200. THE TOUGHEST EVENT IN GOLF
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. Stay tuned as we explore the narratives shaping golf's most intense competition. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

199. WHAT MAKES SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER TICK?
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?
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.

192. HOW TO REIGNITE YOUR LOVE FOR GOLF
https://www.siegergolf.com/first-lesson-free-page Sadly, too often we fall out of love with golf. There are various reasons for this, which, if we are aware of them, perhaps we can avoid them taking hold and causing us to sentence our golf clubs to a lifetime of dust collection in the basement. Many professionals, upon retirement, never play golf again; it was their job, their place of work, and they retired from work to pursue other activities, which makes perfect sense. But for the regular amateur to give up a game they once loved is something that need not be permanent. In today's podcast, we explore the reasons people fall out of love with the game and offer several suggestions and strategies to rekindle that love affair. https://www.siegergolf.com/first-lesson-free-page Learn more about your ad choices.

188. BOUNCING BACK FROM SETBACKS
Welcome back to The Golfing Mind Today’s episode deals with something every golfer—at every level—has experienced: setbacks. Whether it’s a blow-up hole that derails a good round, a missed short putt when it mattered most, or a string of bad shots that seem to come out of nowhere, these moments can feel brutal. They stir up frustration, anger, disappointment, and even self-doubt. And if we’re honest, it’s not just the mistake that gets to us—it’s the emotional aftermath. The way it lingers, hijacks our focus, and sometimes unravels the rest of the round. But here’s the good news: bouncing back is a skill—one that can be learned, strengthened, and put into practice the moment things go wrong. In this episode, I’m going to share powerful, practical strategies you can implement immediately—on the course, in competition, or just on your weekend round. Tools that will help you reset, refocus, and regain control—mentally and emotionally—before the game slips away. Because setbacks are inevitable in golf. But staying stuck in them? That’s optional.

187. BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF
Welcome to The Golfing Mind—I'm Robin Sieger, and if you've listened before, you'll know that while I love golf, I'm fascinated by the mental side of the game—that part of us that swings the club long before we ever take it back. Today's episode might feel a little uncomfortable. It's titled "Be Honest With Yourself," not about swing mechanics, club choice, or course management. It's about something much deeper—the personal honesty required to improve as a golfer, truly. I've had the privilege of working with professionals and amateurs worldwide. I've watched top players battle nerves, frustration, and ego just like the rest of us. And one thing I've learned is this: progress in golf—real, lasting progress—starts with self-awareness. It starts with being willing to confront the truths we often avoid. This episode isn't about judgment—it's about reflection. It's about asking the right questions and listening to the answers, even when we don't like them. Because every golfer, whether a beginner or seasoned pro, reaches a point where honesty becomes the catalyst for improvement. So, stick with me if you want to break 90 or stop sabotaging your own game. Today, we're stripping back the stories we tell ourselves—and finding the truth that leads to better golf.

186. THE 2025 US (MCILROY) MASTERS REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
Welcome to The Golfing Mind, where we delve into the psychological aspects behind golf's most iconic moments. In this episode, we turn our attention with a forensic look into the 2025 Masters Tournament, where Rory McIlroy achieved his long-awaited career Grand Slam, overcoming immense pressure and mental hurdles. McIlroy's journey to donning the green jacket was marked by resilience and mental fortitude. After 16 previous attempts, he finally triumphed at Augusta, defeating Justin Rose in a dramatic playoff. His victory was not just a testament to his skill but also to his ability to confront and manage the psychological demands of the game. McIlroy employed a unique strategy to combat performance anxiety: visualising worst-case scenarios to prepare for any outcome mentally.​ Throughout the tournament, McIlroy maintained an intense focus, even choosing not to engage with his playing partner, Bryson DeChambeau, during the final round—a deliberate tactic advised by his sports psychologist, Bob Rotella, to stay immersed in his own game. This mental discipline allowed him to navigate the pressures of the course and the weight of expectations.​ Join us as we analyse the mental strategies that led to McIlroy's historic win and examine how other players in the field managed the psychological challenges of the Masters. www.siegergolf.com Learn more about your ad choices.

179. WHY DO SOME COUNTRIES PRODUCE SO MANY WORLD CLASS GOLFERS
Send us a text Welcome to this week's episode of The Golfing Mind, where we explore the intriguing question: why do some countries produce more world-class golfers than others? Today, we'll focus on the remarkable success of Scandinavian and American golfers and explore why the United Kingdom has produced fewer Major champions than one might expect. Scandinavian countries, particularly Sweden and Denmark, have made significant strides in the golfing world. Sweden, for instance, has developed a robust structure and organization for golf, with well-established club training programs and a focus on developing the whole person rather than just the golfer.  In contrast, the United States has a long-standing tradition of producing world-class golfers. The extensive golf infrastructure, with a vast number of courses, provides ample opportunities for individuals to engage with the sport from a young age. The robust collegiate golf system offers structured programs, allowing talented players to develop their skills while pursuing higher education. Additionally, significant financial incentives, such as substantial prize money on the PGA Tour, attract top talent and motivate domestic players to excel. Turning our attention to the United Kingdom, it's noteworthy that while golf has deep historical roots here, the number of Major champions is relatively modest.  Let's see if we can find out why? https://www.siegergolf.com/online-courses A Birkhall Media Production Learn more about your ad choices.
