  • Audio Golf: Can Sound Improve Your Golf Swing?
    Jun 10 2026

    In this episode, Chase and Raymond are joined by Chia Chou, concert pianist, university professor, and founder of Audio Golf.

    Chia shares how his background in elite music training led him to explore movement, rhythm, tempo, and sound as tools for better performance. The conversation dives into movement sonification, auditory-motor entrainment, putting tempo, wedge distance control, driver sequencing, and why sound can help golfers access skill without getting buried in mechanics.

    They also discuss where Audio Golf may be most useful, where it has limits, and how mindset still matters when pressure, anxiety, or the yips show up.

  • Dr. Pete Kadushin: The Stories That Shape Your Game
    May 26 2026

    In this episode of Golf Beneath the Surface, Chase and Raymond are joined by Dr. Pete Kadushin to explore how the stories we tell ourselves shape the way we perform.

    They unpack how beliefs, narratives, and past experiences can quietly create the “rules” golfers play by—rules about score, failure, swing mechanics, pressure, and what is or isn’t possible. Pete explains why sport often acts as an amplifier, revealing the same patterns we bring into other high-meaning, high-uncertainty areas of life.

    The conversation dives into why golfers often chase swing fixes when the real issue is their relationship with discomfort, uncertainty, or heartbreak. They also discuss swing thoughts, when to make in-round adjustments, why one bad shot is not always a pattern, and how trust can create more freedom than constant correction.

    This is a great episode for golfers, coaches, and parents who want to better understand how mindset, narratives, and self-protection can either limit performance or open the door to growth.

  • Thoughts That Create Pressure Part 2: The Hidden Layers
    May 19 2026

    In this follow-up episode of Golf Beneath the Surface, Chase and Raymond continue the conversation on thoughts, pressure, and performance.

    After introducing A-shaped and V-shaped thinking in the previous episode, they go deeper into why simply trying to “not think” is impossible, why judging thoughts often makes them louder, and how pressure builds when golfers treat thoughts as facts, predictions, or commands.

    They also explore confidence, confirmation bias, and the deeper layers behind pressure, from one bad shot to fear of letting others down, needing approval, or tying performance to identity.

    This episode is about learning to see thoughts more clearly, widen your margin for error, and give yourself permission to perform freely without needing perfect feelings, perfect thoughts, or perfect outcomes first.
