About this episode

Power off the tee. Power between the ears.

8-time Canadian Long Drive Champion Lisa “Longball” Vlooswyk returns to Next on the Tee to share what years of competing under pressure taught her about generating speed, handling nerves, creating more distance, and bouncing back after a bad swing. Lisa also shares a simple way everyday golfers can create more clubhead speed—without swinging out of their shoes.

Then, Dr. Jim Afremow and Emmy-nominated writer Phil White make their Next on the Tee debut to discuss their new book, The Daily Champion’s Mind. We dive into building real confidence, embracing pressure, overcoming doubt, resetting after mistakes, avoiding analysis paralysis, and separating who you are from how you performed.

Plus, we head to Augusta National to explore the mental challenge of The Masters and what happens when a player realizes, I can actually win this thing.

Distance. Confidence. Mental toughness. Gratitude. And, of course, a healthy dose of Vitamin G.

It’s all on this edition of Next on the Tee—where golf legends live and your game gets better.
