Is your THINKING destroying your GAME? – Dr Chris Niebauer #380

Author: Karl Morris October 24, 2025 Duration: 58:49

The problem with thinking so much and more importantly BELIEVING those thoughts

Today on the Mind Caddie we have a really special guest in the shape of Dr Chris Niebauer author of the incredible books 'No Self No Problem' and 'The No Self No Problem Workbook'

Chris's work has been a really big influence on my thinking over recent times.

He paints a wonderful picture of what Golf and Life could be if we began to have a different relationship to our thinking mind.

If we could understand what our thinking mind is actually up to.

We wouldn't take it so seriously.

We wouldn't try to control our experience as much

We discuss Left Brain – Right Brain theories and how important it is to understand the differences and how it can potentially help your life

  • The importance of the book 'The Master and his Emissary'
  • The 'voice in the head' and why we don't have to take it so seriously
  • The constant creation of stories created by the Left Brain
  • Ways to GROUND yourself in the present
  • Why when the mind puts effort in one direction there is a pushback in another direction
  • We cannot use thinking to stop us thinking !!
  • Could thought itself be the problem?

Some really fascinating insights about our mind and how it actually works. I cannot recommend Chris and his work highly enough

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.
