau for a peak
- The critical difference between being outstanding and staying outstanding
- Why fear of success, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism are tied to “good enough”
- How to strategically choose where to accept “good enough” and where to go all in
If you’re tired of settling, ready to raise your standards, and committed to stepping into the version of yourself you know you’re capable of becoming—on the course and in life—then this is the episode you need to hear.
