What should you really be doing with your golf game this winter? Should you rebuild your swing from the ground up, sharpen the skills you already have, or focus on the mental game that allows you to perform under pressure?
In this episode of The Mind Caddie, performance coach Karl Morris is joined by renowned golf instructor and mind-body specialist Jim Waldron for another fascinating conversation about how to get the very best out of your game. Together, they explore why winter can be the perfect time to make fundamental swing changes, how to build new movement patterns effectively, and why simply hitting balls at the driving range while thinking about your technique is unlikely to deliver the results you want.
Jim shares his practical approach to swing development, explaining the importance of slow-motion mirror work, training one change at a time, and creating a clear memory of the correct movement before gradually increasing speed. But there's another route to improvement that could be far more effective for many golfers: learning to access the skills you already possess by experimenting with different focal points, developing better awareness and refining your ability to control the clubface.
The conversation goes beyond the driving range, too. Karl and Jim discuss walking meditation, improving concentration away from the course, developing resilience, overcoming performance anxiety and learning to let go of the need to control every shot.
They also challenge one of golf's most deeply ingrained assumptions: that you must play the course according to the par printed on the scorecard. What if changing your perception of a hole could transform your course management, reduce pressure and help you enjoy the game more?
Whether you're planning a major swing overhaul or simply want to play better golf next season, this episode offers a wealt…

The secret to better golf is learning to trust your natural ability? In this episode of The Mind Caddie Podcast, performance coach Karl Morris is joined by American golf coach Randy Joyner to explore golf psychology, simplifying the golf swing and unlocking the potential that so often gets lost in technical thinking.
Randy shares the extraordinary early success of his YouTube channel, The Pursuit: Chasing Golf Greatness, where his instinctive approach to the golf swing is helping players rediscover their confidence and enjoyment. Together, Karl and Randy challenge conventional golf coaching and explain why combining the mental and physical sides of the game can transform performance on the course.
In this episode, we explore:
Trusting your instincts: How reconnecting with your natural athletic ability can help you swing more freely and play better golf.
Simplifying the golf swing: Why a natural throwing action can replace complicated swing mechanics, reduce tension and make the game feel easier.
The mental game of golf: How awareness, attention and acceptance can help you handle pressure, stay present and focus on the shot in front of you.
Why practice doesn't always translate to performance: Discover why technical swing thoughts that work on the driving range can disappear when you step onto the golf course.
Playing with what you've got today: How accepting your current form and adapting to the conditions can lead to better decisions, more consistent scoring and greater confidence.
Pursuing great golf instead of avoiding bad shots: Why accepting uncertainty and letting go of the fear of failure can help you unlock your potential and enjoy the game more.

The secret to a better golf swing isn't in your hands, your shoulders or your club — but in your feet?
On this episode of The Mind Caddie Podcast with Karl Morris, Karl welcomes Terry Hashimoto, one of the leading experts in golf biomechanics, pressure mapping and ground reaction forces. Terry has spent decades studying what happens beneath a golfer's feet, working with elite players and developing technology designed to make complex golf science accessible to everyday golfers.
Terry is the creator behind AI Sensor and The Golf Number, innovative technology that measures how pressure moves through your feet during the golf swing. His mission is to turn pressure mapping from an expensive, complicated teaching tool into a practical training system that helps golfers understand what they are actually doing — rather than what they think they are doing.
In this fascinating, funny and occasionally sweary conversation, Karl and Terry explore why pressure transfer could be the missing piece in your golf game, how poor foot pressure can contribute to coming over the top, and why simply understanding where your pressure is moving may help you improve swing path, balance, rotation and distance.
Terry doesn't pull his punches. He challenges conventional golf instruction, questions the obsession with swing positions and argues that golfers can sometimes improve faster by learning to feel their movement instead of filling their heads with mechanical thoughts.
And for Karl, there's a fascinating connection between Terry's work and the mental game: the difference between thinking about what your body should do and actually sensing what your body is doing.
Whether you're a club golfer looking to improve your ball-striking, a golf coach interested in biomechanics, or a player fascinated by the future of AI golf technology, this episode offers plenty to ch…

The key to better golf isn't thinking more, but thinking less?
In this episode of The Mind Caddie, Karl Morris is joined by psychologist and author Dr. Dicken Bettinger for a in depth conversation about the mental game of golf, performance under pressure, stress, overthinking and the "no thought state."
Dicken explains why being in the zone isn't about eliminating thoughts, but changing our relationship with them. When golfers become caught up in thoughts about past mistakes, future shots, technique or results, they can lose connection with the present moment — and with the natural intelligence and skills they have already developed.
Karl and Dicken explore why stress can actually be a useful signal, how letting go of resistance can restore clarity, and why some of the best performances in golf happen when players stop trying to control every aspect of their game and simply respond to what is in front of them.
Drawing on Dicken's experiences with Sydney Banks and the Three Principles, this is a thought-provoking discussion about golf psychology, mindfulness, confidence, pressure and what happens when we learn to trust our training rather than getting trapped inside our heads.
If you've ever stood over a golf shot thinking too much, struggled with pressure, or wondered why your range swing disappears on the course, this conversation could change the way you understand your mental game.
In this episode, Karl Morris and Dr. Dicken Bettinger discuss:
The "no thought state" and what it really means to be fully present on the golf course.
Why overthinking, analysis and trying too hard can interfere with performance.
How stress and pressure are created by our relationship with thought — and how they can become useful signals.
Why golfers can lose access to skills they already possess when they become trapped in their heads.
The connection …

John Dunigan thinks improving your golf swing is not actually the key to improving your golf?
In this episode of The Mind Caddie, Karl Morris is joined by renowned golf coach and skill-acquisition specialist John Dunigan for a conversation that challenges one of the biggest assumptions in modern golf coaching: that the swing itself is the skill.
John's simple but powerful phrase — "The swing is not the skill" — becomes the starting point for a much deeper discussion about how golfers actually learn to play better. Instead of obsessing over positions, mechanics and what the golf swing looks like, Karl and John explore what really matters: what you are trying to make the golf ball do, your awareness of the clubface, intention, feel, feedback and your ability to develop adaptable skills on the course.
PGA Tour Coach and Master Coach - John Dunigan explains why watching the steering wheel while driving would be just as strange as watching your putter during a stroke, and why golfers can become trapped trying to control movements rather than learning to control outcomes. The conversation moves into putting, clubface awareness, shot shaping, practice design and the importance of experimenting with different outcomes rather than treating every mistake as failure.
There is also a fascinating discussion about curiosity rather than judgment — using errors as information and learning from your own patterns and experience. As John puts it, golf can become an ongoing scientific experiment: see the shot, feel the movement, do it, review it, and learn from what happened.
For golfers heading into the winter practice season, this episode offers a very different way of thinking about golf improvement, practice, swing mechanics and performance under pressure.
If you've ever stood on the range trying desperately to perfect your swing, only to discover that …

In this episode of Mind Caddie, Carl Morris is joined by Feldenkrais teacher Dr Jeff Haller to explore the powerful relationship between movement, awareness, balance and performance. Jeff explains how the Feldenkrais Method can help golfers become more aware of their bodies, escape habitual movement patterns and access greater freedom and creativity in their game.
In this episode:
The Feldenkrais Method explained — how curiosity, questions and awareness can reveal physical and neurological possibilities we didn't know we had.
Why balance comes first — Jeff explains why the brain will always prioritise stability and safety, potentially overriding your conscious intention during the golf swing.
Moving beyond technique — how golfers can become trapped trying to use technique to overcome anxiety, rather than developing greater awareness and freedom of movement.
What happens at address — an intriguing look at posture, breathing, balance and the way golfers organise themselves before the club even moves.
The importance of sensation — Jeff distinguishes between thinking, feeling, sensing and intention, and explains how reliable sensory experiences can help golfers discover new possibilities.
From effort to exploration — why reducing effort and becoming genuinely curious about movement can help players escape old habits and find a more composed, spontaneous way of playing.

Playing better golf starts with accepting bad shots rather than trying to prevent them.
In this episode of The Mind Caddie, Karl Morris is joined by golf performance coach Jim Waldron for a deep dive into the mental game of golf, golf psychology, performance under pressure and the mind-body connection.
They explore why acceptance can be the foundation of better performance — and why trying to control your swing, your thoughts and your outcomes can actually make your golf worse.
In this episode:
Acceptance and the mental game — why accepting every possible outcome can reduce threat and free you to perform.
The yips and performance anxiety — why resistance can reinforce the yips and how changing your relationship with them can help.
"Let's see what happens" — the simple mindset used by elite players to reduce emotional attachment to the outcome.
Swing thoughts and overthinking — why micromanaging tiny movements on the golf course can interfere with natural movement and skill.
The mind-body connection — using focused awareness and feel, particularly through the hands, grip and body, rather than constantly thinking about technique.
Playing golf with freedom — moving from hope and fear towards acceptance, confidence, focus and a more carefree approach to performance.
A compelling conversation about golf mental toughness, confidence, focus, the yips, mindfulness, golf performance coaching and how to access the skills you already have.

Your Brain Is Sabotaging Your Golf
What if the reason you're not playing your best golf has almost nothing to do with your swing?
In this fascinating episode of The Mind Caddie, Karl Morris is joined by renowned golf researcher Dr. Debbie Crews, and what she reveals about the brain could completely change the way you approach your next round.
Debbie has spent decades studying what happens inside the brains of golfers and other elite performers. Her latest research explores the different "mini-me's" that can appear on the golf course — the perfectionist, the worrier, the performer, the focused player, the frustrated player and more.
The remarkable discovery? They don't all produce the same brain patterns — and some versions of you are far better at playing golf than others.
Karl and Debbie explore why you should decide who you're going to be before you play, why the final second before the swing is so important, and why thinking about your technique when you're actually playing may be one of the worst things you can do.
They also reveal why target, feel, rhythm and timing can help the brain move away from conscious control and allow your subconscious skills to take over.
And if you've ever stood over a putt drowning in swing thoughts, alignment thoughts and technical information, Debbie has a wonderfully simple solution: get the clutter out of your golf and let your brain and body do what they've been trained to do.
This is a fascinating conversation about neuroscience, subconscious performance, decision-making and the hidden mental game of golf — with some remarkably practical ideas you can take straight onto the course.
In this episode:
🧠 Are you playing with the wrong "you"? Discover Debbie's fascinating research into the different "mini-me's" that emerge during a round.

What if one of the quickest ways to lower your scores has almost nothing to do with changing your golf swing?
In this episode of The Mind Caddie, Karl Morris is joined by world-renowned putting coach Phil Kenyon, who has worked with many of the very best golfers in the game, including Scottie Scheffler.
Karl and Phil explore why putting represents such a huge opportunity for golfers at every level and why simply spending more time on the putting green doesn't necessarily lead to improvement.
They break putting down into three crucial skills — face control, speed control and green reading — and discuss how to identify which area is actually costing you shots.
Phil explains why green reading is better thought of as a prediction skill, how feedback accelerates learning, and why many golfers practise putting without ever really knowing what they're trying to improve.
They also explore the difference between technical practice and performance practice, how elite players structure their putting sessions, and why understanding your own tendencies is far more valuable than constantly searching for the latest tip.
Phil shares fascinating insights from his work with Scottie Scheffler, including the importance of trusting intuition, accepting the inevitable ebb and flow of performance and developing a clear, repeatable approach rather than constantly searching for something new.
The conversation also looks back at legendary putting pioneer Harold Swash, Phil's mentor and one of the people responsible for establishing putting coaching as a specialist discipline.
A fascinating conversation about putting, learning and performance — and why becoming a better putter may be one of the most accessible ways to become a better golfer.
Why face control, speed control and green reading are the three fundamental elements of putting performance.

What really separates great golfers from the rest? In this episode of The Mind Caddie Podcast, Karl Morris is joined by top coach and former tour player Randy Joyner to unpack the mental and technical lessons from the US Open — and how everyday golfers can use them to play better under pressure.

Together, Karl and Randy explore why so many golfers get trapped in overthinking their swing, how elite players stay present when the pressure is at its highest, and why the real key to better golf may be learning to focus on shots, not swing mechanics.
They discuss Wyndham Clark's US Open win, the importance of acceptance, composure and attention control, and why golfers at every level can improve by understanding low point control, club-ground interaction, and the mental skills that create freedom on the course. The conversation also dives into putting, practice habits, anxiety, confidence, and why trying to control every technical detail can actually hold your game back.
If you want to stop getting in your own way, improve your focus, and learn how better players really think their way around a golf course, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
In this episode:
Lessons from the US Open and Wyndham Clark's approach
Why overthinking creates anxiety and poor performance
The difference between playing golf shots and chasing swing positions
How focus, awareness and acceptance improve performance
Why low point control is such a vital skill in golf
Better ways to practise putting and prepare to play under pressure
How tour players manage attention, composure and decision-making

In this fascinating episode of Mind Caddie, I speak with the internationally renowned golf coach, researcher and creator of The Stack System, Dr Sasho MacKenzie, to explore the science of putting performance and why so many golfers struggle to improve on the greens.
For years golfers have been told to focus on stroke path, strike location and mechanics. But what if those factors aren't nearly as important as we think?

• Why pace control is the biggest opportunity for lower scores

Could your golf grip size be the hidden factor affecting your consistency, accuracy, and club speed? Lees meer
In this episode of The Mind Caddie, I sit down with John Mazzanoble, CEO of JumboMax Grips, to explore one of the most overlooked areas of golf performance: grip size.
Most golfers spend hours working on their swing mechanics, yet the grip is the only point of contact between you and the club. So why is grip fitting often ignored?

We also discuss:
• Why Bryson DeChambeau chose JumboMax grips
• The relationship between grip size and shot dispersion
• Whether thicker grips really cause a slice (or if that's a myth)
• How grip weight affects club balance and feel
• The role of counterbalancing in modern golf equipment
• Why most sports use larger, uniform grips while golf remains different
• How grip size can affect club speed and tension levels
• The benefits of non-tapered golf grips
• The importance of proper grip fitting
• How the JumboMax app uses AI to help golfers find the right grip sizeIf you're searching for more consistency, better ball striking, and improved golf performance, this conversation may challenge everything you thought you knew about golf grips.

Today on the Mind Caddie, I'm joined by the hosts of the hugely popular golf podcast How Low Can You Go? — David Alexander and Chris Donaldson. Lees meer
I first met David and Chris at the Mind Caddie seminar at Murrayfield Golf Club, hosted by Jonnie Cliff, and it was immediately clear these two golfers were on a journey.
Like so many club golfers, they simply wanted to answer one question:
How good can I actually become?
That commitment to improvement, curiosity, and honest self-reflection became the foundation of their now fast-growing podcast How Low Can You Go?
They previously invited me onto their show, so it was great to return the favour and dive deeper into the realities of golf improvement, performance psychology, expectations, and resilience.
This episode will resonate with every golfer trying to lower their handicap, manage frustration on the course, and enjoy the process of getting better.
In this conversation we discuss:
Why the real prize in golf is often the journey, not the score
Managing expectations and avoiding the comparison trap
Why you must learn to trust and research your own experience
Golf as a powerful tool for character building and personal growth
The "1-2-3 System" for handling poor shots and difficult outcomes
How Dave rebuilt his confidence after hitting rock bottom
The emotional ups and downs every amateur golfer experiences
Mindset strategies for club golfers wanting long-term improvement
This is a warm, honest, funny and insightful discussion with two passionate golfers whose story many of you will instantly relate to.

How Music & Rhythm Could Unlock Your Best Golf Swing – Chia Chou #409
15 mei 2026 · 48 min
On this episode of the Mind Caddie, I speak with internationally renowned pianist, professor and co-creator of the Audio Golf System, Chia Chou. Lees meer
At just 17 years old, Chia faced the challenge of competing with elite pianists despite limited natural talent and formal training. Within four years, he developed a revolutionary approach to learning and performance that helped him win a major international piano competition by the age of 21 and later become a professor at a prestigious Austrian music university.
Now, Chia is applying those same principles to golf performance through rhythm, tempo and sound.
In this fascinating conversation, we explore:
How rhythm and tempo influence the golf swing
Why your brain may perform better with an "unrelated focus"
The connection between music, movement and athletic performance
The science of sonification in golf training
What your mind should actually focus on during the swing
Why golfers often perform better when they stop consciously trying to control movement
How sound and audio cues can help stabilise tempo and improve strike quality
I've always been fascinated by what occupies the mind during the 1.4 seconds of a golf swing. This episode explores whether focusing on an audio phrase rather than technical mechanics could unlock more natural, instinctive performance.

Being able to Deal with WHATEVER the game of golf and life throws at us – Jim Waldron #398

Can a Rite of Passage End Modern Psychological Suffering in Golf? | Golf Psychology & The Mental Game Lees meer
Why do so many golfers struggle with fear, frustration and emotional suffering on the course?
In this powerful episode of The Mind Caddie, I'm joined by renowned golf coach and deep thinker Jim Waldron for a fascinating conversation about golf psychology, ego, performance pressure and the concept of the rite of passage.
For most of human history, societies marked the transition from child to adult with a rite of passage — a psychological shift from ego-driven identity to mature responsibility. Today, that structure has largely disappeared. Are many of us trying to play golf — and live life — with a childlike ego in an adult world?
We explore how this unresolved psychological development fuels fear of failure, score protection, shame, and emotional reactivity on the golf course.
In this episode, we dive into:
Why golfers experience so much fear and anxiety under pressure
How protecting your score increases suffering
The hidden power of willingly experiencing shame and humiliation
"Whatever we resist, we strengthen" — and how this applies to golf performance
The principle of impermanence and why embracing it transforms your mindset
The Buddhist concept of the Second Arrow — responding instead of reacting to setbacks
Why letting go of outcome control creates freedom and better performance
The real and immediate psychological consequences in professional golf
What your golf — and your life — could look like after a true psychological rite of passage
This is a deep, thought-provoking conversation about emotional resilience, mental toughness, spiritual growth, and what it really means to "grow up" psychologically in sport.
If you're serious about improving your mental game in golf — and reducing unnecessary suffering on the course — grab your notebook. This episode may change how you see performance forever.

Mental Resilience: Tools for a Stronger Mind | Matt Caldaroni #394
30 januari 2026 · 52 min
In today's unpredictable and high-pressure world, mental resilience is no longer optional — it's a vital life skill. Lees meer
In sport, especially golf, resilience is what separates good players from great ones. Bad shots, missed putts, poor rounds and stalled progress are inevitable. The difference is how you respond.
On this episode of The Mind Caddie, we're joined by Matt Caldaroni, a performance coach specialising in mental resilience, mindset, and elite performance.
Matt's journey into resilience began early. At just twelve years old, a coach tried to end his dream of becoming a professional football goalkeeper, telling him the sport "wasn't for him." Instead of quitting, Matt took control. From that moment, Molliteum was born — a mindset built on ownership, grit, and mental strength.
By weaponising adversity, Matt earned a football scholarship at seventeen and turned professional in Italy by nineteen. It was there he discovered a powerful truth: resilience isn't visible — but it can save careers, performances, and lives.
Whether it's sport, work, or everyday life, setbacks are unavoidable:
We miss the shot
We don't make the birdie
We finish down the leaderboard
Progress stalls
Resilience isn't about avoiding failure — it's about how you deal with it.
In this episode, Matt breaks down how to train resilience like a muscle and apply it on and off the course.
In this episode, we cover:
The four cornerstones of mental resilience
How to build a strong resilient identity
Practical steps to developing mental toughness
Training a resilient mind and body
Why resilience is the hidden advantage in sport and life
If you want to improve your mindset, performance, and ability to bounce back stronger, this episode is for you.

The MAGIC of just OBSERVING your BREATHING – JS Legare #393
23 januari 2026 · 48 min
And how it could make a huge difference to the clarity, composure and timing in your game Lees meer
Today we are joined on the show by the outstanding Canadian coach JS Legare
JS is a certified Mind Factor coach but also an expert on BREATHWORK
We had a fascinating conversation about how we can become more aware of the impact of our breathing on our physiology
When our breathing is poor our access to our skills is compromised
Just merely OBSERVING the breath can be a profoundly beneficial exercise
We can down regulate our nervous system simply by observing our breath
Think of the opportunities golf can provide to explore the impact that breath focus can have on your game
The ability to RESPOND instead of REACT
Breathing, the low hanging fruit to develop a better mindset on the golf course. Everyone has that tool, but not a lot of people know how to use it. It's free, it's always available and the effects are instantaneous. There's nothing "woowoo" about observing your breath. It's the first step and it's a skill, plain and simple.

The Secrets to Transferring your range game to the Golf Course – Will Wu and John Dunigan #391
9 januari 2026 · 56 min
Today on the Mind Caddie we welcome two great guests in the shape of motor learning experts Will Wu and John Dunigan who have created a wonderful app called 'Practice Coach' Lees meer
We had a fascinating discussion about all things practice and why so many golfers don't transfer their range game to the actual golf course
Almost a universal issue with players is they DO NOT transfer their skills
The route to swing changes
WHY are you trying to make a swing change?
First of all can you MOVE better?
Who are you as a PLAYER?
What are you ACTUALLY thinking about and focusing on when you try to make changes
Internal focus and External focus and how they affect the Mind Body connection
The stroke/swing is NOT the SKILL
Go outside what you are doing. Go too high, too low, just right
Our nervous system is information SEEKING and needs COMPARISON
Higher quality REPS
Enriching the experience of practice
Understanding and FEELING the club. Being aware of where it is in space
A wonderful session with two GREAT and accomplished coaches

26 december 2025 · 1 uur 18 min
Today on the Brain Booster we welcome back a wonderful guest in Dicken Bettinger. Lees meer
Dicken completely changed his approach to psychology after meeting Syd Banks and understanding the 'Three Principles'
He then spent over twenty years studying with Syd and is now acknowledged as one of the world's leading teachers of the principles.
During a very wide ranging conversation we discussed the ideas of Mind, Consciousness and Thought
How we spend so much time trying to 'control' things with the intellect
Trying harder
Thinking more
Being so involved with our thoughts
Trying to 'change' our experience
Why the intellect alone cannot solve our problems and issues
Understanding what WISDOM is and how we can learn to trust it more
A deeper intelligence when we are fully PRESENT
A quiet mind that is FULLY PRESENT
A KNOWING that cannot be explained
How to access true WISDOM
How the intellect creates tension and upset
The limitations of trying to 'think' positive
No human being can 'think' their way to contentment
The 'NO THOUGHT' state
What is it?
How is it accessed
A really wonderful conversation with Dicken to get you to consider just how much our intellect is trying to run the show.
There is another way and Dicken explains beautifully what it is.

GOLF - The Preciousness of Each Round– Andrew Murray #387
12 december 2025 · 46 min
Today on the show I welcome back my great friend and colleague Andrew Murray who I have known for over 30 years. Lees meer
It is also a poignant podcast as we pay tribute to the passing of one of both our friends Denis Durnian who was a terrific player on the European Tour and still holds jointly the incredible record of the lowest 9 hole score in ANY major when he shot an incredible 28 on the front 9 at Royal Birkdale in the 1983 Open
He was one of the last of a unique golfer who managed to combine being a club pro with a successful career on the European Tour.
With our conversation we hark back to a different time of golf but a wonderful time nevertheless.
Andrew played many times with the great Severiano Ballesteros and he shares with us some wonderful stories about the charisma and genius of the late great and sadly missed Spanish player.
The great Sandy Lyle and why he should have been Ryder Cup captain
The evolution of golf coaching on the European Tour, the early days of star coaches such as David Leadbetter and Bob Torrance
How coaching worked very successfully for some players but a disaster for others
In our discussion we reinforced the need for Gratitude and Appreciation as a cornerstone of a golfing philosophy
The very sad loss of Denis Durnian only reinforces how precious each round of golf actually is.
