Summary

Mental Coach Carey Mumford, creator of the Clear Key System, spends nearly an hour in this entertaining and provocative episode that was originally published privately as a Members Only episode. This was my last conversation with Carey before he passed in 2013. Over the years, we’ve had many requests to hear more from Carey as all of his content, and his book, have basically disappeared after he died. Because of the Mental Game content we’ve focused on the last few episodes, I thought this was the perfect time to share this episode on Golf Smarter instead of Golf Smarter Mulligans This episode is brought to you by PXG Golf Clubs.

0:00.0	I will tell you my definition of mental toughness. If you know what it is you need to do and you know how to do it and you have practiced it to the point where it's now a habit, it is absolutely nothing that can knock you out of the saddle. But nobody's doing that, you see, so they have to pump mental toughness as a concept. Literally, I saw on YouTube a professor who teaches sports psychology at Austin P. State University
0:28.8	explained mental toughness. He took a pop can and crushed it with his hand.
0:35.6	Then he took one that was full.
0:38.3	That one was empty and showed that you can't crush that one so easily.
0:42.3	He says, so mental toughness is having a fullness.
0:49.3	And your reaction to that was...
0:52.3	Silence, just what we had right there.
0:55.4	What in the world does that mean?

1:36.4	just on me, but on so many of you who have shared how much you've learned,
1:41.4	I'm going to bring back an episode from February 2011 that was a
1:45.9	member's only episode and has never been released to our general golf smarter audience before.
1:52.1	It was actually going to be a Mulligan's episode in a couple of weeks, but this conversation is
1:57.2	so entertaining and also kind of follows our thread of clearing your mind from swing
2:03.0	mechanics during the swing. I felt like the timing was right to make it a golf smarter
