About this listen

 What separates winners on Sunday isn’t perfection—it’s resilience, disciplined routines, and the will to find a way. In this conversation, CBS analyst, coach, and author Mark Immelman shares what he’s learned from a front-row seat on Tour: why Scottie Scheffler’s process never wavers, how Rory’s Masters breakthrough rewrote a narrative, and why clutch putting—and perspective—decide tournaments. We also dig into fitness as the gateway to mental toughness, “the chaser’s freedom vs. the leader’s burden,” and how to keep swinging freely when everything tightens up. In this episode, you’ll learn: How elite players use routines to stay present under maximum pressureWhy resilience = get up, then don’t panic or overhaul your processThe difference between playing to win vs. playing not to loseWhy clutch putting is the common denominator coming homeHow fitness amplifies stamina, confidence, and decision qualityThe power of perspective: results don’t define identityPractical ways to manage expectations and let your putter be the star Get your pencils ready and start listening.

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: Resilience has two parts: get up after setbacks and resist the urge to “fix everything” when you do.Routine is armor: Scheffler’s unwavering pre-shot/process is a blueprint for stability when the heat rises.Win with the putter: Final-nine scorelines (33–35) come from one-putting key moments—par saves matter as much as birdies.Chaser’s freedom vs. leader’s burden: If you’re chasing, be boldly smart; if you’re leading, avoid prevent-defense golf.Fitness fuels mindset: Strength before endless stretching—capacity under heat/pressure comes from being strong and conditioned.Perspective frees you: Care about doing the right thing, not about outcomes—play “with house money” more often.Self-awareness wins: Know your real-time yardages, conditions, and “today’s shot”—choose the smart side of flags. Key Quotes: “You never fall to world number one—you outlast everyone else.”“Winners find a way. It isn’t pretty; it’s often a war of attrition.”“Let your putter be the superstar.”“Resilience isn’t changing everything after a bad shot—it’s sticking to what works.”“The chaser has freedom; the leader carries the burden.”“Get strong, then get mobile—most golfers aren’t tight; they’re not strong enough.”“Care about doing the right thing, not the result—play free and the scores follow.” Time Stamps: 00:00: Introduction and Overview of the Golf Season02:43: Key Players and Their Impressive Performances05:27: The Importance of Fitness in Golf08:03: Resilience in Golf: The Key to Success10:57: JJ Spaun's Career Transformation14:03: Tommy Fleetwood's Journey and Challenges15:27: The Nature of Winning and Losing in Golf17:22: The Role of Self-Belief in Achieving Success19:34: The Dynamics of Competition in Golf21:55: The Mental Game: Awareness and Strategy24:36: The Importance of Team and Communication25:48: The Future of Golf: Emerging Talents and Rivalries
