What if the way you think on the golf course isn't just a golf problem?

The patterns you practice in everyday life often come with you to the course. Perfectionism. People pleasing. Overthinking. Catastrophizing. The need for control. Fear of failure. Self-criticism. Even the tendency to take care of everyone else while forgetting about yourself.

In this episode of Think Above Par, Kathy explores how these familiar patterns can show up in your golf game—and how the golf course can become a powerful place to recognize them and practice responding differently.

You'll learn why a bad shot can trigger the same mental habits you experience off the course, how even useful traits can sometimes work against you, and why the goal isn't necessarily to change who you are. It's to become aware of your patterns and ask:

Is this pattern helping me here?

Because golf doesn't just reveal your swing. It reveals your patterns. And once you can see a pattern, you have an opportunity to practice a different response—on the course and off.
