Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: You don’t “have” the lead — you only have your next shot. Treat each one with the same intention.Offense wins in golf. Shifting to “protect” a score leads to tentative swings and poor decisions.Commitment is clarity. A vague shot plan leads to vague swings. Clear images = clear results.Most bad shots stem from mental interference, not swing flaws — especially under pressure.Return to presence by letting go. Your body is always here. It’s your mind that time travels.“Love the way it leaves.” Focus on your process, not the outcome.Unconditional confidence means trusting your skills even when results aren't there yet. Key Quotes: “You’re not holding the lead. You’re just holding onto an idea that doesn’t exist yet.”“Golfers say, ‘If I can just par in…’ — that’s when the mind shifts into protection mode and everything tightens.”“A vague image produces a vague swing. Clarity of image is clarity of action.”“If you’re not present on 15, your body’s already in the bar on 19.”“You never calm up. You calm down. So stop trying to be up-tight and start getting down-settled.”“Focus on loving the way it leaves. That’s all you can control.”“When you're out of your own way, your true skill level shows up.” Time Stamps: 00:00: Rory McIlroy's Performance at the Masters09:07: The Defensive Mindset in Golf14:01: Maintaining an Offensive Mindset19:00: Being Present in the Moment23:09: Caveman Lessons: The Roots of Fear and Awareness26:04: The PAR Approach: Preparation, Action, and Response30:20: Focusing on Process Over Outcome32:33: Understanding Unconditional Confidence35:15: Cultivating Unconditional Confidence38:41: Practicing Mindfulness Off the Course42:30: Common Misconceptions About Mindfulness44:32: The Billboard Message: ...

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: Tournament Golf Exposes the Truth: The added pressure, emotion, and unpredictability of match play reveal where your mindset and game are truly at—and where they need to grow.Stay in the Fight—Always: Even after a bad shot or penalty, you’re only one great swing away from turning the hole around. Never mentally check out.Control What You Can Control: You can't police every rule or correct every shady scorecard. What you can control is your attitude, effort, and energy.Your Emotional State Is Contagious: Whether it’s your playing partner melting down or opponents bickering, you must protect your energy and stay anchored in your process.Audit Your Self-Talk and Body Language: The way you speak to yourself after a mistake either drains or fuels your next shot. Choose awareness over autopilot.Routine Is Your Reset Button: A consistent pre-shot routine was the anchor during high-pressure moments. When things go sideways, your routine keeps you grounded. Key Quotes: “You are not judge, jury, and executioner out there. Control your ball—and your response.”“Even when I hit a ball OB, I stayed in the fight. I didn’t skip my routine. I didn’t give up.”“Every missed shot is just an invitation to execute the next one better.”“Tournament golf just hits different—and I fucking loved it.”“You can’t afford to leak energy worrying about things beyond your control.”“Pat’s opponent lived rent-free in his head—and it cost him the round. Don’t give away your power.”“I may not have played my best golf, but mentally, I showed up like a pro. And that’s the foundation of what’s coming next.” Time Stamps: 00:00: Introduction to Member Member Weekend05:03: First Impressions and Initial Experiences10:58: Learning the Rules of Match Play15:01: Mental Resilience and Self-Talk20:34: Tournament Golf: The Thrill of Competition24:47: Navigating the Course Challenges27:28: Lessons from Competitive Play29:45: Staying Committed to the Process32:14: Managing Emotions and Energy on the Course35:49: The Importance of Team Dynamics38:18: Reclaiming Your Power40:05: ...
