I am frequently asked which book on the mental game of golf I consider my favourite. Having read as many titles as I have been able to find over the past 20 years, I can only answer by announcing my favourite book. I have long thought that if a title is considered the best, then there would be more or less universal agreement. The reality is that some books resonate with us more than others. The book that had the biggest impact on me will be discussed in this podcast. In addition, I will be t...

If you tell a golfer to get fit, they immediately and rightly assume you're talking about their physical and cardiovascular strength, stamina and flexibility. All of these are naturally important, but so is getting fit put the right clubs and indeed a good fit for the right teacher.This week, I interview European PGA professional golfer Stewart Fraser, whom I met by chance when I went for a club fitting at Stainton Golf Centre in Yorkshire, England. It was by some margin the best club fitting...

I thought this week it would be worthwhile to share some interesting facts about myself, specifically as it relates to golf. Every golfer has experiences on and off the golf course, which influence and, to a degree, shape the way they develop as golfers in terms of outlook, attitude, and ability. Therefore, I have highlighted about ten or so anecdotes from the past to the present day that have profoundly influenced me and led to the development of the books I have written. Equally, some ...
Recently, my golf clubs were removed (stolen) from my car, and I imagine I only have myself to blame as, for some reason, best known to the universe at large, I appear to have not locked the doors.This unfortunate event - led me to look at my options to get new golf clubs. It is always a fun thing to do, but perhaps we invest too much time and trust in advertising blurb, technological promises and sales staff enthusiasm. It was a most enlightening experience for more reasons than you ma...
https://www.siegergolf.com/preland-pageFollowing this year's US Masters Championship, a clear player has established beyond any doubt they are justifiably the No. 1 player in the world. Winning three of the last four events in which they have played and runner-up in the fourth, we have not seen this level of dominance since Tiger in his glory year in 2000.What can we learn from Scottie Scheffler's approach and obvious mental mastery? We also look at the chasing pack of Morikawa, Homa and Aber...

In this week's podcast, Robin and Mike reflect on the tournament and make their predictions as to who they think will be putting on the green jacket come Sunday.

https://www.siegergolf.com/offers/BaAEYBog/checkoutMental toughness is considered a prerequisite to being a successful, high-achieving winner. For many, it is the holy grail of skills, the missing X factor that separates them from greatness.But what do we mean by mental toughness? In business, mental toughness and resilience have become new buzzwords, as though they are tools we must have. In today's podcast, Robin will explore the factors we can control that will enable us to improve our men...
https://www.siegergolf.com/offers/BaAEYBog/checkoutHow often have we had a player referred to as the best player never to have won a Major? It is a classic example of being damaged by faint praise. There are so many stunningly talented golfers in the past and even presently who everyone believes will win a major until it appears they never did. Why did this happen? Is it simply a matter of fate and destiny, or perhaps is it possible there is just a little more to the equation that defined the...

Tom turns the tables on Robin and gets his thoughts on confidence, competitiveness, and the mental side of matchplay.Tom agreed to appear on the podcast so he would have the opportunity to set the ...
https://www.siegergolf.com/preland-pageIIt's that time of year again. When we look at our golf bag and think, "Maybe it's time for a change," I don't mean that we think we need to get a new golf bag. Oh no, we need a new top-of-the-range set - to hell with the expensive, shiny, totally excellent-brand set of make-my-friends jealous new clubs. We may need to review our current clubs and upgrade or even potentially downgrade them, but the most important thing is that the decisi...
https://www.siegergolf.com/preland-pageHow often has someone suggested to you there is a secret move in the game of golf, a technique, a grip, a secret move or a mechanical device that will unburden you from the pain and suffering that regularly descends upon you whilst on the golf course?It has become, for many keen golfers, their holy grail. To discover that one elusive thing that will transform them from a long-suffering average golfer to a much-envied great player. You only have to read e...
https://www.siegergolf.com/offers/BaAEYBog/checkoutSometimes, it is good to remember that the simple basics are often the best and rarely the most obvious. In this podcast, Robin explores the very simple philosophy of a Zen monk who brought the whole concept of the art of mindfulness to Western culture. While presenting at a recent conference in Portugal, Robin discovered one of his quotations in an old computer file, and it served him so well that he realised, at many levels, it is the ultim...

https://www.siegergolf.com/offers/BaAEYBog/checkoutThe mental game of golf is not simply about being born with some genetic predisposition to being tough under pressure. (If only that were true!!) Which in reality is not the case. Rather, it is about the ability to use the mind as a tool to work for you and not against you. Nowhere is this better demonstrated by understanding the difference between mental strength and mental attitude. Mental strength is like a muscle you have to de...
