  • 371: How Your Self-Image Shapes Your Game + Pebble Beach Caddy Interview
    Feb 11 2025

    Get started with WHYGOLF Training Aids - the best training aids to help your practice sessions (use code WICKEDSMART to save 15%).

    Your self-image is the hidden force behind every round you play. Whether you realize it or not, the way you see yourself as a golfer directly impacts your confidence, decision-making, and ability to perform under pressure. If you’ve ever felt stuck at a certain handicap or struggled with consistency, it’s not just about mechanics—it’s about who you believe you are on the course.

    In this solo episode, I break down why self-image is the missing link for so many golfers and how you can start thinking, acting, and training like your future self—starting today. When you listen to this episode, you will learn:

    • Why your identity as a golfer dictates your results.
    • A journaling exercise that will help you embody your future self.
    • Practical strategies to reprogram your mindset for lower scores.
    • Why taking consistent action builds confidence faster than motivation.
    • How to shift your internal self-talk to match the golfer you want to become.
    • The difference between playing to your handicap vs. playing to your potential.

    If you want to break 80, win tournaments, or just feel more confident on the course, it starts with seeing yourself as that golfer before you get there. This episode will help you bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be.

    Plus, I'll share how I began to upgrade my self-image in 2016 leading up to Pebble Beach. And interview Nicholas Tucker, a 10-year PGA Tour caddy.
