The Masters is probably the most keenly awaited Major of the year, the spectacle, the drama, the final nine holes. No Major in the world compares when it comes to speculation and seeing the very best in the world go head-to-head. In this week's podcast, Robin and Mike reflect on the tournament and make their predictions as to who they think will be putting on the green jacket come Sunday.  It is worth noting that last year, the golfing my podcasts predicted three of the four winners. Can we...

https://www.siegergolf.com/offers/BaAEYBog/checkout Mental toughness is considered a prerequisite to being a successful, high-achieving winner. For many, it is the holy grail of skills, the missing X factor that separates them from greatness. But what do we mean by mental toughness? In business, mental toughness and resilience have become new buzzwords, as though they are tools we must have. In today's podcast, Robin will explore the factors we can control that will enable us to improve our...

https://www.siegergolf.com/offers/BaAEYBog/checkout How often have we had a player referred to as the best player never to have won a Major? It is a classic example of being damaged by faint praise. There are so many stunningly talented golfers in the past and even presently who everyone believes will win a major until it appears they never did. Why did this happen? Is it simply a matter of fate and destiny, or perhaps is it possible there is just a little more to the equation that defined...

Is mental toughness and the will to win something you are born with, or is it a quality you can develop? This question has long puzzled sports psychologists, and in this week's podcast, Robin talks with golf enthusiasts and past partners in quite a number of tense and dramatic matches, Tom Needham. Tom turns the tables on Robin and gets his thoughts on confidence, competitiveness, and the mental side of matchplay. Tom agreed to appear on the podcast so he would have the opportunity to set...

https://www.siegergolf.com/preland-pageI It's that time of year again. When we look at our golf bag and think, "Maybe it's time for a change,"  I don't mean that we think we need to get a new golf bag. Oh no, we need a new top-of-the-range set - to hell with the expensive, shiny,  totally excellent-brand set of make-my-friends jealous new clubs.   We may need to review our current clubs and upgrade or even potentially downgrade them, but the most important thing is that the decision is made...

https://www.siegergolf.com/preland-page How often has someone suggested to you there is a secret move in the game of golf, a technique, a grip, a secret move or a mechanical device that will unburden you from the pain and suffering that regularly descends upon you whilst on the golf course? It has become, for many keen golfers, their holy grail. To discover that one elusive thing that will transform them from a long-suffering average golfer to a much-envied great player. You only have to...

https://www.siegergolf.com/offers/BaAEYBog/checkout Sometimes, it is good to remember that the simple basics are often the best and rarely the most obvious. In this podcast, Robin explores the very simple philosophy of a Zen monk who brought the whole concept of the art of mindfulness to Western culture. While presenting at a recent conference in Portugal, Robin discovered one of his quotations in an old computer file, and it served him so well that he realised, at many levels, it is the...

https://www.siegergolf.com/offers/BaAEYBog/checkout The mental game of golf is not simply about being born with some genetic predisposition to being tough under pressure.  (If only that were true!!) Which in reality is not the case.  Rather, it is about the ability to use the mind as a tool to work for you and not against you. Nowhere is this better demonstrated by understanding the difference between mental strength and mental attitude. Mental strength is like a muscle you have to develop...

In this week's podcast, I am delighted to have as my guest Brian Harman the Open Champion 2023 at Royal Liverpool Golf Club. His five-shot victory was a masterclass in strategy and execution. He was kind enough to give us an hour of his time in one of his rare weeks off the golf course. Where he shared his OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP  memories and thought processes as he gave the golf fans a a thrilling final two rounds. He talks about his experience playing in his first  Ryder Cup.  As well as other...

https://www.siegergolf.com/offers/BaAEYBog/checkout he idea of that perhaps there is one golden ancient secret 'must do' lesson, that will enable you to become a better putter must be for many of the Holy Grail of golf instruction with the flat stick.  My interest in putting for the last 20 years has always been much more about the mental process rather than mechanical technique. In my book Silent Mind Putting, I looked at the greatest putters and what they had in common, I will let you...

https://www.siegergolf.com/offers/BaAEYBog/checkout Other than simply their ability to play much better golf than we do, there are many many things professionals do that we simply don't. One might argue because golf is their profession and the way they make their money they would naturally do more, and this is true. However, the key things which enable them to perform at the highest level are simple things that we too are able to engage with - if we so choose I am fairly confident an...

https://www.siegergolf.com/buy-now Putting is an area of golf or I believe the average golfer can see the greatest improvement in their scoring if they are to apply one or two simple mental tips. Naturally, there is no substitute for actual practice however the importance of attitude and belief is linked to confidence and positivity.  There is an extraordinary desire to hit the ball as hard as we can and the primitive pleasure of doing so can (I admit) be hard to beat, however, tournaments...

https://www.siegergolf.com/offers/BaAEYBog/checkout In sport, as in business, there is a huge premium put upon leadership. There are legendary leaders whose behaviours have been studied and analysed in the hope of revealing secrets. In golf, there are very few team events as such, and we know from the past how critical a role a Captain plays in bringing it all together. For the average golfer every match requires the player are able to manage themselves (be self-led),   perform at their...

https://www.siegergolf.com/buy-now One of the greatest stumbling blocks to success on the golf course is the inability of golfers to manage pressure. Much of this pressure is self-inflicted but not having a strategy to manage it only compounds the problem. No one is immune from pressure though the better players have learned to use it as opposed to being overwhelmed by it. In this podcast, Robin discusses three immediate strategies any player can employ to reduce the level of influence the...

https://www.siegergolf.com/buy-now In this week's podcast we reflect upon the Ryder Cup in Italy. As always playing the role of armchair quarterback after the event it's a lot easier than making predictions before the event. In fact, in our Ryder Cup preview podcast we picked Europe to win by one point. Robin and Neil discussed in some detail their thoughts and reflections on this year's Ryder Cup in particular and the event in general. It is always a finely balanced affair even though the...

https://www.siegergolf.com/buy-now 100 years ago nobody had a mental game coach they didn't exist. Very few professional players even had a swing coach most were self-taught or asked their colleagues for tips or suggestions. You only have to look at the variety of swings in years gone by to see a lot of people were self-taught. With a mental game, the whole notion of a mental game coach has become a recent development. In today's podcast, Robin looks at the history of the mental game and...

https://www.siegergolf.com/buy-now Are people born mentally tough, and it happens to be their good fortune or is it a skill or mindset that we can grow like a muscle? In this podcast, Robin, regular co-host Mike Kershaw and guest Matt Barr discuss this with interesting observations and suggestions that will help all players.

What do golf fans want? In the modern arena of professional golf, fans care little for the prize money, they are more enthralled by the drama and the rivalries.

https://www.siegergolf.com/buy-now In a few weeks, the tremendous gladiatorial competition that is the Ryder Cup begins again. There are very few sporting events with the anticipation, drama, heartbreak, epic heroics and excitement of the Ryder Cup. After Europe's bruising defeat to the Americans two years ago, can Europe turn it around when the cup is back in Italy, where the Ryder Cup is being played for the first time? Who will be the captain's picks? This question, without doubt, keeps...
