In this episode, Josh Nichols (@joshlukenichols) of The Mental Golf Show talks about his journey in golf. Josh’s dad introduced him to golf at a young age and Josh eventually secured a spot at Appalachian State. After college, he stayed amateur but eventually wanted to become professional. Despite missing cuts and almost making it to the U.S. Open, Josh remained focused on the process and continued to work hard. He made it to the finals of the U.S. Mid-Am and finished runner-up. After some time, he decided to focus on helping other golfers with Foundations Mental Performance (https://www.foundationsmp.com/).
