Summary

In this episode, Jon opens up about a recent tournament where he lost his temper on the course for the first time in years and what it revealed about perfectionism, ego, and expectation management in golf. He and Adam break down why anger shows up for golfers of every level, from the feeling of helplessness to tying our self-worth to our scores. The conversation explores how to recognize when frustration crosses the line into self-sabotage, and how philosophy and rational thinking can help you regain control. Whether you’re slamming clubs or silently boiling inside, this episode will help you understand the roots of golf anger and how to use it to play (and live) better. Thank you to our show sponsors The Indoor Golf Shop, LMNT, and Ethos Life Insurance As we enter the fall season, many golfers will be looking to upgrade their indoor practice. I've been trusting The Indoor Golf Shop for years and recommending them to anyone who wants to improve their home setup. They offer all the top launch monitor brands, including SkyTrak, Uneekor, and Foresight, and regularly run sales. They also have everything you need for your indoor practice - hitting mats, golf nets, impact screens, and custom enclosures. If you're looking for a custom residential build to have the simulator of your dreams, their team can make that happen. They built mine! And their designers can also handle any kind of commercial facility where you're building from scratch or want to make an upgrade.
