    https://www.siegergolf.com/offers/BaAEYBog/checkout Welcome back to The Golfing Mind, and as we head into a brand-new year, this episode is all about possibility. Golfers love the idea of a clean slate: a chance to reset, refocus, and finally make the improvements we’ve promised ourselves for far too long.

So today, we're exploring 10 powerful things you can do—practical things, mental things, strategic things—that will genuinely transform your game in the year ahead. Whether you’re fighting inconsistency, struggling with confidence, stuck in a plateau, or simply wanting to enjoy golf more, this episode will give you tools you can use immediately. And these aren’t vague resolutions. They are focused, actionable steps: improving your mindset, sharpening your practice, auditing your equipment, building routines, and reconnecting with why you play the game in the first place. So let’s look to the future with purpose, clarity, and confidence. Let’s make next year the year your golf becomes not only better, but more enjoyable, more resilient, and more rewarding.

    211. WHAT AWAITS US IN 2026?

    Welcome to this week’s episode of The Golfing Mind. As a new season unfolds, this episode is an opportunity to pause, lift our heads from the fairway in front of us, and take a considered look at what the year ahead may hold for the game we love. We reflect on the players, the competitions that matter most, from the major championships to team events and global tours, and ask what success will really demand in the months ahead. Beyond players and trophies, we turn our attention to broader trends: how the professional game continues to change, what technology and equipment developments may genuinely influence performance, and how modern formats and commercial forces are reshaping golf’s identity. As always on The Golfing Mind, this is not about prediction for its own sake. It is about perspective, reflection, and understanding the mental, emotional, and strategic currents that define excellence in golf. Settle in, and let’s look forward—thoughtfully—to 2026. ⁠https://www.siegergolf.com/store/R3DyDcbg⁠ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    https://www.siegergolf.com/ As another compelling season of golf draws to a close, The Golfing Mind takes a step back to reflect, evaluate, and look ahead. In this special one-hour End of the Year Review, we examine the professional game, the trends that shaped performances at the highest level, and the lessons serious golfers can take from them.

Looking forward to 2026, we explore emerging themes in preparation, mindset, technology, and competition, and discuss what both elite professionals and committed amateurs should be paying attention to over the coming year. Which players appear poised to take the next step? And how is the modern game continuing to challenge traditional thinking? Joining me is long-standing friend of the podcast Bob Ross, who brings his trademark clarity and insight to the discussion.

    209. GET INSPIRED AND ANDAMAZING ONE-TIME XMAS GIFT

    https://www.siegergolf.com/offers/BaAEYBog/checkout We all want to play better golf—lower the handicap, hit it longer and straighter, and stay rock-solid when the pressure turns up.

But be honest… how often has that truly transformed your game? The initial excitement fades, old habits creep back, and the breakthrough never quite arrives. Sometimes what we need isn’t new equipment—it’s inspiration. Something that refuels our motivation, sharpens our focus, and reminds us why we believe we can get better. In this week’s episode, I share some of the stories that have inspired me most over the years—plus a special offer exclusively for podcast listeners. Tune in, recharge your mindset, and rediscover what’s possible in your game. https://www.siegergolf.com/offers/BaAEYBog/checkout Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Welcome to The Golfing Mind, where we explore the mental game behind great golf. In today’s episode, The Extraordinary Power of Focus, we look at what separates the best players in the world from the rest — their ability to stay completely present, no matter what’s at stake.

Think of Tiger Woods on one leg at Torrey Pines, Jordan Spieth’s remarkable recovery at Royal Birkdale, or Collin Morikawa’s calm precision on the final tee at St George’s — each a masterclass in FOCUS under pressure. We’ll explore what science tells us about focus, how it shapes performance, and how you can strengthen it in your own game.
