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.

What can we all learn from Rory’s experience? #359
It was a tournament like no other with incredible drama that put is all through a rollercoaster of emotions as Rory secured the Green Jacket and became a member of that most exclusive club of golf’s Grand Slam winners. Yet in the euphoria of the win and the endless post tournament analysis did we all miss something in terms of Rory’s response to the win on the final green? Top coach and good friend of the show Garret Kramer thinks so In this fascinating conversation we go a good bit deeper than what may or may not have been happening on the surface Among many other things we discuss: What was REALLY going on in that last round at Augusta? What can we all learn from Rory’s experience? The reaction to the winning putt The outpouring of relief as opposed to joy The nature of SEEKING and what it does to performance Seeking identity and worthiness through objects in the materialistic world When we stop seeking we experience relief The seemingly impossible variation in the shots Rory played in the final round The nature of LETTING GO How letting go affects our physical movement The ‘veiling of consciousness’ when we seek outside validation Why the ‘pot of gold’ isn’t worth as much as we think it is Finding out what is truly important to us To find out more about Garret Kramer go to To Join Marcus Bell and Karl Morris for two wonderful days at West Herts Golf Club for the GRF schools June 12th and 13th Take action and click on this link To get on board with the Mind Caddie and join us on the journey go to OFFICIAL BRAND AMBASSADOR : Fenix Apparel and Accessories Co.

Why practice needs to be FUN and the MAGIC of the Low Point– Andreas Kali #353
On today’s show we have a special coach in the shape of Denmark’s Andreas Kali who has overseen the development of numerous top players in Denmark. Due to his incredible results with so many players he has become one of the hottest coaches in golf We had a really wonderful conversation about the philosophy behind the success he has been getting in Denmark In particular about the development of the players a people not just golfers The need to create an environment of fun and learning in practice. Not just fun in the conventional sense but the fun of being REALLY engaged in the training you are doing Andreas talked about some of the setback he encountered as a player and how he wants to help his own players short circuit that learning He talked about the THREE CORE elements that drive all of his lessons and the training environments Does this get the ball CLOSER to the target Does this PREVENT injury Does this enhance the LOVE of the game If your coaching is not addressing those needs then is it REALLY making a difference? We talked about LOW POINT in the swing and how this simple focus of attention can make such a huge difference to most golfers enjoyment of the game but also their performance Keeping players in the game for longer Not everyone is going to be a champion but can we keep players engaged in a way that doesn’t threaten their identity as a human being You will find this conversation fascinating and you will begin to see why Andreas has been so incredibly successful with so many young players To find out more about Andreas Kali go to To start your FREE Mind Caddie 7 day trial go to To book your Mind Caddie workshop at your club go to To book your place on the ‘Lost Art of Golf’ school get in touch at OFFICIAL BRAND AMBASSADOR : Fenix Apparel and Accessories Co.

The Big Picture of Mind Coaching – Jim Waldron #352
What will ACTUALLY make a difference to your golf and life Today on the Mind Caddie we welcome back my good friend and colleague Jim Waldron. This is a recording of a live presentation Jim gave to the Mind Factor coaches Jim is an outstanding coach with an absolute wealth of experience. This seminar is for the really dedicated coach or player. There are some challenging concepts in here that have the potential to make a really BIG difference to your game and indeed your life. In the session we talked about: The dangers of spending TOO much time in your own internal world. Becoming too absorbed in your own thoughts. The opportunity in golf to develop the skills of going EXTERNAL. In between shots having the capability to go to your SENSORY experience. What can you SEE, HEAR or FEEL? Having the DISTINCTION between the TWO WORLDS of INTERNAL and EXTERNAL What focused attention actually is The absolute ‘rules of the road’ with swing changes The need for slow motion swings and FEELING the extremes either side of correct Why information alone will never create swing changes What is the correct ‘dose’ of practice Making the movement patterns UNCONSCIOUS The difference between working on the swing and PERFORMING the swing on the course The need to develop a FOCAL POINT on the course Developing a ‘basket’ of focal points to take out onto the course Developing the ‘Let’s SEE what HAPPENS’ mindset What is the essential nature of the unconscious mind? The ‘watchdog’ of the unconscious mind. Why the unconscious mind often ‘believes’ a yip is actually helping The opportunity to ‘sit’ in the presence of a great coach interacting with other coaches and developing so many key concepts and ideas To find out more about Jim Waldron and his great work go to To start your FREE Mind Caddie 7 day trial go to To book your Mind Caddie workshop at your club go to To book your place on the ‘Lost Art of Golf’ school get in touch at OFFICIAL BRAND AMBASSADOR : Fenix Apparel and Accessories Co.

Deepening your level of ACCEPTANCE – Raymond Prior PhD #350
The ultimate mental game skill Today on the Mind Caddie we welcome back my good friend and colleague Dr Raymond Prior. Raymond is one of the top performance consultants in the world. He works with some of the very best golfers in the world on the PGA Tour as well as athletes from many other sports and also actors and entertainers. He is the author of a wonderful book ‘Golf Beneath the surface’ We also co contributed to a great program called: ‘Stable Confidence’ The foundations of stable confidence are a willingness to accept ALL and EVERY possible outcome you may face in a round or in a tournament. In today’s conversation we deepen the understanding of developing the skill of ACCEPTANCE We discuss what acceptance is and perhaps more importantly what it isn’t. It is not giving up or resignation It is not being ‘happy’ with poor outcomes It is not feeling comfortable all the time It is a willingness to embrace the REALITY of the game Why your brain is ‘primed’ to focus on avoidance Your brain doesn’t care about golf it cares about SURVIVAL How can we begin to work with and understand this? How can we actually develop acceptance skills? Yoga and cold water, what is the link? Why being in a state of pursuit is so important What is the flow state actually like? This conversation WILL really make a difference to your game. It is a wonderful discussion about the crucial skill of ACCEPTANCE To find out more about Raymond Prior go to To start your FREE Mind Caddie 7 day trial go to To book your Mind Caddie workshop at your club go to To book your place on the ‘Lost Art of Golf’ school get in touch at OFFICIAL BRAND AMBASSADOR : Fenix Apparel and Accessories Co.

Pain and your Brain – Jim Prussack #344
A potential way back to playing with less pain On today’s Mind Caddie we go in a slightly different direction but nevertheless one that I am sure will apply to so many people. PAIN!! A lot of us are playing golf in some form of pain or other It may be acute pain or chronic pain Chronic pain is at epidemic proportions If you have had pain for over 6 months it is now a chronic issue And as todays guest ‘The Pain PT’ Jim Prussack explains it is not as simple and as straightforward as we may believe. All pain is generated by the brain which doesn’t mean that the ‘pain is in your head’ It is real and it hurts But as Jim wonderfully explains when you understand the role of the brain in pain you can go in a different direction. Much pain is a result of the brains PERCEPTION Feeling of threat When we reduce the threat we reduce the pain reaction So much of this ties in with what we have explored on the Mind Caddie about the perception of threat and performance You will find this interview fascinating and it may just give you some hope of different way to approach your pain To find out about Jim’s work go to To start your FREE Mind Caddie 7 day trial go to To book your Mind Caddie workshop at your club go to
