    Apr 23 2025
    Gary Nicol joins The Mental Golf Show. Gary is a Performance Consultant, and co-author along with Karl Morris of The Lost Art Of Putting, The Lost Art Of Playing Golf, and The Lost Art Of The Short Game. Topics: - Golf is often seen as an identity rather than an activity. - Players frequently tie their self-worth to their scores. - The human brain struggles to stay present and often projects into the future. - Influencing performance involves intention, attention, and attitude. - Asking positive questions can shift mindset and focus. - Resetting one's mindset can be done after every hole, not just at the turn. - We tend to live out the stories we tell ourselves about our performance. - Golf should be fun, and enjoyment is key to performance. - Self-talk can significantly impact performance and mindset. - Clarity of intention is crucial for effective performance. A good coach directs attention to useful areas. - Dividing attention can hinder performance. - Single-point focus is essential in golf. - Finding what works for you is crucial. - Dopamine hits from winning can lead to dissatisfaction. - Managing expectations is key in youth sports. - Golf should be enjoyable, not a grind. - Acceptance is a skill that can be developed. - Mistakes are a natural part of the game. - Emotions in golf can be both a challenge and a motivator. ----- Gary Nicol's links Books on Amazon performanceprinciples.co.uk thelostartofgolf.com Instagram X ----- 🏌️‍♂️🗓️ Basic Practice Plan Template A practice plan robust enough to help you actually improve, but flexible enough to handle the chaos of your life.
