What happens when the interviewer becomes the interviewee?

In this special episode of The Mind Caddie, Jim Waldron turns the tables on Karl Morris for a fascinating conversation about Karl's own journey through golf, coaching and the mental game.

Karl reveals how a 30-year struggle with his own golf ultimately transformed his approach to performance coaching — and why he believes golfers often look for answers in completely the wrong place.

In this episode:

  • Karl's journey from teenage golfer to professional coach

  • Why technical thinking can actually damage your golf

  • His work with players including Louis Oosthuizen and Lee Westwood

  • Why observation is the most important principle in the mental game

  • How acceptance and gratitude can reduce the threat of golf

  • Why creating your own definition of success could transform your game

A revealing conversation about golf psychology, confidence, performance and what it really takes to play better golf.

Perhaps the answer isn't another swing thought. Perhaps it's learning to stop thinking and start observing.

Karl Morris has spent years working as a performance coach with some of the best golfers in Europe, and in Mind Caddie-Improve Your Mental Golf Game, he shares that expertise directly with you. This isn't just about swing thoughts or technical fixes; it's a deep, practical exploration of the psychology that dictates performance on the course. The conversation moves beyond simple positive thinking to address the real challenges players face: handling frustration after a bad hole, maintaining focus over eighteen holes, and building a resilient confidence that doesn't vanish under tournament pressure. Each episode feels like a personal session, breaking down the mental frameworks used by tour professionals into actionable strategies for any committed player. You'll hear discussions on managing expectations, creating effective pre-shot routines, and understanding how your brain can be your greatest asset or your biggest obstacle. The aim is to provide the tools that help you access your best game more often, turning those range sessions into reliable performance when it truly counts. Tune into this podcast for honest, nuanced talks that get to the heart of why we play the way we do, offering a distinct advantage that has nothing to do with new equipment and everything to do with the space between your ears.
