Why You Don’t Need Confidence to Play Great Golf
Wednesday, 15 April, 2026
✨ Episode SummaryWhat if playing better golf had less to do with fixing your mindset… and more to do with how you respond to what shows up?In this episode of Golf Yourself Happy, I’m joined by PGA professional and mental performance coach Trevor Jones to explore a different way of approaching the mental game — one that doesn’t rely on trying to feel confident or getting rid of nerves before you play well.We dig into Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT), the model that sits at the heart of the HAPPY framework, and unpack why so many golfers get stuck trying to manage their thoughts and emotions… instead of learning how to play alongside them.This is a conversation about performance, yes — but more importantly, it’s about your experience of the game and how you want to show up on the course.🎯 What You’ll LearnWhy trying to “fix” your mindset can actually hold you backThe truth about confidence (and why you don’t need it to play well)What mental toughness really looks like on the golf courseHow avoidance shows up in golf (often without you realising)A different way to respond to pressure, nerves, and doubtHow ACT can help you build a healthier, more sustainable relationship with the game🧠 Key TakeawayYou don’t need the perfect mindset to play good golf.You just need to learn how to play with whatever shows up.👥 About TrevorTrevor Jones is a PGA professional and mental performance coach who works with golfers across all levels of the game.
