Stop Letting Your Mind Ruin Your Golf Game + Building Confident Junior Players

This week on Next on the Tee, we’re working on two areas that can make a huge difference in the game: what happens between our ears and how we develop the next generation of golfers. Mindset expert Ricky Kalmon, author of the upcoming Leverage Your Mindset for Golfers, Breaking Mental Barriers and Elevating Your Game, shares ways to quiet negative thoughts, handle pressure, recover from bad shots, and stop letting that one dreaded hole beat us before we even get there. Ricky explains “AutoThoughts,” the importance of a strong mental routine, and why sometimes the most powerful thing we can tell ourselves is simply, “I got this.” Then Lee-Anne Gilchrist, CEO of the Golf Performance Academy, joins me for an important conversation about developing junior golfers. We talk about recognizing talent and desire, building their confidence, focusing on development instead of scores, and how parents can support their young players without unknowingly adding pressure. Two great teachers. Two different sides of the game. One episode packed with advice to help us play better—and help the next generation grow. Thank you for pressing play and joining me on Next on the Tee—where golf legends live and your game gets better.
