​Pressure in golf shows up as shaky hands, fast tempo, and that “don’t mess this up” voice. In this Golf Podcasts USA coaching series (Mental Game), PGA Master Professional Coach Claude Brousseau — Director of Player Development at Wailea Golf Academy — shares a simple mental cue / self-talk system you can use under pressure.

In this episode:
• The one cue Coach Claude gives golfers when they feel shaky
• Process vs behavior cues (breath/target vs tempo/finish)
• How to replace outcome-thinking (“I need par”) with a useful thought
• A quick 10-second breathing + cue routine before any shot
• Scenarios: first tee jitters, late-round score protection, short par-save putts, match-play moments

​Special Episode — Golf Podcasts USA

Golf Podcasts USA is America’s local golf podcast network — covering golf stories, course spotlights, and golf culture across all 50 states (plus destination feeds).

In this special episode, Brett Smith interviews author Rich Poggi about Fairways and Greens: a Novel — a story where golf becomes a metaphor for life decisions: second chances, legacy, and the shot you never planned to hit.

About the book: Doug Parker is the protagonist — once destined for PGA Tour stardom until injury and self-destruction changed everything. Decades later, he’s rebuilt his life teaching the game with discipline and purpose at the club where he grew up… while fighting to keep that golf-only club alive in a changing world — until a phone call from his past forces him to confront what he thought he left behind.

If you love golf stories that feel real — this one’s for you.

Next up: Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines — what to expect, winning-score vibe, and our picks (including the headline: Brooks Koepka is back). We also spotlight Torrey Pines (public) and PGA West Nicklaus with simple “how to play it” and “how to build a trip around it” trip guidance.

Plus: golf tech + gear you’ll actually care about — PuttView AR green reading (practice gold), Toptracer Go + making practice more social, and drivers we hit at Demo Day including the Cobra OPTM X (straight + long) and the Callaway Quantum Triple Diamond.
