The New Golf Season Is Here… Can We Finally Go Low?

Golf Exposed My Biggest Insecurity | Jared Tendler Psychoanalyses My Mental Game (Part 1)

“You’re hitting that golf shot looking to feel competent. If you don’t, you get to go into this hellscape of not really knowing who you are or what matters.” — Jared Tendler What happens when one of the world’s leading mental game coaches starts analysing your golf game in real time? In this special two-part conversation, renowned golf mental game coach Jared Tendler joins How Low Can You Go? and quickly takes the discussion somewhere neither of us expected. Rather than talking about confidence, pressure and performance in the abstract, Jared turns his attention to Dave’s golf game and uncovers the hidden beliefs, fears and insecurities that may be driving his struggles on the course. Why can someone who feels confident in most areas of life still feel embarrassment, frustration and even despair on the golf course? This episode covers golf psychology, confidence, performance anxiety, fear of failure, self-worth, improvement mindset and the mental game. Part Two, coming next week: Jared turns his attention to Chris and uncovers a very different challenge—perfectionism, high expectations and the hidden cost of chasing scratch golf. Want to go deeper?
