We break down the concept of “fast vs. slow thinking” and explain how most players use these mental systems in the wrong order, leading to poor decisions and unnecessary mistakes. You’ll hear real on-course examples of how emotional, instinctive decisions can derail a round, and why better players rely on more deliberate thinking before the shot. We also discuss the dangers of overthinking during execution and how it can lead to paralysis over the ball. The goal is to help you recognize your own patterns and make smarter decisions that lead to lower scores. Thank you to our show sponsors LMNT, Rhoback, and Ethos: Staying properly hydrated is critical for performance, and electrolyte imbalances can lead to fatigue, cramps, and brain fog—exactly what you don’t want on the golf course. That’s why we recommend LMNT, a zero-sugar electrolyte drink trusted by athletes and everyday golfers alike. They now offer a convenient 12 oz sparkling version with great flavors like pineapple, lemonade, and black cherry—perfect to grab before a round or workout. Sweet Spot listeners can get a free sample pack with any purchase at drinklmnt.com/sweetspot. • Rhoback makes some of the best golf apparel we’ve worn. Their polos are incredibly comfortable with moisture-wicking fabric, plenty of stretch, and a crisp collar that works on and off the course. They're got a couple of new releases for spring - the Highlands Hoodie—lightweight with great mobility for golf—and the Brookline Vest, a perfect layering piece for cooler tee times.
