The Links Effect roadto246

Its been a while but we are back and better. 50% better in fact, as we are joined by Andy, our good friend and potential trialist for the Links Effect. 
In this episode, we stay loosely golf based (barely), but examine the reaction to the recent movement of top sports stars to consider their mental health, such as Simone Biles, Naomi Osaka and Ben Stokes. A complex issue, but one that certainly merits discussion and has undoubtedly furthered the awareness of mental health in sport. 

The boys (virtually) get together to launch 2021. The boys had a fair old bit to talk about, so this is part 1. In this (award winning) version of R&R, the boys tackle the latest virus restrictions, coping mechanisms and Rod talks about his 100 failure (or not)?. 
In part 2 and 3 we cover the Justin Thomas incident and social media response, and in part 3 we talk about how seriously we should take data in golf.

We talk about her love of golf, mental health in the context of her career and some of the challenges she has faced. Oh, and this was a surprise for Rod, who had no idea who was coming on the pod.

Hi guys
The weekly schedule means more content for you! In this weeks episode, the boys talk about week 6 in lock down and their experiences on the "fear of failure". Rob also demonstrates he has his too much time on his hands, unveiling the irresistible "Faldo or Ronaldo", and then promptly has a pop at his own Mother.
Rod approved of all of it.
