Playing a Top 100 Event as an Average Golfer
Tuesday, 28 April, 2026
📝 Show NotesWhat does it actually feel like for an everyday golfer to play in a Top 100 event?In this episode, I take you inside my mindset ahead of playing on the NCG Top 100 Tour - not from the perspective of performance, but from the perspective of experience.Why? Because these are exactly the kind of days that used to make me enjoy golf less… not more.🧠 What we cover:Why high-pressure or “big” golf days can feel harder to enjoyThe hidden mental patterns that show up before you even hit your first shotHow comparison, expectation, and over-preparation can shape your roundWhy playing well doesn’t always mean feeling good🔑 The shiftInstead of focusing on score or performance, I’m approaching this round differently: Can I actually enjoy it?✅ The 2 simple habits I’m using:Pause before every shot - A breath, a reset, and a moment to arrive in the presentNo immediate judgement after each shot - Good or bad - notice it, and move onSimple, repeatable, and something you can actually use when it matters most.🔬 This episode is an experimentI don’t know how this is going to go.I might play well. I might not. I’ll probably get frustrated at times.But that’s kind of the point.This isn’t about perfection, it’s about seeing whether I can experience golf differently.🔁 This is part of a mini-seriesIn the next episode, I’ll reflect on what actually happened at Royal North Devon - honestly, and in full.So make sure you’re subscribed to the podcast!👉🏻 Check out the full NCG Top 100s Tour Schedule (use discount code GYH10 at checkout for 10% off your booking)💬 Join the Community (Free)If this episode resonated with you, come and join Happy Hackers — my free WhatsApp community for everyday golfers who want to enjoy the game more.No pressure.
