About this episode

Jared Tendler discusses the underlying causes of mental game issues in golf and offers practical advice for improvement.

Jared Tendler is our guest this week on Those Weekend Golf Guys. Jared Tendler’s message was blunt and refreshing: golfers don’t have “mental game problems”—they have underlying causes they don’t understand. Fix the cause, not the symptoms. Jared offered practical advice that fits perfectly with your show’s vibe: Define your goals before every shot. Not “hit it straight”—something actionable like “start it left of the bunker with a committed finish.” Notice emotional patterns. Don’t judge them—just track them. Stop pretending range success equals course success. Build pressure into practice. Put the phone away. Even casual golfers lose more focus than they realize. **Use a consistent pre-shot routine to anchor attention
