222. WHAT A CLUB PROFESSIONAL AT A MAJOR CAN TEACH US.
This week on The Golfing Mind, we’re taking a different look at the PGA Championship — not through the eyes of the superstars, but through the remarkable stories of the twenty club professionals who qualify to play alongside the very best golfers in the world. These are men who spend most of their days giving lessons, running competitions, helping struggling golfers, and working long hours at their local clubs. Yet once a year, they walk onto the first tee of a major championship beside players like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm. And perhaps the biggest surprise is this — many of them possess mental qualities ordinary golfers desperately need:perspective, resilience, emotional control, patience, and freedom from perfectionism. So today, we’ll explore powerful lessons club professionals can teach us about pressure, performance, and why quieter minds often produce better golf. https://www.siegergolf.com/online-courses Learn more about your ad choices.

220. 5 INSTANT MENTAL FIXES FOR YOUR MISSED SHORT PUTTING WOES
https://www.siegergolf.com/online-courses There’s nothing in golf quite as frustrating—or as costly—as missed short putts. The kind you know you should make. The kind that linger in your mind long after the round is over. And yet, for most golfers, these misses aren’t about poor technique—they’re about what’s happening mentally in the moment of truth. In this week’s episode of The Golfing Mind, we’re cutting through the noise and going straight to the real issue: your thinking under pressure.

Today, I’m sharing five instant mental fixes that you can apply immediately. No swing changes, no complicated routines—just simple, powerful adjustments that will help you putt with more confidence, more freedom, and far greater consistency.

Most importantly, you’ll learn how to bring calm, focus, and total commitment to every short putt you face. Because make no mistake—hole more short putts, and your scores will change fast.

219. MASTERS 2026, A QUICK REVIEW OF FIVE PLAYERS
This week on The Golfing Mind, we take a deep dive into one of the most compelling tournaments in the game — the Masters — and, more importantly, what it can teach us. This isn’t just a recap of who played well and who didn’t. It’s a focused review of five players whose performances offer powerful lessons for every golfer, regardless of level. From composure under extreme pressure to the ability to recover from setbacks, from disciplined course management to unwavering commitment to each shot, these players demonstrate that success at Augusta is as much mental as it is technical. We’ll break down what they did, how they thought, and—crucially—how you can apply those same principles to your own game. Because the truth is, you don’t need to hit it like a tour professional to think like one. Whether it’s handling the emotional swings of a major championship Sunday or maintaining clarity when everything is on the line, the Masters provides a blueprint for better golf between the ears. So, if you want to sharpen your mindset, lower your scores, and play with more control and confidence, stay with us. There’s a lot to learn. https://www.siegergolf.com/online-courses Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

218 THE DREADED MELTDOWN
https://www.siegergolf.com/online-courses Every golfer knows the feeling. One bad swing… a missed putt… a bounce that goes against you—and suddenly, the round begins to unravel. Not because of your technique, but because of your reaction. Welcome to The Dreaded Meltdown. In this episode of The Golfing Mind, we’re tackling one of the most destructive forces in golf: loss of emotional control. Why does anger take over so quickly? Why do we rush, force shots, and make worse decisions just when we need clarity the most? We’ll break it down into ten key insights: the emotional hijack that derails your thinking, the “two-shot penalty” that follows frustration, the danger of unrealistic expectations, the physical tension that ruins your swing, and the spiral of negative self-talk. We’ll also explore why playing too quickly makes things worse, how ego fuels anger, the importance of a reset routine, the trap of catastrophic thinking, and why smart decision-making disappears under pressure. Most importantly, we’ll give you practical tools to stop the damage—simple strategies to reset, regain control, and get your round back on track. Because in golf, it’s not the mistake that beats you… it’s what you do next. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

217. US MASTERS PREVIEW
Robin with special guests, Mike Kershaw and Tom Needham, explore the first major of the year is upon us—and with it, all the anticipation, pressure, and possibility that make the US Masters unlike anything else in golf. Augusta National doesn’t just test technique; it exposes temperament, patience, and the ability to think clearly when everything matters most. In this episode of The Golfing Mind, we look ahead to the 2026 Masters through a different lens—the six inches between the ears. What separates those who contend on Sunday from those who fade? Why do some players rise to the occasion on these iconic greens, while others are undone by the moment? We’ll explore the unique psychological demands of Augusta: the necessity of emotional control, the discipline to stay present, and the courage to trust your game under immense scrutiny. We’ll also identify the players most mentally equipped to handle the challenge, and what their approach can teach every golfer listening. Learn more about your ad choices.

216 WHEN CHAMPIONS CRACK : WHAT SHANE LOWRY TEACHES US BEFORE BAY HILL
https://www.siegergolf.com/online-courses This week on The Golfing Mind, we examine pressure — how it builds, how it leaks, and how it ultimately decides tournaments. We begin with the visible frustration of Shane Lowry last weekend, and explore the heart of what is really going on — a reminder that even major champions are not immune to emotional drift. When momentum turns, it is rarely the swing that collapses first. It is the internal narrative. From there, we turn to Bay Hill and the searching examination that is the Arnold Palmer Invitational. With penal rough, firm greens and swirling winds, this course punishes impatience and exposes ego. We’ll analyse five leading contenders — including Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy — and explore why emotional regulation, not raw talent, may determine the outcome. Because at Bay Hill, the winner won’t be the player who avoids mistakes. It will be the player who recovers from them fastest. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

215. FACTS, FIGURES AND STATISTICS
https://www.siegergolf.com/offers/BaAEYBog/checkout This week on The Golfing Mind, we are stripping golf back to the cold, hard evidence. No clichés. No swing theories. Just Facts, Figures and Statistics. Over the past twenty years, the average PGA Tour drive has increased by more than ten yards. Ball speeds have surged. Players train like elite athletes. Technology has refined every inch of performance. And yet — scoring has improved by barely half a stroke. How can that be? We’ll explore the rise of Strokes Gained — the statistical revolution that exposes exactly where tournaments are won and lost. We’ll examine Greens in Regulation, sand save percentages, driving accuracy, and putting averages. We’ll reveal how less than one stroke per round often separates the world number one from the player ranked fiftieth. And here’s the uncomfortable truth: The margins are microscopic. One poor decision. One emotional lapse. One moment of doubt. The numbers prove what I’ve argued for years — excellence in golf lives inside tiny gaps. And those gaps are not technical. They are psychological. Because when performance differences are measured in tenths of a stroke… The mind becomes the ultimate differentiator. Let’s examine the data — and then read between the lines. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
