    Why Chasing Perfection Is Ruining Your Golf (And How Elite Players Practice Instead)

    Perfection is killing your golf, and most players don't even realize it. In this episode of the Flow Golf Podcast, we're joined by elite coach John Dunigan to break down why chasing perfect swings, perfect practice, and certainty under pressure is the fastest way to underperform. We dive deep into: ✅ Why most range practice doesn't transfer to the course ✅ How elite players actually acquire skill ✅ The danger of perfectionism and certainty in competition ✅ Why mistakes are essential for learning ✅ How to practice so your game holds up under pressure If you've ever felt like you stripe it on the range but lose it on the course, this conversation will change how you think about practice, pressure, and performance. This isn't about swing positions. It's about building a game that actually shows up when it matters.  Listen now and rethink how you train your game. 👉 Subscribe for weekly conversations on performance, mindset, and the mental game. 🧠 Download the FlowCode app and start training the mental game today. 👉 Click here: https://bit.ly/flowcode-podcast Or search "FlowCode: Coaching App" in your app store. 📲 Follow us on Instagram @FlowCodeGolf http://bit.ly/49iSzy2 for weekly mental game tools and new episodes.

    Me And My Golf: Flow, Focus & The One Skill Golfers Ignore

    Most golfers think improvement just comes from better swing mechanics. Andy Proudman and Piers Ward from Me And My Golf disagree, and in this episode, they explain why focus, flow, and attention matter more than most golfers realize. Recorded a couple of years ago, this conversation captures the foundation of what elite coaches understand about performance. The skill most golfers ignore isn’t confidence, positivity, or even preparation. It’s the ability to intentionally control attention under pressure, knowing what to focus on, when to focus, and what to ignore when it matters most. In this episode, we cover: ✅ Why most golfers never access their best performance ✅ The difference between preparation and presence ✅ How elite players use questions to control attention ✅ Why more swing tips often make golfers worse, not better ✅ How Me And My Golf coach players to play better, not just swing better ✅ The role of flow, focus, and physiology in real performance ✅ Why improvement is easier than golfers make it If you want to stop overthinking, stop chasing swing fixes, and start performing closer to your potential, this episode will change how you see improvement. 🧠 Download the FlowCode app and start training the mental game today. 👉 Click here: https://bit.ly/flowcode-podcast Or search "FlowCode: Coaching App" in your app store. 📲 Follow us on Instagram @FlowCodeGolf http://bit.ly/49iSzy2 for weekly mental game tools and new episodes.

    Why Most Golfers Choke Under Pressure (And the Missing “Mental Clubs” They Never Train)

    Most golfers spend hours on the range and in the gym, but completely ignore the one area that determines how they perform under pressure: their mental game. In this episode of the Flow Golf Podcast, we introduce a powerful analogy that explains why golfers choke, spiral, and lose confidence when it matters most. Think about your physical golf bag. You wouldn't step onto the course with only a putter and expect to shoot a great score. Yet that's exactly what most golfers do mentally. You'll learn: ✅ Why golfers feel calm and confident in some moments, and anxious and tense in others ✅ What it actually means to have a "mental golf bag" ✅ Why most golfers' mental bags are completely empty ✅ How to start building mental tools you can rely on under pressure ✅ A simple breathwork exercise you can train daily to lower heart rate, release tension, and improve tempo This episode isn't about positive thinking or motivation. It's about training mental skills the same way you train your swing, with repetition, structure, and intention. If you want to stop the bogey train, handle pressure better, and play closer to your potential, this episode is mandatory listening. 🧠 Download the FlowCode app and start training the mental game today. 👉 Click here: https://bit.ly/flowcode-podcast Or search "FlowCode: Coaching App" in your app store. 📲 Follow us on Instagram @FlowCodeGolf http://bit.ly/49iSzy2 for weekly mental game tools and new episodes.

    Why Your Range Swing Disappears on the Course (The Performance Loop Explained)

    Ever flush it on the range... then step onto the first tee and everything falls apart?  It's not a swing issue, your state changed.  In this episode, Hallam Morgan breaks down FlowCode's foundational framework: The Performance Loop.  A simple, powerful model that explains how focus → thoughts → emotions → state → swing → outcome repeats on every shot, and how you can train the mental side like a real skill.  You'll learn:  ✅ Why the "range-to-course" drop-off happens (heart rate, grip pressure, tempo)  ✅ How your thoughts create emotions (not the situation itself)  ✅ How to shift focus to what you want  ✅ Why mental skills need reps, not inspiration (the "biceps" analogy)  🧠 Download the FlowCode app and start training the mental game today. 👉 Click here: https://bit.ly/flowcode-podcast Or search "FlowCode: Coaching App" in your app store. 📲 Follow us on Instagram @FlowCodeGolf http://bit.ly/49iSzy2 for weekly mental game tools and new episodes.

    The Fundamentals of the Mental Game: How to Train Focus, Calm & Flow on Every Shot

    Most golfers say the mental game is important. Very few actually train it. In this episode, Dr. Rick Sessinghaus breaks down the true fundamentals of the mental game, starting with the one skill everything else depends on: focus. You’ll learn why peak performance (flow) isn’t random, how your pre-shot routine should actually work, and the exact tools elite players use to get calm, confident, and committed on demand. This episode isn’t about positive thinking. It’s about training your state, the same way you train your swing. What You’ll Learn: ✅ Why flow always follows focus ✅ The biggest mistake golfers make with pre-shot routines ✅ How to use breath, visualization, and self-talk correctly ✅ The 5 flow triggers that pull you into the present moment ✅ How to train focus off the course so it shows up under pressure If you want your best swing to show up when it matters, this is where the mental game actually starts. 🧠 Download the FlowCode app and start training the mental game today. 👉 Click here: https://bit.ly/flowcode-podcast Or search "FlowCode: Coaching App" in your app store. 📲 Follow us on Instagram @FlowCodeGolf http://bit.ly/49iSzy2 for weekly mental game tools and new episodes.

    Finding Your Code for Flow (Control Your State + Play Better Golf Under Pressure)

    Ever flush it on the range... then feel it disappear on the 1st tee? That's not your swing breaking in five minutes, it's your state shifting (mental, emotional, physical). In this episode of the Flow Golf Podcast, you'll learn how to control your state on demand so you can access flow more consistently, and build your personal code for flow. We break down the four ways to shift state (sensory, cognitive, environment, social), why "just take a deep breath" is incomplete advice, and how to start stacking techniques so your reset works when pressure hits. What You'll Learn ✅ Why performance changes even when your swing doesn't ✅ The 4 levers to shift state: sensory, cognitive, environment, social ✅ How to reset after a bad hole and get back to the present moment   ✅ How to stack breath + senses + focus cues for a stronger reset   ✅ The 7 Flow Mindsets (gratitude, creator, observer, awe, growth, playful, transpersonal) 📲 Download the FlowCode app and start training the mental game today. 👉 Click here: https://bit.ly/flowcode-podcast Or search "FlowCode: Coaching App" in your app store.
