Where Golf Meets Science, Psychology, and Pressure
The difference between being good and being great isn’t your swing — it’s your state of mind.
At the Mental Golf Performance Lab, we help golfers at every level — elite juniors, college players, and committed amateurs — perform their best when it matters most.
Our approach is built around one simple truth: every shot is both physical and psychological. Using biomechanics, neuroscience, and mental conditioning, we identify what’s really holding you back — and build a plan to fix it.
The Lab Advantage: A Smarter Way to Train
1. Technical Precision
Using Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) screening, we pinpoint whether a performance issue stems from mechanics or mindset. You’ll understand how your body moves — and how those limitations or strengths affect your swing under pressure.
2. Psychological Profiling
Through validated psychological testing, we create your Athletic Profile — identifying your emotional patterns, confidence levels, and stress responses that impact your decision-making on the course.
3. Real-World Stress Simulation
We don’t just talk about pressure — we replicate it. Using artificial stress stimuli, we recreate competitive conditions so you can learn to stay composed, focused, and confident in real tournaments.
4. Measured Mental Performance
With Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and the FocusCalm device, we track your body’s physiological responses to stress — and monitor progress over time. We analyze whether interventions are working and fine-tune your training to ensure continued gains.
5. Data-Driven Feedback
Every step is measured: HRV, FocusCalm data, Strokes Gained analysis, and video performance metrics are combined to form your personalized improvement plan. You’ll know what’s changing — and why.
