  • You’re a High Achiever… So Why Is Golf So Mentally Brutal?
    Nov 5 2025

    You’re a high achiever. You’ve got confidence, success, and mental toughness in your career, your home or other sports—and yet golf is messing with your head. Why is that? In this episode, we’re talking about the mental game of golf for high performers who are used to crushing it in life, but feel totally thrown off on the course. If you’ve ever wondered why your work confidence doesn’t transfer to the first tee, or why perfectionism is killing your performance, you’re not alone. Golf challenges even the strongest mindsets. I’ll break down why your usual mental strategies backfire, how to stop overthinking every shot, and what to do when golf feels more frustrating than fun. If you want to build real golf confidence, stop judging yourself, and start enjoying the game again—this one’s for you.

  • How to Commit to Every Shot in Golf (Without Overthinking It)
    Oct 29 2025

    Struggling to “just commit” over the ball during a round of golf? You’re not alone. In this episode, Coach Kathy breaks down the 3 steps to true commitment in golf so you can think clearly, stop overthinking, and actually trust your swing. You’ll learn why commitment is a mental game skill, not a command — and how to get your brain into a calm, certain, confident state before every shot.

    When you commit to every shot, your golf swing becomes freer, your decisions get better, and your results finally match your potential. 💪

  • When Someone Mentions Your Golf Score (and You Fall Apart)
    Oct 22 2025

    Ever had a great round going until someone says, “Wow, you’re playing amazing today,” and suddenly… you can’t find the fairway? Yep, this one’s for you.

    In this episode, I talk about what really happens in your brain when someone mentions your score, your swing, or even the trouble up ahead—and why you can’t seem to shake it once you’ve heard it. I’ll walk you through how to take back control, stop giving other people the keys to your mental game, and stay focused on your shot, not their words.

    We’ll unpack why the words people say on the golf course are neutral until you make them mean something. And once you learn to manage that, you’ll play freer, calmer, and way more confident golf.

    So next time someone says, “You’re playing great,” you’ll smile, stay steady, and finish strong.

  • Track Your Mental Game — And Watch Your Scores Drop
    Oct 1 2025

    Join Your Mental Caddy today

    Ever notice how you stop doing the very thing that helps your golf the most? In this episode, I share a live coaching clip all about CCC golf — Calm, Certain, Confident. When you track how many shots you hit from your best mental state, your scorecard starts to tell the truth: more CCC = lower scores.

    But here’s the catch — your brain loves to slip back into old habits. That’s why mental game work isn’t one-and-done. It’s a practice, just like your swing. In this episode, you’ll hear how one golfer rediscovered the power of the CCC tracker, what the three stages of awareness look like, and why consistency is everything.

    If you’ve ever said, “I thought I had this figured out already,” this is your reminder that your golf brain needs reps too. Track it, repeat it, and watch your scores drop.

  • How to Turn Around a Bad Start to Your Golf Round
    Sep 17 2025

    Join me in Your Mental Caddy HERE

    Ever hit a couple off shots to start your round and immediately think, “Ugh, here we go…”?

    In this episode, I’m calling out the lie that a bad start means a bad round. I’ll show you how to stop letting the first few holes hijack your whole mindset, how to neutralize early mistakes, and why laughing it off (yes—even the coffee spill) might be your new secret weapon. Because one hole doesn’t get to decide your whole day.
