Back to EpisodesWhy Your Worst Rounds Might Build Your Best Golf | Jon Sherman Part 2
Description
“Your future best golf is probably being built inside your worst rounds.”
In Part 2 with Jon Sherman from the 🎧 The Sweet Spot Podcast and author of The Four Foundations of Golf, we dive deep into the psychology of golf improvement.
Jon explains why golfers give up too early during rounds, how resilience is built on your worst days, and why “getting your hands dirty” might be the key to shooting lower scores.
We also discuss:
- how Jon works with PGA Tour winner Mackenzie Hughes
- handling pressure and expectations on the golf course
- why golf is “an infinite game”
- mental game mistakes amateur golfers make
- simple stat tracking that actually helps
- why chasing lower handicaps doesn’t always lead to happiness
- process vs results in golf improvement
If you’ve ever struggled mentally during a bad round, lost confidence on the course, or wondered how better players stay composed under pressure — this episode is for you.
Featuring:
Jon Sherman — author of The Four Foundations of Golf, co-host of The Sweet Spot podcast, and coach to PGA Tour players including Mackenzie Hughes.
