Is it to win? To improve? To prove something? Or are you just trying not to fail?

In this episode, we dig into the deeper motivation behind everything we do—on the golf course and in life. Because your “why” doesn’t just influence your performance… it shapes your mindset, your joy, and even your faith.

I share a personal story about a non-Christian friend who asked me to pray for him—an unexpected moment that reminded me that our purpose is often bigger than we think. I also talk about mentoring young men through golf, using the game as a bridge to something far more meaningful: understanding the teachings of Jesus.

If your “why” is off, everything feels heavier. But when your purpose is grounded in something eternal, it changes how you play, how you live, and how you see every opportunity in front of you.

Featuring a powerful perspective inspired by C. S. Lewis: if this world isn’t enough to satisfy us, maybe we were made for another.

This episode will challenge you to ask one simple question…
What is your why?
