    200. THE TOUGHEST EVENT IN GOLF
    Aug 14 2025
    https://www.siegergolf.com/online-courses This week, we delve into Tommy Fleetwood's latest heartbreaker at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Despite holding a five-shot lead midway and a two-stroke advantage with five holes remaining, Fleetwood faltered late, finishing tied for third. This marks his 46th top-10 finish without a PGA Tour win, a record dating back to 1983 . What can he do to fix this scenario, Robin discusses. Yet, there's a silver lining: Fleetwood has secured his spot on Team Europe for the upcoming Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, joining Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy . As we preview the September showdown, we assess Europe's prospects of clinching a rare away victory and examine the dynamics within Team USA under player-captain Keegan Bradley.

    199. WHAT MAKES SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER TICK?
    Jul 31 2025
    Welcome back to The Golfing Mind, the podcast that explores the inner game of golf—where performance begins between the ears, not just between the fairways. This week, we're diving deep into the mindset of the man who’s dominating the game like few others have in recent years—Scottie Scheffler. Calm, consistent, and quietly competitive, Scheffler isn’t just winning tournaments—he’s redefining what mental toughness on the golf course looks like. So what makes him tick? What’s going on behind that steady demeanour and unshakeable rhythm? In this episode, I’ll unpack the psychological traits, routines, and mental habits that set Scheffler apart—and more importantly, I’ll share how you can apply some of those same mental tools to improve your own game, whether you're playing in a Major Championship or simply trying to beat your friends. Let’s get into it—because if golf is a game of inches, most of them are in your head. https://www.siegergolf.com/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    197. WHY EXACTLY DO YOU PLAY GOLF ANYWAY?
    Jul 3 2025
    https://www.siegergolf.com/ Welcome to this week’s episode of The Golfing Mind, titled “Why Exactly Do You Play Golf Anyway?” Today, we’re diving deep into the heart and soul of what drives us to pick up those clubs time and time again. Is it pure enjoyment—the simple thrill of watching that ball soar, the fresh breeze on the course, and that satisfying click of a perfect swing? Absolutely. But golf is so much richer than that. For many of us, golf gives purpose: a challenge to master ourselves, a journey toward personal growth with every swing and every round. Each shot is a mini-mission, each hole a quest. It’s this pursuit of improvement—against the course, conditions, and even our own tendencies—that gives golf its powerful sense of purpose. And let’s not forget the spirit of competitiveness. Some of us thrive on healthy rivalries: with our buddies on weekends, with ourselves in our best score, or even against a course that refuses to yield an easy round. That element of competition sharpens our minds and fuels that exhilarating love-hate relationship with par. Finally, it’s all about fun. The laughter on the green, the stories shared on the 19th hole, the camaraderie that builds over bogeys and birdies alike—it’s these light-hearted moments that turn a golf outing into a cherished memory. Join me as we explore how enjoyment, purpose, competitiveness, and pure fun blend together to answer the ultimate question: why do we play golf anyway? Learn more about your ad choices.
