Pushing past my comfort zone in golf has always been a challenge, but with the help of the ever-amazing Colorado Hall of Famer Kim Eaton, I went on a journey that led me all the way to the USGA Mid-Am.

Today, Kim and I are reflecting on how entering some of those more intimidating tournaments can actually elevate your game. I talk about my commitment to compete in the Arizona State Match Play Tournament despite initial hesitations. One thing stays pretty consistent: The friends we make and the personal insecurities we overcome at these events always end up being as rewarding as the game itself.

Kim had a packed summer. From one tournament after another–from the Senior Match Play in Colorado to an unforgettable win at the state Mid-Am–Kim gives us an insightful blow-by-blow account of her prep work all through to the end of each match.

Finally, we talk about the ins and outs of organizing large golf events, and weigh the pros and cons of various locations to create the most memorable experience possible for all participants!

If there’s anything to take away from this episode, it’s the literal game-changing power of having a mentor at your side. And that if you don’t have one yet, it’s time to put yourself out there and feel the pressure of tournament play!

When my mom accepted the invitation to join us for the 2024 California Crush Invitational, I knew it would be an unforgettable experience. My sister Alix joins me today to reflect on Mom’s first-ever golf tournament experience and the lessons women golfers can take to heart through her example!

From Napa to Tampa, Mom’s unique challenges as a first-timer speak to the women out there who are thinking about taking the leap into their first tournament, but for one reason or another, they are holding back–whether due to a higher handicap index or otherwise.

With Mom being a casual golfer by nature, Alix and I never felt prouder witnessing her achieve her first birdie! She adapted beautifully to the formalities of an 18-hole match, thanks in no small part to the supportive environment we were immersed in throughout those two amazing days!

Of course, it wouldn’t be a conversation with Alix without a diversion into the latest golf fashion trends (can you say “wide-leg pants”?). After a quick discussion on said trends, Alix and I wrap things up by talking about the power of connecting with like-minded individuals who share our passion for women empowering women out on the course!

I’m sitting down with the amazing Blair O’Neal. A TV personality, golfer, and model, Blair shares how she’s able to seamlessly balance a thriving career, motherhood, and her passion for golf!

Blair talks to us about raising two young boys while managing the demanding travel schedule that comes with a dual career in media and sports. She shares stories from her formative years at Arizona State University, her professional experiences on the LPGA Symetra Tour (then known as the LPGA Futures Tour), and her current work with Golf Channel and Golf Pass.

We’re also diving into the exclusive world of celebrity golf tournaments, and draw from our experiences regarding sharing personal life on social media. We weigh the balance between transparency and privacy as “influencers”, and how our choices as content creators affect audience engagement.

We also talk about the thrill of participating in events like the Hilton Grand VacationsTournament of Champions in Orlando, where celebrities and LPGA Tour players alike get to bond within a unique and pressure-free setting. Blair then shares her experiences playing alongside top athletes like Nelly Korda and Brooke Henderson.

Finally, Blair touches on her goals in the golf media industry, as well as practical tips on maintaining a healthy lifestyle as a high performer.

• Justin kicks things off talking about the differences between outcome goals and process goals, and why our long-term success in any endeavor–golf or otherwise–depends on making more of the latter.
• Drawing from his personal experience, Justin illustrates why keeping your focus on the present moment during tournament play is one of the best things you can do, and why obsessively checking your score ultimately makes little difference on your ability to win!
• “All I can do is try to hit great shots,” Justin says. “If I do that, I’m stacking the odds in my favor and do my best. If my best beats everybody else that day, I win. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t!”
• Finally, Justin shares why being your own cheerleader is a game-changer for building confidence, the self-talk secret that separates great golfers from average golfers, and his career goals moving forward.
