Episode Notes

In this episode of Golf Beneath the Surface, Chase and Raymond unpack how the way we think about our thoughts can either create freedom or create pressure. They explore why self-talk is more than just “positive vs. negative,” how players unknowingly shrink their margin for error, and why that leads to anxiety, rigidity, and unstable confidence.

Raymond breaks down the difference between A-shaped and V-shaped thoughts—one style creating constriction and fear, the other creating space, resilience, and a more stable kind of confidence. This is a powerful episode for golfers, parents, and coaches who want to better understand pressure, self-talk, and how to perform with more freedom.
