The Mental Golf Show is all about helping serious golfers translate their game when it matters. Host Josh Nichols — a U.S. Mid-Amateur finalist and Golf Mental Coach — has spent years investigating one question: why do good players struggle to access their best game under real conditions? Through in-depth conversations with players, coaches, and performance experts — plus solo topical episodes breaking down what he’s learned — Josh investigates the gap between a golfer’s potential and what actually shows up on the course.
