One of the secrets really stood out to me

Socratic questioning and how being prepared to 'go into' the problem you have with your game could actually help find a solution

What would you 'need' to do to slice the ball?

Can you actually experience what you would need to do to deliberately create the 'mistake'?

This area of enquiry was just one of the fascinating topics that we managed to cover in a really wide ranging conversation:

  • Why trying to get rid of the 'ego' is the ultimate ego trip
  • Playing to your strengths as a coach
  • The uses and misuses of technology
  • Becoming more of a SHOT coach
  • Giving our shots a 'name'
  • The problem with 'Method Coaching' and why this is perhaps the least effective coaching model
  • The dangers of relying on our memory

 

Nick has had a very long and distinguished coaching career, studying with some of the world's best coaches like David Leadbetter and then going on to coach top players such as Justin Rose

He is a deep thinker about the game and is refreshingly honest and forthright in his opinions of what we need to do to get the best from our game

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.
