Laura has conducted some amazing research around putting over the past number of years in particular around gaze control and also brain activity prior to actually hitting the putt.

What she has uncovered has the potential to transform the way putting is both learned and performed.

The conversation will REALLY get you thinking about the way you approach your game on the greens.

In our time together we looked at:

  • The difference in brain activity just before the stroke is made between successful and unsuccessful putters.
  • Why doubt over the ball is so detrimental to performance
  • How this increases brain activity which then compromises your stroke
  • Why a line on the ball may not be the most effective strategy
  • Why practicing with putting aids and gadgets can be of limited value
  • The role of the eyes in supplying information for your putt
  • The value of 'quiet eye'
  • Busy eyes make for a bust brain
  • How to train to then perform
  • Why you shouldn't just keep hitting putt after putt when you are training

 

This is a really refreshing and far reaching conversation that could potentially apply to the whole of your game

A lot of what Laura and Caesar had to say resonated with many of the ideas presented by Gary Nicol and myself in the Lost Art of Putting

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.

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.
