How Low Can you Go? – David Alexander and Chris Donaldson #410

How Low Can you Go? – David Alexander and Chris Donaldson #410

Author: Karl Morris May 22, 2026 Duration: 50:15

Today on the Mind Caddie, I'm joined by the hosts of the hugely popular golf podcast How Low Can You Go? — David Alexander and Chris Donaldson.

I first met David and Chris at the Mind Caddie seminar at Murrayfield Golf Club, hosted by Jonnie Cliff, and it was immediately clear these two golfers were on a journey.

Like so many club golfers, they simply wanted to answer one question:

How good can I actually become?

That commitment to improvement, curiosity, and honest self-reflection became the foundation of their now fast-growing podcast How Low Can You Go?

They previously invited me onto their show, so it was great to return the favour and dive deeper into the realities of golf improvement, performance psychology, expectations, and resilience.

This episode will resonate with every golfer trying to lower their handicap, manage frustration on the course, and enjoy the process of getting better.

In this conversation we discuss:

  • Why the real prize in golf is often the journey, not the score
  • Managing expectations and avoiding the comparison trap
  • Why you must learn to trust and research your own experience
  • Golf as a powerful tool for character building and personal growth
  • The "1-2-3 System" for handling poor shots and difficult outcomes
  • How Dave rebuilt his confidence after hitting rock bottom
  • The emotional ups and downs every amateur golfer experiences
  • Mindset strategies for club golfers wanting long-term improvement

This is a warm, honest, funny and insightful discussion with two passionate golfers whose story many of you will instantly relate to.

If you enjoy conversations around golf psychology, golf improvement, mental performance, and the realities of amateur golf, this episode is for you.

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.
