Today, I'm sitting down with Dr. Raymond Prior, author of "Golf Beneath the Surface: The New Science of Golf Psychology", with the aim of understanding the mechanics of our mind and how emotions can transform our approach to the game and our performance on the course. Through the breakdown of six myths around performance on the golf course, we deconstruct the common misinterpretations surrounding growth, stress, anxiety, and nerves, and discuss the role of mindfulness, willpower, and survival instincts in our decision-making process.   Connect with Our Guest:  Dr. Raymond Prior Golf Beneath the Surface   Don't forget about the T-Time Swag Giveaway!
