The No B.S. Guide to Buying a Better Golf Swing – Lawrie Montague #390
Exposing why golf lessons fail and the smarter path to real, lasting improvement Today we spend time with top coach Lawrie Montague from Australia to discuss his wonderful book The No B.S. Guide to Buying a Better Golf Swing We had a wonderful conversation about Lawrie’s views on coaching Why so many people are trying to learn swing as opposed to learning how to PLAY golf How the marketing machine for golf swing has overtaken the student’s real NEEDS How data is often just focused on past history and doesn’t open to the possibilities of the future Focusing more on the POTENTIAL future Finding out what a player REALLY wants Why the student is not to blame when learning is not happening What is getting in the way of learning The importance of clarity in GOAL SETTING Generating student led questions Why students are being taught not coached Seeing your golf clubs as TOOLS to use. Solving the problems the golf course presents to you A really informative session with a top coach who has made such a valuable contribution to the game To become a Certified Mind Factor coach go to To join us on the Mind Caddie journey go to Shop with code : at checkout for 10% OFF your next order at @fenixxcell

The ‘No Thought’ State Why your intellect could be holding you back - Dicken Bettinger #389
Today on the Brain Booster we welcome back a wonderful guest in Dicken Bettinger. 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
Today on the show I welcome back my great friend and colleague Andrew Murray who I have known for over 30 years. 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.

A journey back to health and fitness – Josh Leyes Par4Success #381
Today on the show we have a personal story of my own attempt to get back to health and fitness. After pretty much living in a gym for the past 30 or so years I had major surgery and then complications which stopped me training or playing for over 3 years With the help of Josh Leyes at Par4Success I have managed slowly to coax my body back into training. Even to be back in the gym at all feels like a major victory I couldn’t have done any of it without the help of the guys at Par4Success They are without doubt the best I have come across in terms of fitness and conditioning in the past 30 years It was great to get Josh on the show We discussed: The importance of taking the 4 Rotary Tests Why data gives you an inspiring goal to aim at Why functional rotation is so important How speed training alone can be dangerous for your body Are you an injury waiting to happen? The joy of being able to move better The role of the mind in effective training A really great session with a top trainer who has helped me so much I cannot overemphasise how important it is to take the ROTATIONAL TEST Take action on what Josh suggests in todays show Realise just how precious your body is Don’t waste the opportunity To join us on the Mind Caddie journey go to Shop with code : at checkout for 10% OFF your next order at @fenixxcell

Is your THINKING destroying your GAME? – Dr Chris Niebauer #380
The problem with thinking so much and more importantly BELIEVING those thoughts Today on the Mind Caddie we have a really special guest in the shape of Dr Chris Niebauer author of the incredible books ‘No Self No Problem’ and ‘The No Self No Problem Workbook’ Chris’s work has been a really big influence on my thinking over recent times. He paints a wonderful picture of what Golf and Life could be if we began to have a different relationship to our thinking mind. If we could understand what our thinking mind is actually up to. We wouldn’t take it so seriously. We wouldn’t try to control our experience as much We discuss Left Brain – Right Brain theories and how important it is to understand the differences and how it can potentially help your life The importance of the book ‘The Master and his Emissary’ The ‘voice in the head’ and why we don’t have to take it so seriously The constant creation of stories created by the Left Brain Ways to GROUND yourself in the present Why when the mind puts effort in one direction there is a pushback in another direction We cannot use thinking to stop us thinking !! Could thought itself be the problem? Some really fascinating insights about our mind and how it actually works.

How we can ‘Battle Back’ from adversity – Mark Shervill #377
On today’s show we have a wonderful conversation with Mark Shervill a tremendous coach from the hidden gem that is Lilleshall Golf Club in Shropshire I have known Mark for very many years We first met when he was a PGA Trainee at The Belfry over twenty years ago. Since then he has spent time evolving himself into a really effective coach He spent many days with Nick Middleton from Zen Golf on the DP World Tour His approach is really holistic and embraces all aspects of the Body-Mind system He and his wife Lisa Shervill, a former Ladies European Tour professional run some fantastic programs at Lilleshall especially focused around junior development His enthusiasm is infectious Perhaps the work that gives Mark most pleasure though is his work with ex forces personel in the ‘Battle Back’ program Helping ex military men and women get back on track with their lives through the medium of golf. This is genuine contribution to the game and really makes you think about the sheer privilege we have just to be able to go out and play golf in a beautiful environment We discuss the importance of creating SHOTS and the sheer joy which can be gained in turning an image in your head to the reality of a beautifully struck shot Over 50 of Mark‘s pupils have now completed the Mobilise Your Swing Programme that Mark, Lisa and Aaron have created together combining physical, technical and mental aspects of golf with great results in all of these individuals from Junior to Senior Golfers. This great success has led them to form the Shervill Golf Performance website where you can access the Mobilise Your Swing programme for yourself to help your body make the best golf swings possible!

Trevor is a top Mental Performance coach who has done extensive research on the YIPS and more importantly has been finding ways to really make a difference to people who suffer from this debilitating issue. With a couple of esteemed colleagues he has put together a potentially revolutionary program We had a great discussion about Trevor’s own background, his own playing and what led him to have such an interest into the specific area of yips in golf and indeed in other sports How an individual lesson that didn’t work out well got Trevor thinking about a different approach to the yips What is causing more people to get the yips What is the mind actually trying to achieve with the yips? Is it technique or is it mental? The importance of the correct CONCEPTS Having a FLEXIBLE framework How more and more information can only cause more damage How RESISTING your experience is often the root of the issues The power of ACCEPTANCE and CURIOSITY Establishing ‘psychological safety’ Playing from a ‘safe place’ Stop trying to FEEL better and get better at FEELING What the ‘fear’ is really trying to do for us Being willing to ‘observe’ the yips The myth of the ‘perfect state’ How the individual is SACRED.

In this conversation we expose many of the myths and misconceptions around the short game and give you an excellent pathway to look forward to a better game around the greens. Jim has an absolute wealth of experience in all aspects of the game but over the past 40 years or so he has really specialized in the short game. This conversation shows that clearly. The big difference between the SHORT GAME swing and the POWER SWING and why you need to know the difference. Learning a new set of physical skills The crucial element of the pivot in the short game Why you don’t have time to ‘save’ the shot in the short game in the way you do in the long game The difference between CLASSICAL chipping and MODERN chipping The debate between STEEP and SHALLOW, using the leading edge or using the bounce What is the real truth and is it a combination of the two The law of forward shaft lean and the low point How to turn your skills into SHOTS Taking your short game skills to the course As ever with Jim this is a brilliant conversation full of absolute gems of great information It would be impossible to listen to this podcast and not have a better and more clear approach to your scoring shots To find out more about Jim Waldron go to To join us on the Mind Caddie journey to better golf go to Shop with code : at checkout for 10% OFF your next order at @fenixxcell

I will be happy when …… Karl Morris #363
On today’s show, we have a solo run touching on a subject, very dear to my heart, the concept of ‘I will be happy when’ How we all fall into the trap of putting off our enjoyment of life for for some perceived moment off in the future, when the stars will align everything will come together, and I will be happy ever after as a result of achieving X Y or Z. You can fill in the blanks that may be winning a major tournament. It may be winning the club championship or breaking 100 for the first time never mind creates the stories of perceived happiness off in the future, and it can be so destructive to her actual enjoyment of the game right now. Not only destructive. It actually creates a lot of tension in the system in extreme cases real fear and anxiety. Even the great Rory McIlroy seems to have fallen into the trap of this after winning the US Masters, and seemingly afterwards falling into some kind of malaise and unhappiness. He is human like the rest of us within this, but I feel there is a way out of this by really understanding the value of seen through the illusion and then falling in love with the idea of being on the path to mastery. Karl shares some key insights. How are you can embrace this philosophy to liberate your own game, and get so much closer to your true potential Enjoy this solo offering and don’t forget to give us a review wherever you get your Podcasts, why not subscribe or follow it's FREE To get on board with the Mind Caddie and join us on the journey go to OFFICIAL BRAND AMBASSADOR : Fenix Apparel and Accessories Co.

Bringing the Mental and Technical Game Together – Markus Westerberg #362
The Golfers SIXTH SENSE On today’s show, we have a brilliant conversation with top Swedish PGA professional Marcus Westerberg. Marcus is a good friend of the show I’ve been previously been on a couple of times in the past to discuss his work. He wrote an absolutely brilliant book called the ‘Golfers Sixth Sense.’ This book is about a deep understanding of the mind body connection in Golf and how it is foolish to try to separate the two. Marcus is a really deep thinker about the game, and he’s had some incredible success in Sweden with his coaching and is very highly regarded throughout the world. In the show we discuss the importance of having the correct concepts of impact understanding focus of attention, and perhaps, above anything else that needs to build a pre-shot routine that is unique to you as a golfer that delivers on a regular basis, the best of your capabilities We also go into detail about how Marcus has evolved as a coach with his deep dive into the science of motor learning and skill acquisition, and how you can get much more out of your practice sessions and training. If you fully understand the mind body synergy. Perhaps most importantly, we talk in depth about how a simple misconception about impact can have such a long-term and profound impact on your game in a detrimental way. Change your concepts change your game. Enjoy a great conversation with a great coach, Marcus Westerberg.

Everyone has a different NEUTRAL Are you a ‘Body Only’ coach? The myth of Mind Body dualism The ‘Mind Body’ connection and why it is so important The skill of focused ATTENTION The role of EMOTIONS The role of the mind body connection in MARTIAL ARTS The role of economics in traditional coaches – The wealth – power imbalance What is the future for GREAT coaching?
