    About this Episode

    In this special episode we have a lengthy chat with Dr John Mathers, a sports psychologist and lecturer at the University Of Stirling. He has also lectured at the University of Glasgow and the University of Edinburgh.  John has worked with people from a large variety of sports including football, rugby, tennis, snooker, boxing and also golf.  John is a very good golfer himself (his handicap is plus 2!) and joins us to talk about his career and to give us an insight into how he helps sports people and golfers get the most from their talent.  We talk about fear of failure, the yips and more..

    With Donald McKay & Stewart Whiteford

    S6 Ep4 - Should Niemann be at Augusta?

    WARNING.. There was a LOT of drivel talked in this episode (even more than normal).  It seems that we talk more about money and the business of golf these days than actual golf!!  This week we have a 59 on one tour and a 60 on another. We talk about the increasing strength of the LIV field (especially the top half) and ask who would win a LIV/PGA Tour Ryder Cup.
