In this episode of Think Above Par, we’re excited to share a powerful interview with Dr. Alison Curdt, a dual PGA and LPGA Master Professional, and a clinical sports psychologist. Kathy and Dr. Curdt dive into the mental side of golf, exploring topics that affect golfers at all levels.  Dr. Curdt shares her unique approach to balancing golf coaching, psychology, and competition while still being an active competitor herself.

Key takeaways include:
