Description

In this episode, Josh Nichols (@joshlukenichols) of The Mental Golf Show talks about his journey in golf. Josh’s dad introduced him to golf at a young age and Josh eventually secured a spot at Appalachian State. After college, he stayed amateur but eventually wanted to become professional. Despite missing cuts and almost making it to the U.S. Open, Josh remained focused on the process and continued to work hard. He made it to the finals of the U.S. Mid-Am and finished runner-up. After some time, he decided to focus on helping other golfers with Foundations Mental Performance (https://www.foundationsmp.com/).Mental Golf Show: https://open.spotify.com/show/1RyN6bw9ZqLHTKNBG3TIJ4---Follow us:Twitter - @TournamentCodeInstagram - @thetournamentcodeYouTube - The Tournament CodeHosted by: Cooper Collins (@coopercollins99) and Daniel Hamrin (@DanielHamrin)---(02:36) - struggles with early tournament play(03:38) - lack of direction in golf(07:11) - playing golf at competitive level(12:19) - college golf struggles(14:36) - golf plateau and progression(18:21) - struggling after college golf(23:58) - intense golf training regimen(25:31) - practicing golf efficiently(29:02) - quality over quantity in practice(33:44) - focusing on the process(36:55) - psycho-stats for golf(40:08) - efficiently chopping down trees(45:29) - fun mental fundamental skills(48:39) - journaling for self-awareness(50:58) - the power of the brain
