What if your inconsistency on the golf course wasn’t about mechanics—but about how your brain is wired to learn, handle stress, and perform under pressure?

In this episode of The Scratch Golfer’s Mindset Podcast, I sit down with John Weir, creator of Mental Golf Type, to explore how personality wiring, hypnosis, and mental fitness shape your golf performance and your life.

John breaks down why self-image is the foundation of confidence, how stress changes your swing before mechanics ever do, and why “being you” is the ultimate competitive advantage.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

What hypnosis really is (and why it’s a natural state of mind).
The role of brainwaves in learning, confidence, and performance.
How self-image is formed—and how to reshape it for success.
Why celebrating positive shots accelerates growth.
The difference between mental game strategies and mindset training.
How your personality type influences stress, learning, and consistency.
Why “being you” is the fastest path to your zone state.

Whether you’re trying to break 90, win your club championship, or gain an edge in business, John’s insights will help you understand yourself at a deeper level—and show you how to align with your strengths for lasting success.

Get your pencils ready and start listening.
