    In this episode of the LA Golf Channel Podcast, I’m joined by Kris, also known as The Golfing Medic, a scratch golfer, content creator and paediatric doctor working at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. This conversation goes much deeper than just handicap talk. Kris shares how he got back into golf after an eight-year break, how he reached a 0.0 handicap, and how the pressure of working in medicine has shaped the way he manages emotions on the golf course. We talk about the mental side of golf, course management, playing under pressure, first tee nerves, scratch competitions, Open Qualifying, team golf, handicap events, and why chasing birdies can sometimes lead to bogeys and doubles. Kris also gives a brilliant insight into how better players think their way around a golf course, including when to attack pins, when to play safe, how to prepare for big competitions, and why the best golfers are often the ones who make the smartest decisions rather than the flashiest ones.
