T-Time with Tori Totlis Tori Totlis

In the first of this two-part conversation, I’m sitting down with Scott Fawcett, founder of the DECADE Course Management System, to learn his unique approach to playing golf with intention–beyond the swing.
 
Listen in as Scott shares how the game's evolution places equal weight on both the mental and the physical, drawing parallels between golf and chess. Whether you're a club-level player or an aspiring pro, Scott’s Decade system offers a simplified approach to understanding the complexities of the game, helping you play smarter, not harder.
 
We then take a deep dive into putting performance, breaking down the concepts of tracking putts and strokes gained. Discover the importance of walking off putt distances and why nailing long putts can dramatically impact your game. Professor Mark Broadie’s strokes gained method offers a nuanced, step-by-step approach that goes beyond just counting total putts.
 
Scott and I end the first part of our discussion with our thoughts on the types of mental health challenges faced by golfers at all levels. We explore the emotional and psychological strains of the sport, using drawing on our personal experiences to highlight the importance of having a support system to keep you afloat. From Tiger Woods’ legendary mental resilience to the tragic story of Grayson Murray, we’re bringing to the surface the need for more mental health awareness in the golfing community.

I’m sitting down with Brooke Riley, the assistant coach of the Stanford Women's Golf team, as she shares her experiences in the world of women’s amateur golf.

Listen in as Brooke talks about her unexpected start in the world of golf, sparked by a gift from her grandfather, and her transition from pro athlete to collegiate coach.

She delves into the Stanford team's meticulous preparation for the NCAA championship and the impact her high school coach's unwavering confidence had on her–a quality she now strives to instill in her own players.

Brooke reflects on the Augusta National, sharing her grandfather's legacy and how a chance encounter with a caddy sharing his name deepened her connection to the game.

We also discuss the ins-and-outs of amateur golf (and how it differs from professional golf), how golf manifests as a part of your identity as a woman, and the often-overlooked role of nutrition and well-being in a golfer's performance.

Today I’m sitting down with esteemed golf coach Josh Nichols to talk about the importance of finding balance in the golf world.
Josh, with his rich competitive background and notable runner-up finish at the 2017 US Mid-Amateur, opens up about the unexpected turns in tournament play and the psychological preparation needed to handle curveballs.
Balancing the demands of family life with his passion for golf, he shares how he's adjusted his approach to the sport, redefined success, and continues to find joy in the game even when time on the course is limited.
We also discuss the value of structured practice and being fully present during training, as well as how to take full advantage of coaching to achieve peak performance. We then give our thoughts on managing fear, anxiety, and identity as a golfer. Finally, we talk about the importance of maintaining healthy relationships both on and off the course, and confront the fear of embarrassment that so often holds athletes back from maximizing their potential.

I’m sitting down with the co-hosts of the Chasing Scratch podcast, Mike Shade and Eli Strait, to talk about it all from the hurdles of tournament play, to golf fashion faux pas, to finding podcast success.
Listen in as Mike and Eli peel back the curtain on the creative process behind their hit show. They reveal how their long-standing friendship has become the bedrock of the podcast, with their daily conversations naturally evolving into engaging long-form material.
Their unique blend of humor and pop culture references keeps listeners hooked, while they also address the challenges of juggling the love for golf with family and work life. It's a fascinating peek into the duo’s commitment to delivering content that strikes the perfect balance between being entertaining, heartfelt, and actionable.
We reflect on the mindset that it takes to go the distance in golf, as well as the journey to Ireland that connected us with an incredible community of fellow lovers of the sport. We talk personal anecdotes that resonate with anyone who's faced the mental blocks that come with competition.
