Why do we find SIMPLE golf so difficult? – Jon Sherman and Adam Young #384

Author: Karl Morris November 21, 2025 Duration: 52:03

On today's show we have a unique combination of two of the game's foremost thinkers and coaches Jon Sherman and Adam Young.

They host the fabulous podcast 'The Sweet Spot' which I have been fortunate to be a guest on a few times.

Adam Young is the author of the 'Practice Manual' and Jon Sherman is the author of 'Four Foundations of Golf'

We had a fabulous conversation about how to REALLY make a difference to your game

  • We discussed the Big Three of Impact
  • The non negotiables
  • Face Orientation
  • Strike Location
  • Ground Contact
  • The difference between focusing on Micro and Macro in coaching
  • How the genius lies with the student not the coach
  • Why it is easier to sell a 'swing system' than giving the power to the student
  • Know what you are signing up for if you are working on MACRO changes
  • Getting to the 'scene of the crime' with impact
  • Understanding the power of INTENTION
  • Can you do the process as a student
  • What is ACTUALLY happening at impact
  • Keeping track of your impact patterns
  • Being open to what you HAVE today as opposed to what you WISH you had
  • Understanding how you need to change your questions to change your game.
  • A ground breaking conversation with two wonderful coaches
  • Are YOU going to be brave enough to keep it simple?

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.
