For the Love of Golf – Staying on the Path through joy and frustration #370

Author: Karl Morris August 8, 2025 Duration: 56:07

Howard Glassman and Tim O'Connor

Today on the Mind Caddie we have a very special 3 - way conversation with my good friends from across the pond Howard Glassman and Tim O'Connor who host the wonderful podcast 'Swing Thoughts' which I have been lucky enough to be a guest on many times in the past.

We had a fantastic and wide ranging conversation about the evolution of their podcast and the individual journey's they have both been on with the game of golf.

Howard Glassman in a legendary radio host in the Toronto area and Tim O'Connor is a highly regarded author and coach

We discussed the joys of GENUINE conversation and how many men are still reluctant to 'go there' with deeper conversations

  • How the game of golf REVEALS everything about us
  • A mirror to how we really are
  • The obsession that is golf
  • How to evolve a better RELATIONSHIP with the game of golf
  • Being at PEACE with the game and not allowing it define your actual value as a human being
  • More information doesn't lead us to better golf
  • Craving to play better can so often keep us stuck
  • Learning through our own experience
  • The difference between wanting to get better and actually being COMMITTED
  • Being bullet proof with our attitude
  • The myths of what will actually make us happy
  • The joy of being on the 'path to mastery'
  • Getting joy from the pursuit not the destination

A truly wonderful and engaging conversation with two genuinely good people who love the game of golf

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.
