Author: Karl Morris September 11, 2026 Duration: 1:05:58

One of the biggest opportunities to lower your golf scores lies between 60 and 140 yards?

In this episode of The Mind Caddie, Karl Morris is joined by renowned golf researcher and coach Dr. Sasho Mackenzie to explore the science of wedge play, distance control, practice, feel and skill development.

They discuss why better feedback can transform your practice, how technology can help develop genuine feel, and why becoming highly skilled with your wedges could give you the confidence to attack more pins and lower your scores.

In this episode:

  • 🎯 Why 60–140 yards is a scoring sweet spot for many golfers
  • 🧠 How feedback and feel actually help you develop skill
  • 📊 Why measuring your real wedge performance can transform confidence
  • 🏌️ The science behind Stack Wedge and smarter practice
  • 🔥 Why contact, ball speed and distance control matter more than obsessing over swing positions
  • ⚡ Sasho's insights into sequencing, speed and the full golf swing

A fascinating conversation for anyone looking to improve their golf, lower their handicap, practise more effectively and become a better wedge player.

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.

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.
