Year-End Q&A: Confidence, Ego, and Trust in Golf

In this episode of the Golf Beneath the Surface podcast, Raymond Prior and Chase Cooper reflect on the past year and the topics that resonated most with listeners.

They break down confidence in golf, why it’s often tied to outcomes, how trying too hard creates anxiety, and the common mistakes players at every level make with practice, ego, and trust. The conversation touches on unmeasurable skills, adaptability under pressure, hypnosis as a tool for regulating anxiety, and the subtle mental habits that separate consistent players from streaky ones.
