That's a wrap. 3 wins, a tie and loss. We didn't quite have enough to get the 🏆, but such a treat getting to represent Nova Scotia with some great teammates at the annual Atlantic Cup against NB, NFLD and PEI. Kudos to PEI for putting on a show!

Golf needs more matchplay events!

As the season slowly winds down, the final tally is 1 out of 3. No club champ, no invitational win, but I qualified for the Atlantic Cup.

​I’m going to be honest: I'm really happy to have qualified for the Atlantic Cup🏆 for the first time. But outside of that, I’m frustrated, I’m annoyed, and it stings.

​For the last two years, I did many things right. My clubhead speed, ball speed, accuracy, and stamina are all way up. I put a lot of work in during the off-season to get to this point. On paper, I hoped this would be the year.

​The reality?

​Club Champs: Shot an effortless 67 on Day 1 to be tied for the lead. On Day 2, I shot an 80.🫠

​Kenrick Cup: Shot a 75 in easy conditions. On Day 2, sitting 30th with nothing left to lose, I shot a bogey-free 67 in brutal winds to finish T4 (with only 4 fairways hit).😅

​This is a message I share with my athletes on a regular basis: high performance isn't linear, and hard work doesn't guarantee an immediate outcome—it simply increases the odds in your favour over time. But living it on the course ⛳this season was a humbling reminder that it’s always easier said than done. 🤷

​When things don't go according to plan, the real challenge is staying patient and taking pride in the effort itself. The discipline, the reps, and the foundation built this year didn't disappear just because I wasn't able to lift a trophy.

​Being able to stay patient is a skill in and of itself, especially when you're playing well enough to have high expectations.😌

Thank you Anne for always cheering me on 💜, Austin for listening and making sense of my venting about my swing, Melissa for encouraging me to hydrate more on the course and Chad for always encouraging me to continue working out!

Last weekend I competed in Golf Nova Scotia men's provincials Antigonish Golf Club and boy was it an experience. A great event and I loved every second of it, but definitely didn't meet the expectations I had set for myself. 😒

As a Certified Mental Performance Consultant with a Ph.D. in sport psychology, I teach the mental game day in and day out.

But I am also human. Knowing the science doesn’t make the bogeys and doubles hurt any less. 🤷

On the surface, it would be easy to look at my scorecard last weekend and say I choked down the stretch🤦. But outcomes are only part of the story.

In sport, we can never guarantee the final number. No matter what we do, nothing guarantees perfection—because it doesn’t exist.

The real performance metrics happen when we step back and look at the bigger picture. 🌏

Even though the results look like a dip, there was also growth that happened. Staying completely committed to your processes is a big piece of the puzzle—even if the numbers don't reflect it yet. 💪

Thank you to those who've been helping me with my game this year! Own Your Swing Golf Performance & Recovery Melissa Allen, RD Austin Fraser 🏌️🥪💪🦵

My challenge to you after your next round 🎯. Step back from the final result. Look at the bigger picture. Did you maintain your process commitment? If you stayed engaged and fought through the discomfort, that is a massive step forward—no matter what the scorecard says.

Happy Canada Day! This is my 7th year of living here and I'm still so grateful to call this wonderful country my home. Thank you to all that have made these last few years some of the most memorable years of my life. 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

Mental Health 🧠 week might be over, but that doesn't mean the conversation ends. Between social media and constant reminders 📳 about ways to optimize every aspect of our lives, it can feel overwhelming and leave us feeling drained. 😪

To break out of this cycle it's useful to set aside time to switch off and focus on you, the human 🚶🚶‍♀️, not the athlete 🎽. Do something that brings you joy and leave your phone at home. Giving your mind space to exhale 😮‍💨is just as important as training.

I've played golf with thousands of people--from pros , to DI athletes, to weekend warriors. 🏌️‍♀️

If you asked me who my favourite playing partners were, I couldn't tell you what most of them shot 📝. I can, however, tell you exactly how they made me feel.

As we head back outdoors, the "simulator trap" is real. We expect perfection because we haven't dealt with wind, with rough, or bad bounces in months.

Focus on being the partner everyone wants on their tee sheet. When you stop obsessing over the perfect shot or score, you make space for the player to show up.

Let me hear your answers below. What does authentic you look like?

Seriously, does it get much better than this? ☀️🏌️‍♀️⛳🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒?

All too often the brain gets left behind when trying to solve technical problems.

Let me be clear, I believe we've come a long way. We used to ignore physical limitations, but now the body rightfully so) is part of the conversation.

The next frontier, however, is the brain. If we're not examining the relationship between the brain and the swing, we might risk focusing on symptom treatment, rather than addressing the cause.

What does this look like? In an ideal world, have someone certified be a part of the conversation when trying to make swing changes. I work with golfers where I'm in contact with the coach, and aware of what they're working on. So when I'm working with the player, I can reinforce good habits the coach is looking to instill, and vice versa. This takes time, and effort. But, it can make it easier to create long term changes. Let me be clear. I'm not a coach, and I do not work on the technical stuff. I only reinforce the shared language from the coach.

That's sometimes easier said than done for many reasons.

But if you're a player, or a coach, interested in this collaborative approach, DM me to find out how we can work together using this idea.

This is the Taylored Mindset approach.

I made a common mistake I highlight to my athletes. It's one thing to know what to do, but doing it is where the real growth happens.

I think because I’m an "expert" in mental performance, I’m immune to making mental errors in training. Ironically, that actually just means I’m more likely to make them in the first place...

Thankfully my coach called me out. He reminded me of the advice I give daily: Knowing the path might feel like the hard part, but walking it is the work.

This is the Taylored Mindset approach in practice.
