Q and A 13.0: Playing With Freedom Part 1
In part one of our Q&A, we dig into what it actually means to play freely when things aren’t going exactly how you want. We talk about how much a player should adjust during a round, the difference between calibrating and tinkering, and why better players need to be able to make small adjustments without turning everything into a mechanical change. We also get into acceptance—what it actually means, why it doesn’t mean being passive, and how it can give you a better starting point to make...

Ryan Hager: Skill vs. Mechanics
Ryan Hager is back for part two of our conversation where we dig into the relationship between technology, coaching, and what actually helps golfers improve. We talk about how social media has changed golf instruction, the benefits and dangers of learning from online tips, and why understanding your own swing matters more than chasing the next fix. We also get into skill versus mechanics, why good technique doesn't always produce good contact, and how golfers can learn to control the clubface...

What If You’re Not Good Enough?
What if you give something everything you have and find out you still aren’t good enough? In this episode, we discuss why avoiding that question creates more anxiety, hesitation and regret. We break down the role of radical acceptance, radical honesty and radical ownership in pursuing difficult goals and performing freely without any guarantee it will work out. We also talk about risk, luck, failure and why being good enough means very little if you never give yourself the chance to perform w...

On Time 2.0
What does it actually mean to be “on time?” In this episode, Raymond and Chase revisit one of the foundational concepts behind stable confidence and performance: being present. They explore why being on time is much more than “one shot at a time,” and why the brain’s natural tendency to worry about the future and replay the past makes it so difficult to perform freely when it matters most. Topics include: – Why anxiety pulls us into the future – How past failures become future fears &nb...

Q & A 12.0
In this episode, Raymond and Chase answer listener questions on sleep, learning, memory, intrusive thoughts, the yips, target focus, lowering handicaps, and why tying your identity to outcomes makes golf feel so threatening. They discuss why sleep before and after practice helps learning stick, why “don’t three-putt” usually makes three-putting more likely, and why stepping off a shot is sometimes the best decision you can make. They also dig into the gap between holding a target in your mind...
