Flow Golf Podcast with Rick Sessinghaus & Hallam Morgan

Most golfers spend hours on the range and in the gym, but completely ignore the one area that determines how they perform under pressure: their mental game.In this episode of the Flow Golf Podcast, we introduce a powerful analogy that explains why golfers choke, spiral, and lose confidence when it matters most.Think about your physical golf bag. You wouldn't step onto the course with only a putter and expect to shoot a great score.Yet that's exactly what most golfers do mentally.You'll learn:✅ Why golfers feel calm and confident in some moments, and anxious and tense in others✅ What it actually means to have a "mental golf bag"✅ Why most golfers' mental bags are completely empty✅ How to start building mental tools you can rely on under pressure✅ A simple breathwork exercise you can train daily to lower heart rate, release tension, and improve tempoThis episode isn't about positive thinking or motivation.It's about training mental skills the same way you train your swing, with repetition, structure, and intention.If you want to stop the bogey train, handle pressure better, and play closer to your potential, this episode is mandatory listening.🧠 Download the FlowCode app and start training the mental game today.👉 Click here: https://bit.ly/flowcode-podcastOr search "FlowCode: Coaching App" in your app store.📲 Follow us on Instagram @FlowCodeGolf http://bit.ly/49iSzy2 for weekly mental game tools and new episodes.

Ever flush it on the range... then step onto the first tee and everything falls apart? It's not a swing issue, your state changed. In this episode, Hallam Morgan breaks down FlowCode's foundational framework: The Performance Loop. A simple, powerful model that explains how focus → thoughts → emotions → state → swing → outcome repeats on every shot, and how you can train the mental side like a real skill. You'll learn: ✅ Why the "range-to-course" drop-off happens (heart rate, grip pressure, tempo) ✅ How your thoughts create emotions (not the situation itself) ✅ How to shift focus to what you want ✅ Why mental skills need reps, not inspiration (the "biceps" analogy) 🧠 Download the FlowCode app and start training the mentalgame today.👉 Click here: https://bit.ly/flowcode-podcastOr search "FlowCode: Coaching App" in your app store.📲 Follow us on Instagram @FlowCodeGolf http://bit.ly/49iSzy2 for weekly mental game tools and new episodes.
