GOLF PHD

We use the science of human behaviour to improve your golf GAME.

GOLF PHD is for every golfer who is motivated to learn performance skills and apply them to their game. We work with tour players, college/university student-athletes, junior players, and those who are new to the game.

We believe every player deserves the opportunity to feel confident and empowered with their mental game.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

GOLF PHD uses evidence-based and personalized strategies to help you get there.

OUR RESOURCES

It takes a team

We know the importance of supporting all members of the team, not just the athlete.

01

ATHLETES

No matter where you are in your golf career (tour player, college student-athlete, junior player, recreational player), there are performance skills you can learn to make you a consistent, stronger, and happier player.

02

PARENTS

Parents are often wondering how they can best support their athletes. We provide parent coaching to help you feel more confident and empowered when talking to your child.

03

COACHES

Many coaches, instructors, and caddies are in a high-demand, high-pressure role. We got you. Learn strategies to manage your own mindset and how to effectively communicate with your athletes.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Dr Rashmeen Nirmal is a Registered Psychologist and Sport Performance Coach.

As a former NCAA golfer in Florida and a PhD level psychologist, Dr Nirmal truly understands what it is like to be a high performance athlete while navigating the pressures of both sport and life. This is why she founded GOLF PHD. She firmly believes that every player deserves the right to have access to mental performance education and coaching not only to improve their performance, but to help prevent mental health symptoms from developing. An important part of this is also supporting the whole system in sport - athletes, parents, caddies, and coaches.

These images are so dreamy. There is something so whimsical about cherry blossoms! I’ve yet to see them on a course until @golfersjournal captured them.
It was such a pleasure to be on the @golfyourselfhealthy podcast and to talk about how powerful (and healthy!) the game of golf is. A game that teaches us resilience, courage, bravery, learning from adversity, mindfulness, and so on and so forth. Def
