One Round Away

Ethan prepared more than almost anyone in his charity golf event. Extra lessons. Hours on the range. And it made everything worse. Because his problem was never his swing. It was competition anxiety. And nobody had ever given him a system for it.  Today Bo and Shannon fix that.  Here's what you'll hear:  — How anxiety is actually born in your prefrontal cortex, and why golf is the most a...

What do you do when a back injury takes you off the course for four months? If you're Jack Forstine, you do mental reps every single day -- and come back hitting 300-yard drives and shooting one under. Last fall, Jack was averaging 42-45 on nine holes, losing his love for the game, and seriously considering walking away. When his back gave out, it looked like the end. Instead, it became the t...

 Most golfers show up to the first tee in yellow light — rushed, cold, and mentally scattered — before they have hit a single shot. Then they wonder why the first three holes always feel like waking up mid-round.  Today Bo and Shannon fix that permanently.  This is the episode that bookends the entire One Round Away system. Every tool taught across twelve episodes works better when you arrive at t...

Last week you learned why words are costing you strokes. Today you get the weapon. In Part 2 Bo and Shannon deliver everything promised from Part 1, and then go even further with brand-new science that was not in the book. Here is what you will hear in this episode: — Why you cannot control negative thoughts, but you can stop pulling the trigger on them, and exactly how the T-chart gives you the t...

What do you say to yourself when you miss a short putt you know you should have made? When you snap hook a driver out of bounds on a hole you always drive well? When you are trying to protect a lead and you make a double bogey? If you are honest, the answer is not pretty. And here is what most golfers have never been told. Those words are not just affecting your confidence. They are affecting your...

Two weeks after winning his second Masters, Bubba Watson called Ted Scott with his number blocked. When Ted picked up, Bubba said four words that changed the way Ted sees this entire game.  What's the point.  Here is a man standing at the absolute top of what golf can offer, saying it out loud. And Ted Scott who has helped his golfers win four Masters victories, second most of all time at Aug...

You hit the ball better than ever. Your swing feels good. You are putting in the work. And yet you are still shooting the same scores you always shoot. That is not a skill problem. That is your internal thermostat...the setting your brain established based on what it believes is normal for you. And until you change what your brain believes about who you are, that thermostat will keep pulling you b...

You are playing the best round of your life. Front nine 38. Your playing partner says this could be the day you finally break 80. You smile. You feel it. Then you snap hook your drive out of bounds. Triple bogey. Round gone.  That is a yellow light moment that went to red without a protocol. Today Bo and Shannon give you the protocol.  In Episode 7 they gave you the signal lights. Today they deliv...

 You've felt it before. Standing over a shot and knowing before you swung that it wasn't going to be good. And you've felt the opposite. Walking up to a ball with complete quiet in your mind, total commitment, and you just knew.  Those aren't random experiences. Those are two completely different brain states. The ability to recognize which one you're in and do something a...

John Norvell was stuck in the mid-to-high eighties. He'd tried YouTube, training aids, everything most golfers try. Nothing moved the needle. He was frustrated enough to stop keeping score. Then he stopped training his swing and started training the six inches between his ears. In month one — with almost zero physical practice due to graduate school — he averaged 80, including a 73. Month two...

You've got the trigger. You've got the breathing. You've got the mental imagery. But there's still one thing missing...the piece that turns all of it from helpful into automatic. That's what Episode 4 is all about. CPR — Consistent Passionate Reaction is the most frequently asked question Bo and Shannon get from everyone who goes through the system. And there's a reas...

A note from Bo and Shannon: This episode goes to some deeply personal places for us including our faith. We're men who follow Christ, and we don't separate that from how we approach performance, pressure, or the game of golf. If you share that faith, we think this episode is going to hit differently. If you don't — we believe these principles stand on their own, backed by the same s...

What if the biggest thing holding your golf game back… isn’t your swing?

What if your best golf wasn't years away? What if you were just one round away? This is the official trailer for the One Round Away Podcast — the show for golfers who are tired of inconsistency, tired of overthinking, and tired of knowing they have more in them but not knowing how to bring it out when it matters most.
