Ep 194: Donal Scott
Description
This week on PaddyTalks Golf, proudly powered by ForeGolf Custom, I’m joined by performance coach Donal Scott for something I’ve never done on the pod before which is a full review of my own golf season.
Instead of just looking at scores and stats, Donal walks me through the same process he uses with players at every level: reflecting on performance, identifying blind spots, and separating what really matters from all the noise.
We dig into:
- 📊 Which stats actually tell the truth about your game
- 🧠 How to measure progress in your mental game
- 🏌️♂️ Why decision-making and course management cost more shots than you think
- 🔁 The difference between reviewing outcomes vs. reviewing your process
- 🎯 How to turn a season review into a focused plan for the off-season
Donal also shares a simple framework that any golfer can use to reflect on their year, whether you’re a scratch player chasing trophies or just trying to beat your mates at the weekend.
This conversation gave me plenty of home truths (😅) but also a clear plan to move forward. I think you’ll find loads here to apply to your own game.
