You’d fire a caddie who talked to you the way you talk to yourself after a bad shot. So why have you been carrying that bag for years?

In Episode 3 of The Golfer’s Mind Lab, BJ breaks down the psychology of self-talk — what negative inner dialogue actually does to your nervous system, why golfers are so much harder on themselves than they’d ever be on a playing partner, and why the fix isn’t forced positivity.

This week’s challenge: the Caddy Tally. No behavior change required — just a tally mark on your scorecard every time the inner critic shows up. The data from one round might be the most useful thing you take off the course.

Plus: BJ’s personal on-course recap from his own round running the Caddy Tally.
