Today, I’m sharing a recap of my experience and learning lessons from participating in my first-ever Member-Member Tournament.
In this episode, I take you inside my very first member-member tournament at Tampa Palms Golf & Country Club—a 63-hole gauntlet of match play, missteps, and mindset mastery.
You’ll hear firsthand stories of:
- hitting 12 fairways on day one (and what fell apart after that)
- navigating USGA match play rules I hadn’t previously known
- the temptation to confront cheating—and how I chose to respond
- coaching my partner through his mental spiral mid-round
- laughing off bad shots to stay in the fight
- and how I learned to protect my energy from angry, frustrated playing partners
If you’re serious about developing mental toughness, emotional resiliency, and learning to perform under pressure, you’ll take away more than a few insights from this candid tournament recap.
I walk through what went well, what didn’t, and the tangible mindset and skill improvements I’m now laser-focused on. And of course, I share how this entire experience translates beyond the course, too.
This one’s packed with real stories, practical lessons, and reminders to keep showing up, even when the conditions—and competition—get tough.
