The Par Train - Helping Frustrated Golfers #EnjoyTheRide

The Par Train-A Mental Golf Show is a podcast that focuses on an often ignored aspect of golf. A golfer's mindset is a crucial part of their overall success. As it is not something one can physically see, it can be difficult to change a mindset without help. This show focuses on helping golfers improve by introducing different mental modalities.

Matt Cermak and Evan Singer are the hosts and creators of this podcast. The two met at a close friend's wedding and performed a toast together. At the wedding, they discovered they shared a mutual love of golf. This helped to solidify the friendship and led to them producing this show. Cermak comes from a family of golfers and played for Missouri State University.

Singer is the podcast's primary host and the Par Train's cofounder. The company began with a desire to provide one-on-one coaching to golfers in need. While many coaches focus on the physical aspect of the game, Singer felt that the mental aspects got overlooked. He then decided to find a way to share the mindfulness techniques he had learned with others. Singer hopes to improve the golf game of as many players as possible.

One of the more compelling aspects of the show are its interview segments. Each episode sees the hosts sitting down with an accomplished athlete or professional. The variety of interview subjects is wide-ranging. A notable segment features PGA legend Virgil Herring. An accomplished player and coach, Herring was the first PGA pro to give a TED talk.

David Meltzer has also been a guest on the program. He was the CEO of the sports agency that served as the inspiration for the film Jerry Maguire. His episode focuses not on golf technique but on the subjects of gratitude and happiness.

New episodes of The Par Train-A Mental Golf Show podcast air weekly. Episodes are about one hour in length.
