The Par Train - Helping Frustrated Golfers #EnjoyTheRide

Evan is tremendous. Extremely open and vulnerable – really helps you connect the theory to the application to your golf game. Must listen.

You the man Ev! Listening to your pod has helped me start to enjoy golf again and not put so much pressure on myself. When I find myself getting in a funk I try to remind myself how much of a pleasure it is to get to play golf and it snaps me out of it and allows me to focus on enjoying the sport I love!

I can’t say enough great things about this podcast. Ev and Cerm make it such a fun and easy listen and - unlike any other golf podcast - they make the show about the listener. Each episode gets me more and more excited about my next round and elevating my game to the lowest handicap possible. Highly recommend!

So, today I broke par for the first time. I’ve had a few chances and I choked a couple of them away in pretty miserable fashion. Today was different. I was 2 under headed to 16 and hit a couple bad shots and then 3 putted from 25 feet for a double bogey 5. I could feel my body deflate for a second. But today something changed. I embraced the challenge. I made it fun for myself. I treated it like 3rd and 9 or having the ball down 2 with 20 seconds left in basketball. Hit 2 great shots and birdied 17. I laced a 4 iron to about 145 out on 18 and then felt my body get tight. Despite my best efforts to calm down I flared a pw into the sand right of the green. Instead of dwelling, I stuffed the long bunker shot to 3-4 feet. I lined up the ball, stood over it and it didn’t feel right. I backed off, fixed my line and pumped it in. I say all that to say this… Your pod is helping a lot of ppl play this silly game better. Instead of falling back on the same ol stuff, I embraced the nerves. I didn’t dwell. I didn’t pout when a putt lipped out. I didn’t fight the nerves. And I really don’t think I’d have done that without a little help from the pod. So, if you’re ever second guessing the pod or the message or the impact, just wanna remind you that you’re helping a lot of us.
