    229 A MATTER OF BALANCE WITH GUEST GEORGE KERSHAW
    Aug 20 2026
    https://www.siegergolf.com/online-courses Welcome back to The Golfing Podcast. In this episode, we’re exploring a fascinating connection between two sports that, on the surface, couldn’t seem more different: golf and surfing. My guest is George Kershaw, and together we dive into the similarities between riding a wave and navigating a golf course—from reading conditions and finding rhythm to managing pressure and embracing the unpredictable. We discuss how the mindset, movement and freedom found in surfing can translate to golf, and why both sports demand patience, feel and a willingness to adapt. It’s a fascinating conversation about two very different games. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    228. IS THIS THE FUTURE OF GOLF IN 2046?
    Aug 6 2026
    https://www.siegergolf.com/online-courses The majors are over, the trophies have been lifted, and the dust has settled on another extraordinary season. But the biggest question in golf is no longer who won — it’s what comes next. In this episode, we look beyond the scorecards and ask how professional golf could change over the next twenty years. Has the disruption caused by LIV Golf permanently altered the landscape, or has it simply accelerated a transformation that was already coming? We explore five bold predictions for the future of the game, from the growing dominance of the majors and shorter, faster formats to AI coaching, urban golf and environmentally driven course design. Then we go even further, imagining five possibilities that sound radical today but may become reality tomorrow: 12-hole championship courses, city golf leagues, wilderness golf, mixed-reality competition and a completely new global structure for professional golf. If you love the game and wonder where it’s heading, this episode is for you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    227. SUPERSTITIONS, RITUALS AND THE NEXT POSSIBLE MUST HAVE FOR GOLFERS
    Jul 30 2026
    https://www.siegergolf.com/ Golf has always been a game of fine margins. A single thought, a fleeting doubt, or a familiar routine can sometimes seem to make all the difference. So why do so many golfers cling to lucky balls, insist on the same pre-shot ritual, or refuse to change a winning routine? Are these harmless habits, comforting rituals, or genuine performance enhancers? In this edition of The Golfing Mind, we explore the fascinating psychology behind the superstitions and routines that have become part of golfing folklore—from the world's greatest players to weekend golfers convinced they've found the secret to better scores. And later, I'll be joined by a guest with an intriguing idea that could offer a fresh perspective on the way we experience the game.

    225. THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP 2026 PREVIEW
    Jul 9 2026
    https://www.siegergolf.com/online-courses There is something wonderfully different about Open Championship week. The manicured perfection of modern tournament golf gives way to the raw beauty of links golf, where the wind is an opponent, the bunkers are unforgiving, and every bounce seems to have a mind of its own. This year, the game's oldest and most prestigious championship returns to Royal Birkdale, one of the finest and fairest tests on the Open rota. But make no mistake—fair doesn't mean easy. Birkdale rewards courage, imagination and patience in equal measure. In this episode, we'll explore what makes this iconic course such a formidable examination, look back at some of its unforgettable moments, assess the leading contenders, uncover a few dark horses, and consider the sentimental stories that could unfold. We'll also examine the conditions likely to shape the championship, highlight the players whose games are perfectly suited to links golf, and, of course, make our predictions for who will be walking up the 18th fairway on Sunday holding the Claret Jug.

    224. THE NEW CHAMPIONS. WHAT MAKES TODAYS BEST GOLFERS DIFFERENT
    Jul 2 2026
    https://www.siegergolf.com/offers/BaAEYBog/checkout What really separates today's golfing champions from the legends of the past? Is it technology? Better coaching? Superior equipment? Or is the answer far more powerful than that? This week on The Golfing Mind, we're diving into the mindset of the modern champion and exploring why today's best players seem better equipped than ever to handle the relentless pressure of elite golf. They're stronger, fitter, and more athletic, but it's what's happening between their ears that fascinates me most. They make smarter decisions, recover faster from mistakes, refuse to panic when momentum shifts, and have an extraordinary ability to stay locked into the present moment—one shot, one target, one challenge at a time. We'll examine how physical conditioning, emotional resilience, disciplined routines, and world-class decision-making have transformed the game, and why these qualities are now every bit as important as a beautiful golf swing. Most importantly, you'll discover practical lessons that every club golfer can apply immediately. Because while you may never hit the ball like the world's best, you can certainly learn to think like them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    https://www.siegergolf.com/offers/BaAEYBog/checkout This Week on The Golfing Mind – U.S. Open 2026 Preview at Shinnecock Hills. In this week’s episode of The Golfing Mind, we dive deep into one of the most anticipated events in golf — the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills. Rather than simply picking winners, this episode explores what makes Shinnecock one of the most demanding championship venues in the world and why the U.S. Open remains golf’s ultimate mental and strategic examination. Host Robin Sieger breaks down the unique character of Shinnecock Hills: the exposed links-style layout, firm fairways, small sloping greens, and the ever-present Atlantic winds that can turn a good round into a survival test. From a golf psychology perspective, Robin explains why patience, emotional control, and smart decision-making are often more important than raw power at this championship. The episode also highlights 10 players worth watching next week, Robin discusses the specific qualities that could help them contend at Shinnecock. Finally, he reveals his three most likely winners for the championship and poses five key questions that could decide who lifts the trophy on Sunday evening. If you love major championship golf, course strategy, and the mental side of the game, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    222. WHAT A CLUB PROFESSIONAL AT A MAJOR CAN TEACH US.
    May 28 2026
    This week on The Golfing Mind, we’re taking a different look at the PGA Championship — not through the eyes of the superstars, but through the remarkable stories of the twenty club professionals who qualify to play alongside the very best golfers in the world. These are men who spend most of their days giving lessons, running competitions, helping struggling golfers, and working long hours at their local clubs. Yet once a year, they walk onto the first tee of a major championship beside players like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm. And perhaps the biggest surprise is this — many of them possess mental qualities ordinary golfers desperately need:perspective, resilience, emotional control, patience, and freedom from perfectionism. So today, we’ll explore powerful lessons club professionals can teach us about pressure, performance, and why quieter minds often produce better golf. https://www.siegergolf.com/online-courses Learn more about your ad choices.
