S12, Ep 54 Part 2: The Doctors Are In: Fixing Your Mental Game, the PGA Tour & College Golf

from next on the tee Golf Podcast · host Chris Mascaro

The Doctors Are In to help fix what's ailing you, whether your mental game needs pumping up or the PGA Tour, college golf, and the NIL have you feeling sick. We start things off with our monthly visit from The Confidence Doctor, Dr. Bob Winters, who shares updates on the success his players are having at the high school, college, and AJGA levels. Dr. Bob explains the concept of social loafing with respect to golf, offers candid thoughts on the PGA Tour doing the opposite of growing the game, and delivers a powerful tip for tournament golfers facing self-doubt—believing you truly belong. He also breaks down his memorable D.U.M.B. Golf acronym. Then I welcome Doc Merrill, Head Golf Coach at the University of Maine at Augusta, for his Next on the Tee debut. A former medical physician for 37 years, Doc shares his journey into coaching, insights into his program, the impact of NIL on his roster, and stories from recent tournaments. He also recounts meeting Arnold Palmer at the 1975 U.S. Open and previews his upcoming book. Insightful, honest, and engaging—sit back, relax, and enjoy this hour…because the doctors are in.
