T-Time with Tori Totlis Tori Totlis

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.

Kim Eaton and I are sitting down with Shelly Stouffer, the 2022 US Women's Senior Amateur. I barrage Kim and Shelly with a slew of questions on all things golf, including their best tips and strategies to prepare for golf tournaments, drawing on our experiences on tough courses such as Royal and Mylora.
 
 
Listen in as we discuss how mindset can determine your spot on the leaderboard, the value of TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) training, and the differences between different systems of scorekeeping. We also talk club selection and the importance of camaraderie out on the course.
 
 
We give our thoughts on resetting after a rough start to a round, and how pre-shot routines can keep you in the zone even amidst the chatter of fellow players. We also touch on what to keep in mind when playing with a spouse, and how to find the right balance between casual rounds and tournament play to give you the best long-term edge in your golf journey!

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.

Today, Justin Klemballa and I discuss the importance of smart decision-making on the course, showing that: while drills and strategy make a huge difference, a strong mental game often trumps technique in shaving strokes off your score.
Ever found yourself floundering in a fairway bunker? Justin spills the secrets to training the often-neglected bunker shot even if you lack access to a venue that allows you to practice them effectively.
We talk about turning recreational rounds into practice sessions, and why aiming for bogey might just be your ticket to a lower scorecard. Justin gives his thoughts on greenside bunker play and breaks down a simple yet effective bunker drill to improve your game before you even set foot on the course.
As the overseeding period comes to an end and anticipation for the winter season mounts, it’s important to ensure you’ve sharpened your game. I give an inside look into my own practice schedule and talk about the need for a well-thought-out plan and a balance between swing, short game, and putting practice.
