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.

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.

If you enjoy conversations around golf psychology, golf improvement, mental performance, and the realities of amateur golf, this episode is for you.
