Golf Psychology Workshop March 2025 - write up and presentation

28 March, 2025

On Sunday 23 March, Frilford Heath hosted an OLCGA Golf Psychology Workshop entitled “Using a performance mindset to maximise potential.”. The event proved a popular draw with 50 members of the Association, of all ages and abilities, attending the two-hour event. The session included junior and senior county squad members, after the latter group had taken part in a morning short-game skills session.

The workshop explored a range of techniques designed to assist performance on the Course. The session included group discussion and interaction, and was thought-provoking and fun. Everyone went away with a few tips and tools to aid them in the playing season ahead.

Lauren Tufton, who is a Senior Lecturer in Sport Psychology, Physical Education and Coaching at Buckinghamshire New University, a registered HCPC Sport and Exercise Psychologist, and a Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society led the session for us. With research and applied practice interests including creativity in sport, and human performance optimisation in high stakes environments, Lauren proved to be a knowledgeable, adaptable and engaging facilitator on the day.
