Mike & Eli of Chasing Scratch - Letting Scratch Happen
On this episode we have Mike & Eli from the Chasing Scratch podcast. For the 3 people that haven’t heard of or listened to Chasing Scratch, Mike & Eli started a journey back in 2018 at 11 handicaps and were trying to get to scratch in a year. I won’t spoil anything for you but it’s been 6 years since then and they’re still doing the podcast, so I’ll let you deduce whether or not they’ve made it to scratch.
We talk:
- what it's like to run a big podcast and get a lot of attention
- why they sometimes shy from that attention
- contrast their mental and physical game from Season 1 to now
- mental fragility
- negative thinking
- handling pressure
- the worst and best case scenarios of their competitive golf in 2024
- difference between nerves and anxiety
- a better competitive mentality
- balancing working on physical and mental game
- and of course we have the obligatory team bear vs team shark conversation at the end, but with a different spin on it.
