The Mount Rushmore of Golf Fears (And How to Beat Them) w/ Josh Nichols

Golf mental coach Josh Nichols joins us for a deep dive into the real mental game: separating “band-aid” tactics from the bedrock beliefs that actually free you up to play. Josh shares what he learned on the way to the U.S. Mid-Am final, plus why most golfers’ biggest fears quietly run the show. You’ll hear practical tools for pre-round prep, handling first-tee nerves, designing a pre-shot routine you can trust, and the underrated skill of “accessing” your ability under pressure. We also get into identity, values, and when doing nothing (and letting variance normalize) is the smartest move. Perfect for competitive players and weekend golfers who want confidence without playing tight. Check out Josh's podcast, The Mental Golf Show. Learn more about his coaching on his website here.
