Episode description

Real talk time. Your phone might be the biggest threat to your golf game. Not your swing. Not your putting. That little dopamine machine in your pocket.

In this episode, I break down why picking up your phone during a round—especially in a tournament—is silently wrecking your focus, raising your stress, and pulling you out of your zone. I share a wild story about a client who got a “congrats” text before he even finished his round... and what happened next.

We’ll talk about the psychology behind your scroll urges, the science of distractions (yep, it takes 23 minutes to refocus), and how to break the habit without judgment. Plus, what to do instead when you're tempted to check.

Let’s protect your mental game like it's part of your equipment.

Leave the phone in your bag.
