jeudi 18 septembre 2025 • Durée 23:39
6 weeks into the 6-month handicap challenge - Dave's flying, while Chris is falling apart!
Dave nearly aces a par 3 and looks set for single figures — but admits he can’t find the time to post scores with family life getting in the way. Meanwhile, Chris’s once-reliable low-single digit game completely collapses: pull-hooks, putting nightmares, and his brutal confession… “This podcast might actually be making me worse.”
This episode has it all:

• Chris questioning if his dream of scratch is already slipping away

👉 Subscribe now so you don’t miss a moment of this rollercoaster golf improvement journey.
Four weeks into our 6-month golf handicap challenge… and instead of improving, our handicaps are going the wrong way. Dave has slipped back to 16.1, while Chris — the single-figure golfer chasing scratch — has crept up to 2.6.
Are we failing before we’ve even begun?
In this episode:
Chris fires back after the backlash about what really makes a good golfer
We put last week’s so-called “improvement plan” under the microscope
We relive the highs, lows, and turning points from our trip to Scotland’s Golf Coast
This is the make-or-break week. If things don’t change now, the entire challenge could collapse.

How Low Can You Go? | Bad Rounds, ‘Know Thyself’ & Analysing Your Golf Game
Saison 1 · Épisode 2
vendredi 8 août 2025 • Durée 37:49
Season 1 | Episode 2
In Episode 2 of How Low Can You Go? our 6-month golf improvement challenge takes a reality check — we both have bad rounds - very bad rounds. But instead of hiding from the scorecard, we ask an important question: How should golfers analyse their rounds, especially after a bad one?
If you want to lower your golf handicap, you first need to know exactly where your game is right now. As the saying goes: Know Thyself.
We break down our poor performances and share practical methods for analysing a golf round effectively, including The Tiger 5 — the same checklist used by Tiger Woods — and other tools that help you spot patterns, weaknesses, and missed opportunities.
By the end of this episode, we have a clearer picture of what’s holding us back and are ready to make a plan to fix it — all while the clock ticks on our 6-month race to reach scratch (Chris) and single digits (Dave).

⛳ In this episode you’ll learn: •Why bad rounds can be the best for your improvement •How to track your stats and spot trends •The Tiger 5 — a simple system for analysing your round •How to turn weaknesses into a focused practice plan

Our Golf Season Has Collapsed! Can a Winter Reset Save Our Handicaps? (Ep. 9)
Saison 1 · Épisode 9
vendredi 12 décembre 2025 • Durée 30:39
Our golf season is officially over — and it didn’t end well. No more cards, handicaps stuck, and winter closing in.
Now Dave and Chris face the off-season question every golfer asks:
How do you actually get better at golf during winter?
🎯 In this episode we explore:
winter practice that genuinely improves your handicap
realistic off-season training plans
rebuilding confidence after a tough season
the mindset needed when your progress completely stalls
Dave also breaks down his trip to Rosapenna — and whether Jonnie Cliff, PGA Teaching Pro, saved him from the dreaded boiler suits. Did he deliver… or is Dave just one fitting away from a full hazmat golf outfit?
If you’re looking for winter-golf improvement, cold-weather practice strategies, and honest chat about the grind of trying to get better, this one’s for you.
Karl Morris – Part One: The Skill Golfers Never Train (And Why They Stay Stuck)
Saison 2 · Épisode 1
jeudi 8 janvier 2026 • Durée 41:09
What if the biggest thing holding your golf back… isn’t your swing?
Part One (Season 2, Episode 1)
Season 2 of How Low Can You Go? starts with a question that challenges everything club golfers think they know about improvement.
We’re joined by Karl Morris, one of the world’s leading golf mental and performance coaches, who has worked with some of the best players in the game — including Major champions Louis Oosthuizen, Graeme McDowell, and Darren Clarke.
Many times on this podcast, we’ve quoted Karl’s books, referenced his ideas, and championed his work. So having him join us to open Season 2 feels like a defining moment for the show.
In this episode, Karl explains why:
Anyone who says golf is all about the swing is wrong
Anyone who says it’s all in the mind is also wrong
Real improvement lives in the mind–body connection
We explore why so many golfers work incredibly hard… yet stay stuck:
The crucial difference between developing skills and accessing skills
Why golfers often lose access to shots they know they can hit
How the brain can see the golf course as a place of threat, not opportunity
Why acceptance may be the single most important mental skill in golf
And a simple but powerful method Karl uses to help players “pre-load” acceptance before they even tee it up
This is not about giving up.
It’s not about lowering standards.
It’s about embracing the reality of the game — and finally unlocking better performance.
🎧 Part Two dives deeper into stories, identity, gratitude, and how changing the way you think about golf could change your results faster than another range session ever will.
We’re delighted to be supporting Karl’s Mind Factor Online Certification, where his life’s work in golf performance, mindset and skill-access is brought together in one in-depth programme for golfers and coaches.
