T-Time with Tori Totlis Tori Totlis

Today, Justin Klemballa and I discuss the importance of smart decision-making on the course, showing that: while drills and strategy make a huge difference, a strong mental game often trumps technique in shaving strokes off your score.
Ever found yourself floundering in a fairway bunker? Justin spills the secrets to training the often-neglected bunker shot even if you lack access to a venue that allows you to practice them effectively.
We talk about turning recreational rounds into practice sessions, and why aiming for bogey might just be your ticket to a lower scorecard. Justin gives his thoughts on greenside bunker play and breaks down a simple yet effective bunker drill to improve your game before you even set foot on the course.
As the overseeding period comes to an end and anticipation for the winter season mounts, it’s important to ensure you’ve sharpened your game. I give an inside look into my own practice schedule and talk about the need for a well-thought-out plan and a balance between swing, short game, and putting practice.

Listen in as Sierra discusses how a passion project led not only to the empowerment of millennial women golfers all over Phoenix, but also to the rekindling of old friendships and the making of new, lasting ones.

About Sierra Sanchez:

Kim Eaton and I are sitting down with 2018 USGA Women's MidAm Champion Shannon Johnson. She’s here to talk about her path to her MidAm win and how she’s preparing for the upcoming USGA Four-Ball Championship.
Listen in as we exchange playful Masters week predictions and Shannon reflects on those early moments, from her collegiate days to the influence of iconic figures in the sport on her golf journey.
We talk about the emotional roller coaster that is tournament play–about the tenacity it takes to come back from a deficit, the joy of a winning streak, and the sting of a close loss. With anecdotes that highlight the importance of mental resilience and camaraderie within the golf community, we shine a light on the pressures and triumphs that define the sport.
Finally, we talk about match-play victories and the celebrations that follow. We delve into the focus we need to muster when strategizing crucial shots, and why it’s important to temper our expectations during competitions.

Today I’m sitting down with content creator Jon Sherman as we explore the intersection of golf, social media, and mental resilience.
 
Listen in as Jon and I discuss the importance of setting boundaries on social platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and how the digital world impacts not just our own lives but those of future generations. We share our thoughts on the Masters tournament, where we witnessed mental fortitude in action from the likes of Ludvig Åberg and Collin Morikawa.
We delve into the emotional rollercoaster of competitive golf and how mindset alone can make or break your game. We talk about the highs and lows of tournament play, from winning medals to battling self-doubt, and the impact of living up to expectations in the spotlight. I open up about my own experiences on the course, revealing how vulnerability and personal growth play a crucial role in not just sports but life itself. Our dialogue shines a light on the idea that sometimes, stepping into the arena is a victory in its own right.
Lastly, we talk about creating rich and authentic content that resonates with everyday golfers, highlighting Jon's relatable insights that speak to players at every level. I express gratitude for the growing voice of women in the sport and the community's support that makes creating and sharing these stories so rewarding

I’m sitting down with Alix and Christie who look back on their very first Masters experience at The Augusta National, covering everything from navigating the event’s strict no-phone policy to its luxurious invite-only dining experience, to their treasure hunt for collectible gnomes at the Pro Shop!
 
From the get-go, it's clear that the Masters is as much a social event as it is a sporting one.
 
We discuss the trend towards shorter skirts as opposed to traditional, longer lengths as comfort takes center stage when it comes to fashion choices on the green. In a similar vein, we acknowledge the “elevated, classy” attire everyone wore that gives the Masters its exclusive flavor.
 
 
We also talk getting starstruck by the endless sea of great golfers around us, and the shopping spree that had us questioning if we were at a golf tournament or the world's most exclusive outdoor mall!
