Author: Karl Morris June 6, 2025 Duration: 1:02:22

Today we have a really special show with two good friends and outstanding coaches Jim Waldron and Justin Tang

We had a wonderful conversation about the current CULTURE of golf instruction and what it is ACTUALLY doing for our game.

The resulting conversation was outstanding:

  • What are the BELIEFS that need to be challenged to move forward ?
  • The mistake we make in thinking that movement can be changed easily
  • The commitment and dedication required
  • A 'path of mastery' approach
  • The language of 'easy and simple' and why that is so limiting to make changes
  • The over technical approach and why it holds so many people back
  • Are we teaching the swing or the individual?
  • Everyone has a different NEUTRAL
  • Are you a 'Body Only' coach?
  • The myth of Mind Body dualism
  • The 'Mind Body' connection and why it is so important
  • The skill of focused ATTENTION
  • The role of EMOTIONS
  • The role of the mind body connection in MARTIAL ARTS
  • The role of economics in traditional coaches – The wealth – power imbalance
  • What is the future for GREAT coaching?
  • A truly fantastic conversation with two great coaches

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.
