Golf Psycho Podcast
Welcome to the Golf Psycho Podcast – the ultimate golf mental game podcast for players who want to dominate the course and master their mind.
I’m Carlos Benavidez – a lifelong golfer with over 30 years on the course and 15+ years of experience in human behavior and habit change. Once a total headcase on the green (think Tin Cup!), I completely transformed my mental game with the help of my brilliant wife Laurie, a pediatric occupational therapist and wellness coach.
Together, we created a one-of-a-kind Golf Mental Game Evaluation that’s helped me—and now so many others—play the best golf of their lives.
-If you’re obsessed with golf…
-Or if golf makes you lose your mind…
This podcast is for YOU.
Each week, we dive into:
- The nervous system and how it affects your swing
- How to build bulletproof focus and resilience
- Real talk about performance, wellness, and even the spiritual side of the game
- Unlocking the secrets and strategies that no one else is talking about
We don’t just want to help you lower your scores—we want to help you become the kind of player (and person) you’ve always wanted to be.
