Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: Golf is a Math Game: Like poker, golf is about making the highest percentage decisions over time—not playing emotionally or aggressively.Expect the Inevitable: Bad shots will happen. If you expect them, you’ll react logically instead of emotionally.Avoiding Bogeys > Chasing Birdies: The best players focus on limiting mistakes rather than hunting for low-percentage birdie opportunities.Commit Fully to Every Shot: If you don’t fully commit to a target, you’re adding unnecessary variance to your game.Shape Your Driver One Way: Stop trying to hit both draws and fades off the tee—own one consistent shot shape.Lag Putting is Underrated: The biggest scoring leaks come from poor lag putting. Improve from 20-40 feet to eliminate unnecessary three-putts.Stay Emotionally Detached: The best golfers remain logical under pressure and don’t let emotions dictate decisions. Key Quotes: "Golf and poker aren’t just similar—they’re identical." "Every decision you make is a math-based decision, whether you realize it or not." "If you expect bad shots, you won’t react emotionally when they happen." "Trying to force birdies will only lead to higher scores." "Your opponent in golf is the course, and it plays perfect game theory every time." "Winning is more fun than fun is fun—play smarter, not riskier." "The key to golf is not being great—it’s making fewer mistakes than everyone else."

  • #65: Breaking Through Your Mental Ceiling: The Golf Thermostat Effect
    Mar 6 2025
    You will only rise to the level of success, money, and happiness you believe you deserve. That belief dictates how you perform under pressure, how much success you can experience, and whether you self-sabotage when you’re outside your comfort zone. In this episode of The Scratch Golfer’s Mindset Podcast, I dive deep into the power of beliefs, explaining how your internal thermostat—your self-worth—regulates your success in golf and life. If you’re stuck in a cycle of playing below your potential, struggling to maintain progress, or find yourself folding under tournament pressure, it’s likely because of deep-seated limiting beliefs that need to be rewired. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why your beliefs set your limits for successHow to assess where your internal thermostat is setWhen, how, and why your beliefs are formedThe four categories of beliefs you possess and how you can find their originAction steps you can take today to unlearn the limiting beliefs holding you back Get your pencils ready and start listening. 1-1 High-Performance Hypnotherapy and Mindset Coaching: If you’re serious about getting out of your own way and playing to your potential, click here to schedule a Mindset Coaching Discovery Call to learn how I can help you make playing to your potential a habit.

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: Your Beliefs Set Your Limits: You won’t outperform the level of success you subconsciously believe you deserve.The Upper Limit Problem: Achieving more success than you’re used to triggers self-sabotage to bring you back to your comfort zone.Your Psychological Thermostat: Just like a home’s temperature control, your subconscious keeps your success within a familiar range.Self-Sabotage Shows Up in Your Game: Blowing a lead, missing easy putts under pressure, or tightening up on the back nine are signs of belief-driven resistance.Your Beliefs Are Learned, Not Fixed: Most of your core beliefs about success, failure, and self-worth were formed before age seven.You Can Rewire Your Beliefs: With awareness and deliberate work, you can upgrade your belief system to match your goals.Hypnotherapy is a Powerful Tool: By accessing the subconscious, you can rapidly rewrite limiting beliefs and accelerate growth. Key Quotes: “You will only rise to the level of success you believe you are worthy of.”“Self-sabotage isn’t random—it’s your subconscious keeping you in your comfort zone.”“If you don’t truly believe you can break 80, you’ll always find a way to stay stuck.”“Your beliefs aren’t your own—they were shaped by your environment long before you had a choice.”“The subconscious mind craves predictability, even if it means repeating destructive patterns.”“The moment you achieve success beyond your belief system, your thermostat kicks in to cool you down.”“You can rewire your mind to support your goals, but first, you have to recognize the patterns keeping you stuck.” Time Stamps: 00:00: The Power of Beliefs07:03: Understanding the Upper Limit Problem13:51: Beliefs and Their Origins20:53: Unlearning Limiting Beliefs26:06: The Path to Transformation
