In this episode of Golf Party Live, we sit down with Dr. Andrea Hogan, also known as The Golfing Professor—a psychology professor, content creator, author, and passionate beginner golfer whose journey is as inspiring as it is relatable.

Andrea has only been playing golf for about one year, yet she's already experienced powerful breakthroughs that resonate deeply with beginner golfers. She brings a unique perspective by blending golf mindset, confidence, identity, and psychology, helping players better understand why golf can feel so challenging—especially between the ears.

In this episode, we cover:
*Andrea's personal golf journey and how she got started in the game
*Why golf is so mentally difficult, particularly for beginners
*The biggest mindset traps new golfers fall into (and how to avoid them)
*Practical mindset tips from a psychology professor's perspective
*What Andrea teaches and loves most about being a psychology professor
*The parallels between students learning psychology and golfers learning the game
*How she built the Golfing Professor brand
*Her experience creating content, launching a TikTok shop, and what surprised her most about combining social media + golf

This conversation is insightful, encouraging, and full of "aha" moments—perfect for anyone new to golf or anyone who's ever felt frustrated, stuck, or intimidated by the mental side of the game.

We had such a great time getting to know Andrea, and we know our listeners will connect with her story and benefit from her thoughtful, beginner-friendly advice.
