    #89: Why Good Enough is Holding You Back in Golf and Life
    Aug 21 2025
    In this solo episode of The Scratch Golfer’s Mindset Podcast, I dive deep into the theme of “good enough” and how it quietly sabotages your golf game, your business, and your life. While there are moments where good enough truly is enough, most of us fall into the trap of settling—choosing comfort over growth, validation over progress, and cruise control over chasing our true potential. Through personal stories, practical examples, and lessons from both golf and life, I share how to break free from the “good enough” plateau and move toward being outstanding and even elite. In this podcast, you’ll learn: Why settling for “good enough” creates hidden frustration and incongruencyHow to recognize when you’re coasting and mistaking a plateau for a peakThe critical difference between being outstanding and staying outstandingWhy fear of success, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism are tied to “good enough”How to strategically choose where to accept “good enough” and where to go all in If you’re tired of settling, ready to raise your standards, and committed to stepping into the version of yourself you know you’re capable of becoming—on the course and in life—then this is the episode you need to hear.

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: Good enough is comfortable—but comfort kills growth. Settling in golf, work, or relationships keeps you stuck in mediocrity.Raising your standards is the only way forward. What once worked won’t take you to the next level.Outstanding requires imbalance. You can’t be elite in every area—decide what matters most and accept good enough elsewhere.Fear of success fuels settling. Many golfers and professionals subconsciously hold back to avoid standing out, judgment, or failure.Honesty creates congruency. Be brutally honest with yourself and with others about where you want to be outstanding and where good enough is truly enough. Key Quotes: “Good enough is comfortable, but it’s also where dreams go to die.”“If you want what the 5% have, you must be willing to do what the 95% are not.”“Outstanding requires imbalance—you can’t be elite in everything, and that’s okay.”“Scared is normal. Stuck is optional. Action is the antidote.”“You can’t talk the talk of outstanding while walking the walk of average.” Time Stamps: 00:00: Introduction to the Scratch Golfer's Mindset01:41: The Concept of 'Good Enough' in Golf and Life09:36: Raising Standards for Success14:00: The Comfort of Good Enough vs. Potential20:13: Honesty and Incongruency in Personal Growth25:58: The Balance of Being Outstanding vs. Good Enough34:15: Conclusion and Call to Action

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: Meditation isn’t about no thoughts—it’s about catching thought loops before they spiral.Mindset training is learning why you don’t do what you know you should; mental game is learning what and how to think.Grinding before a tournament depletes your mental energy—less is more leading up to Q School.Tiger’s real edge wasn’t just skill—it was discipline, presence, and treating every shot the same.Routine > Novelty: Eat the same lunch, wear the same shirt—save mental energy for where it matters.Every shot must be attacked like your target is the flag—own your discipline and trust the process.Teaching or caddying for others sharpens your own mindset and awareness faster than anything else.Winning isn’t about score—it’s about growing through process and discipline. Key Quotes: I thought meditation was about having no thoughts—turns out it’s about recognizing your thoughts before they own you.If you abandon your strategy because of your score… you’ve quit. You didn’t walk off the course, but you quit.Your work should be done before you get to Q School. If you’re not playing great, get your mental energy right.Meditation is like losing 100 pounds without seeing progress for a year—pointless until it suddenly clicks.The best thing I ever did for my game was caddy for Will ZalatorisYou don’t need more talent. You need more patience, more trust, and more discipline.No NEW-trition on game day. Don’t change a damn thing when it’s time to perform.

    #87: [Inside the Mind] Lauren McMillin: Golf Yoga Misconceptions and Benefits and Going Barefoot to Play Better Golf If you're the golfer who groans at the thought of stretching or scoffs at the word "yoga," this episode is especially for you. Joining me today is Lauren McMillin—founder of YoGolf Performance and a certified yoga instructor who specializes in helping golfers move better, feel better, and, yes, play better. In this episode, Lauren dismantles the common excuses and outdated beliefs that have kept so many of us (especially men) from incorporating yoga into our golf performance routines. We explore how yoga goes far beyond flexibility. You'll learn how it improves spinal rotation (hello, more shoulder turn and distance), strengthens your connection to the ground (read: more power and balance), and trains your nervous system to respond rather than react—all of which translate directly to better performance on the course and faster recovery off of it. In today’s episode, you’ll learn: Why most golfers resist yoga—and why that’s costing you distance, consistency, and recoveryThe most common myths and misconceptions about yoga (spoiler: you don’t need to be flexible!)How yoga improves your swing, focus, and mental resilienceWhat “movement modality” really means—and why yoga is the ultimate one for golfSimple, golf-specific breathing and movement techniques you can start using todayHow barefoot balance work can actually help you hit longer, straighter shotsA quick pre- and post-round routine to boost performance and prevent injuryThe surprising sleep benefits of yoga—and how they help your gameHow to build a consistent yoga routine without a studio or 60-minute commitment Get your pencils ready and start listening. P.S. Curious to learn more about the results my clients are experiencing and what they say about working with me? Read more here. More About Lauren Lauren McMillin, yoga and movement specialist, is the founder of YoGolf Performance, golf’s online yoga studio. For nearly a decade, she has worked with yoga practitioners and golfers of all levels, using yoga, Pilates, and functional movement to help them move and feel their best.
