The One Muscle Every Golfer Must Train (But No One Talks About)

This might be the most important podcast episode we've recorded for competitive golfers—or any player who wants to finally perform when it matters. We're not talking about biceps or glutes here. The most crucial muscle you can train in golf? Your mental grind muscle. Yep, it’s a real thing. And in this episode, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf break down exactly how the top 1% of golfers can still score—even when they’re swinging like trash. From behind-the-scenes stories of major champions like Tiger Woods, Scotty Scheffler, and David Toms, to raw insight from lessons and coaching tours, we explain why mental toughness and shotmaking under pressure is what separates the elite from everyone else. If you've ever given up after a bad front nine, or if your swing goes AWOL mid-round and you spiral—this episode is for you. This one mental muscle might be the only thing holding you back from that next level. You’ll learn: How pros grind out scores without their A-game The exact skill to develop when things go sideways Why perfectionism ruins most golfers Shot-shaping strategies that save tournament rounds What makes a true killer on the course (even without talent) 🎧 Hit play, take notes, and if you’ve got a club championship or qualifier coming up—re-listen on the way there.
