#97: [Inside the Mind] Evan Singer: Turning Discomfort into Growth On and Off the Course

In this episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I sit down with Evan Singer, Mental Coach and Host of The Par Train Podcast, for a conversation that blends golf, life, relationships, and fatherhood into one powerful masterclass on resilience, self-awareness, and asking for what you want. From transforming pain into purpose to managing stress on the course, Evan shares how to find clarity in what you truly want—whether in golf, business, or love—and how to use reflection as a performance supercharger. In this episode, you'll learn: Why discomfort is often the catalyst for clarity and growth How to ask for what you want without fear or guilt The "full body yes" test for making aligned decisions A simple yet powerful framework for managing on-course stress How to build a reset routine after back-to-back bad holes The role of ruthless reflection in accelerating improvement What fatherhood teaches about perspective, presence, and priorities This is a conversation about slowing down, embracing discomfort, and learning to "enjoy the ride" no matter what life throws your way. Get your pencils ready and start listening. P.S. Curious to learn more about the results my clients are experiencing and what they say about working with me? Read more here.
