How Elite Golfers Reset: Routines, Stats, and Better Decisions with Arjun Malik

On the Mark Podcast welcomes Arjun Malik—one of the leading voices helping grow the game in India—for a deep dive into the part of golf improvement that most players skip: routines and structure. Mark and Arjun's conversation quickly turns into a practical masterclass on what happens before the shot, after the shot, before the round, and after the round—and how those habits separate serious golfers from weekend “range ball beaters.” Arjun shares his own journey as a self-taught golfer who struggled with “quantity over quality,” including a memorable tournament warm-up where he hit ~300 balls and was exhausted by the back nine. That experience shaped his coaching mission: build systems that help golfers prepare smarter, track performance honestly, and show up on the course with confidence—not chaos. ______________________ 00:00 Intro 02:05 Arjun’s origin story 04:10 The 300-ball warm-up mistake 06:30 India’s hard-work culture vs “smart work” 09:40 Post-round analysis 13:10 Building patterns 15:10 Fix negativity 18:55 Post-shot reset 22:30 Tour rehearsal habits 25:55 Pre-shot routines 29:10 Visual vs auditory players 30:40 Off-season routine training + timing it 46:10 “Flow state” golf 46:55 Where to find Arjun + coaching base in Gurgaon (Zen Golf) ______________________ STREAMING: On the Mark is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
