Ever call yourself a dumb ass after a bad shot and shrug it off like it’s no big deal? Hate to break it to you, but your brain doesn’t think it’s funny. In this episode, I’m sharing a story about my client who decided to drop her self-trash talk for just one round—and everything changed. She didn’t magically shoot a career low, but she actually enjoyed herself, felt proud, and even stuck around to socialize (instead of bolting to her car in shame).

We’ll talk about why every word you say to yourself matters, how negative self-talk is just a habit you can break, and why your golf game doesn’t define who you are. Ready to play 18 proud without the self-inflicted bruises? Let’s go.
