Stepping onto the green, every golfer knows the swing is just the beginning. This episode, we're joined by Peter O'Keefe, who shares the revelations from his golf and wellness retreat in Portugal, where the fusion of movement workshops and expert coaching is more than just a game-changer—it's a lifestyle revolution. As I reflect on my own aspirations to conquer more amateur titles and inspire the next generation at my home club, we peel back the layers of fitness and mindset, crucial elements that often decide whether we triumph or falter when the stakes are high. Navigating personal and professional life as a competitive athlete is no easy feat, a reality Peter O'Keefe knows all too well. In our heartfelt conversation, he unveils the reasons behind stepping away from team golf, prioritizing family over fervor. Meanwhile, I'm candid about the upcoming tournaments that still set my heart racing, sharing the strategic thought process behind each entry. There's a particular exhilaration linked to Q-School that I can't seem to shake and, quite frankly, I'm not sure I want to. Where the rubber meets the road—or should I say, where the club meets the ball—is in the details of our strategy and mental preparation. In this episode, I lay out the reasons practice rounds may be overrated for some, emphasizing the power of visualization and a robust pre-shot routine. We also dig into the quirkiness of club selection; my tenuous relationship with the three-wood might just lead to a shake-up in my bag. And let's not overlook the magic of a well-loved putter—it's not just a club; it's a trusted companion on the journey to golfing greatness.
