Short Game Masterclass – Jim Waldron #375

Short Game Masterclass – Jim Waldron #375

Author: Karl Morris September 12, 2025 Duration: 55:53

The way to really make a difference in your scoring in the next 12 months.

Don't waste any more of your time chipping incorrectly

Today on the show we welcome back my very good friend and colleague Jim Waldron to help you get a really clear view on the short game.

In this conversation we expose many of the myths and misconceptions around the short game and give you an excellent pathway to look forward to a better game around the greens.

Jim has an absolute wealth of experience in all aspects of the game but over the past 40 years or so he has really specialized in the short game. This conversation shows that clearly.

The big difference between the SHORT GAME swing and the POWER SWING and why you need to know the difference.

  • Learning a new set of physical skills
  • The crucial element of the pivot in the short game
  • Why you don't have time to 'save' the shot in the short game in the way you do in the long game
  • The difference between CLASSICAL chipping and MODERN chipping
  • The debate between STEEP and SHALLOW, using the leading edge or using the bounce
  • What is the real truth and is it a combination of the two
  • The law of forward shaft lean and the low point
  • How to turn your skills into SHOTS
  • Taking your short game skills to the course

As ever with Jim this is a brilliant conversation full of absolute gems of great information

It would be impossible to listen to this podcast and not have a better and more clear approach to your scoring shots

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.
