Author: Karl Morris November 28, 2025 Duration: 50:53

It is wonderful to welcome back again onto the show my very good friend Jim Waldron to discuss what I believe to be THE single most important mental skill of all ACCEPTANCE

We have had Jim on the show many times before but each time I get him back people say just how much they enjoy our conversations

Jim is such a generous man with his time and he brings with him an incredible depth and breadth of knowledge about the game.

His own experiences and the people he has worked with and studied under.

He is as busy as ever coaching in some wonderful locations in Oregon and Hawaii

In today's conversation we discuss:

  • Why acceptance is THE foundational mental game skill
  • Acceptance of what our mind is actually doing
  • Having some form of meditation practice
  • Not resisting your experience
  • Being willing to deal with all possible outcomes
  • What acceptance certainly isn't
  • As ever a really engaging and thought provoking session with a truly remarkable coac

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.
