One Round Away
One Round Away Podcast Part of the School of Lifetime Low Rounds and In The Zone Mental Training | Powered by the Caveman Golfers movement
You already have what it takes to play the best golf of your life. You just haven't learned how to access it yet.
One Round Away is the podcast for golfers who are done grinding on the range, done buying new equipment, and done reading tips that work on Tuesday and disappear by Saturday. Hosted by golf performance coach Bo Watson and national champion speed skater turned mental performance expert Shannon Shuskey, this show is built around one bold belief: the biggest gap in your game isn't in your swing — it's in the six inches between your ears.
Bo spent years studying under some of the most respected names in golf instruction — working alongside coaches connected to Justin Rose, Sean Foley, and PGA Tour players — before walking away from the game in frustration in 2016.
Shannon overcame being born severely club-footed to become a U.S. national champion and record holder, and went on to coach athletes to over 140 national championships, multiple world titles, and Olympic medals. When the two met at church in 2018, the conversation that started over a dinner table became the foundation of a system that has since helped hundreds of golfers drop an average of 5+ strokes in 45 days — without a single swing change.
That system is called "Caveman Golf." And this podcast is where they teach it.
Every week, Bo and Shannon bring you raw, honest conversations about the mental game — joined by world-class guest experts including PGA Tour coaches, sports psychologists, and everyday golfers who've had real breakthroughs. You'll learn how to trigger your zone state on demand, how to play with the instinctive freedom of a Caveman Golfer, and how to finally close the gap between the golfer you are on the range and the golfer you know you're capable of being on the course.
This isn't just a golf podcast. It's a movement. The School of Lifetime Low Rounds exists for one reason: to help 100,000 golfers shoot their new personal best — and to help them become better people in the process.
You are one round away. Let's go find it.
