    197. WHY EXACTLY DO YOU PLAY GOLF ANYWAY?
    Jul 3 2025
    https://www.siegergolf.com/ Welcome to this week’s episode of The Golfing Mind, titled “Why Exactly Do You Play Golf Anyway?” Today, we’re diving deep into the heart and soul of what drives us to pick up those clubs time and time again. Is it pure enjoyment—the simple thrill of watching that ball soar, the fresh breeze on the course, and that satisfying click of a perfect swing? Absolutely. But golf is so much richer than that. For many of us, golf gives purpose: a challenge to master ourselves, a journey toward personal growth with every swing and every round. Each shot is a mini-mission, each hole a quest. It’s this pursuit of improvement—against the course, conditions, and even our own tendencies—that gives golf its powerful sense of purpose. And let’s not forget the spirit of competitiveness. Some of us thrive on healthy rivalries: with our buddies on weekends, with ourselves in our best score, or even against a course that refuses to yield an easy round. That element of competition sharpens our minds and fuels that exhilarating love-hate relationship with par. Finally, it’s all about fun. The laughter on the green, the stories shared on the 19th hole, the camaraderie that builds over bogeys and birdies alike—it’s these light-hearted moments that turn a golf outing into a cherished memory. Join me as we explore how enjoyment, purpose, competitiveness, and pure fun blend together to answer the ultimate question: why do we play golf anyway? Learn more about your ad choices.

    https://www.siegergolf.com/ Welcome to this week's episode of The Golfing Mind, titled "The Problem with Practice." Too often, golfers head to the range and hit balls mindlessly, hoping for improvement through sheer repetition. But without a structured plan, clear objectives, and focused intent, such practice can reinforce bad habits rather than eliminate them. By adopting a more purposeful approach to practice, you'll enhance your skills and build confidence and consistency on the course. So, if you're ready to transform your practice sessions and see tangible improvements in your game, stay tuned. Let's explore strategies that can make your practice more effective and enjoyable. https://www.siegergolf.com/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • 192. HOW TO REIGNITE YOUR LOVE FOR GOLF

    192. HOW TO REIGNITE YOUR LOVE FOR GOLF
    May 29 2025
    https://www.siegergolf.com/first-lesson-free-page Sadly, too often we fall out of love with golf. There are various reasons for this, which, if we are aware of them, perhaps we can avoid them taking hold and causing us to sentence our golf clubs to a lifetime of dust collection in the basement. Many professionals, upon retirement, never play golf again; it was their job, their place of work, and they retired from work to pursue other activities, which makes perfect sense. But for the regular amateur to give up a game they once loved is something that need not be permanent. In today's podcast, we explore the reasons people fall out of love with the game and offer several suggestions and strategies to rekindle that love affair. https://www.siegergolf.com/first-lesson-free-page Learn more about your ad choices.
