Listen "Ep. 104 The Bathurst Battle & The Freedom Fix"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textIn this episode of The Missing Links Golf Show, Steve and Andy break down two very different competition experiences—each packed with lessons that every golfer can relate to.Steve kicks things off with his experience at The Bathurst Open, a weekend that didn’t go quite to plan on the scoreboard, but revealed plenty of positives. Despite a tough stretch, he stayed competitive, fought through the swings that weren’t quite cooperating, and found real momentum with a significantly improved putting performance in Round 2. It’s a raw conversation about managing expectations, dealing with frustration, and learning to take the wins even on the hard days.Andy then shares a round of his own—one that started shaky before a single mental commitment flipped everything. After grinding through the front nine, he made the choice to swing freely, and the shift unlocked his game. His back nine became a lesson in trust, freedom, and letting go of the tension that quietly sabotages so many golfers.Together, the boys dive into:The mindset needed to stay in the fight when your “A game” doesn’t show upWhy small performance gains (like putting) matter more than most golfers thinkThe mental trigger that helped Andy turn the round aroundHow freedom, commitment, and acceptance can unlock better swingsThe value of learning from off-days, not just the highlight reelsWhat everyday golfers can take from two competitive rounds with very different story arcsIf you’ve ever battled through a tough comp, struggled to find rhythm, or felt the magic of finally swinging free, this episode will hit home.Join the fun by entering The Missing Links Yearly Championship to compete with Steve, Andy and other Pilgrims from all across the world.
