Dear MPGA+ members, We will be hosting two Pop Up LIVE classes this week to discuss mental game challenges, tools, and answer questions you have on the training. I will be teaching you all a specific drill that I learned that I have taught my competitive athletes. Check the calendar tab (for the date, time, and special zoom link) Join us if and when you can.

The Mental Edge in Golf: Process vs. Outcome Sport psychologist Dr. Mat Park and former LPGA player Cydney Clanton introduced a Girls Golf webinar on building a stronger mental game through mental training. They explain key ground rules: 1. Mental training requires consistent practice like physical training. 2. Growth comes from getting uncomfortable. 3. Confidence is an action built through credible self-talk and body language (“motion creates emotion”). The session contrasts outcome vs. process mindset and teaches the FACE framework—Focus, Attitude, Commitment, Effort—along with a scorecard/journal to track and reflect on mental performance, often by choosing one element to emphasize each round. They address handling frustration after “easy” mistakes, discuss modeling confident behaviors, and cover first-tee jitters by reframing nervousness as excitement and managing energy by shifting mindset laterally rather than forcing calm.
