Author: Karl Morris May 30, 2025 Duration: 48:48

Why your current practice could actually be making you WORSE

Today we are joined by a really special guest in the shape of the MD of Zen Golf Will Stubbs

We had a fascinating conversation about creating a truly effective learning environment

Understanding the dynamic and chaotic environment that is golf and why we need to replicate that in practice

  • Looking a golf as a series of PUZZLES to solve
  • Changing learning from school onwards to make an experience inherently PRACTICAL
  • How to develop really effective golfing SKILL
  • Putting
  • How slopes create different movements with EVERYONE
  • How to really OWN your own putting
  • Utilising our instinctive movement patterns
  • What does the BALL need to do to go in the hole? Be able to develop more of an EXTERNAL focus
  •  Building from the HOLE backwards
  • The environment dictates the SHOT
  • Does the environment create a sense of opportunity? Seeing the environment as an assistance to enhance skill
  • The SHOT creating the SWING
  • Getting rid of the idea of BASELINES to incredible ADAPTABILITY

A really tremendous conversation with a deep thinker about the game and a company that is having a real impact.

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.
