Send us a text What do golf and skiing have in common? At first glance, not much—one is a slow, deliberate game of precision, and the other is a fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled sport. But when you look deeper, both require mental strength, balance, rhythm, and a strong ability to stay in the present moment. In this episode of The Golfing Mind, we explore the surprising similarities between these two sports and how they can help us become mentally stronger athletes. We break down five key mental...

Send us a text Are you looking for an easier way to improve your mental golf game? You’re not alone. Most golfers dream of having a sharper, more resilient mental edge, but let’s be honest—few are willing to dedicate the time to mastering techniques like visualization, meditation, breathing, and stress management. But what if there was a simpler path? Join Robin in this eye-opening episode as he dives into what he believes is the most effective (and yes, even a bit lazy!) approach to enhancin...
Send us a text https://www.siegergolf.com/online-courses For many people who don't play golf, it may seem dull and boring. It's often viewed as just men in plaid pants chasing a little ball across a field. However, the additional benefits of playing golf for physical and mental health are often overlooked and misunderstood. In today's podcast, Robin explores 15 benefits golf offers if we are open to them. These advantages extend beyond the golf course, enriching our personal and profession...
Send us a text https://www.siegergolf.com/ Welcome to another episode of The Golfing Mind, where we explore the fascinating parallels between a great golf swing and great comedy. On the surface, these two might seem worlds apart, but dig a little deeper, and you’ll find striking similarities. Like a perfect swing, great comedy isn’t about deconstructing every moment — it’s about letting go, staying in the flow, and trusting your instincts. Like a well-delivered punchline, a great golf swing ...

Send us a text https://www.siegergolf.com/about My fourth book on the mental game of golf will be released later this year. This week, I am providing a preview of the book, with an overview of the content and what to expect. The power of three books has been detailed in Analysis and exercises for the student. This book is much less instructive and much more reflective in terms of thoughts and suggestions for you to understand and apply as you see fit. A Birkhall Media Production
Send us a text As in all areas of life, golf, in particular, is a sport where confidence plays a very important part. Not only in terms of having a positive self-image and sense of self, but also in how we are able to perform by holding on to healthy self-belief. In today's podcast, Robin explores the importance of confidence and what to do when we lose it, including a simple three-step method to help restore, in part, at least confidence on the course. Also, with the relaunch of https://www...
Send us a text Davies Love III perfectly summarised the truth when he said, "..a routine isn't a routine if you have to think about it". Every professional golfer on whichever tour they play knows that regardless of the shot, they will go through a pre-shot routine. The benefits are pretty well-known. For some, it is very mechanical; for others, it is a bit ritualistic; and for some, it looks like modern dance. But the one thing they all benefit from is that it settles them into a thought-fr...
Send us a text This year, we have seen two world-class players falter down the stretch and lose events due exclusively to missing clutch putts. It would be wonderful if there were a magic pill, a simple strategy to improve one's ability to perform when the pressure is at its highest. Sadly, life is not that simple. There is no one thing we need to do any more, and there is one Secret to success. What there are, I believe, principles we can apply. In today's short podcast, Robin addresses what...
Send us a text There is an old saying, "Practice makes perfect." If only that were true, but practice always results in improvement and gains. A game of golf is complex enough without introducing more practice protocols—allegedly to help us improve. Once the basic mechanics have been mastered, golf is a mental game. Yet, no one practices that mental gate because they do not believe it is possible; it can only be learned through real-world experience. We should practice many areas of t...

This year, the Open Championship goes to Troon in Scotland, which last hosted the event in 2016, which saw the great head-to-head duel between Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson. Scottish Links golf epitomises the open championship, with pot bunkers and penal rough and uneven surfaces both ...
Send us a text https://www.siegergolf.com/offers/BaAEYBog/checkout Over the last 40 years, I have had many interesting conversations with friends and others about golf. Some of the questions that arise are somewhat earnest and serious about the state of the game, but more often than not, they are random, frivolous, downright silly and then, of course, there are the perennial old favourites that you're asked regularly by other golfers. This week I thought it would be interesting and fun to sh...
