Today we are joined on the Mind Caddie with my good friend and top coach Randy Joyner.

Randy is one of the very best coaches in the USA

His record with junior and college players is outstanding

We talk often about the game of golf but I wanted to invite him on to get an American perspective on what happened over those 3 Ryder Cup days in New York state at Bethpage Black

His insights will really get you to think deeply about your own game and the direction you can take it this winter

We discussed:

• The role of captaincy and how Keegan Bradley may have had his hands tied by the USPGA
• The thinking behind course set up
• What IS effective preparation for TEAM GOLF
• What was REALLY going on with the crowd?
• The ability to RESET focus of attention even in the most trying of situations.
• How the role of PURSUIT and AVOIDANCE played a role in the way each team performed
• We then look at what YOU could do this winter to really make a difference to your game
• The MAGIC of LOW POINT control

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!

They also have a Speed & Power gym based programme that is proving to be a huge success, as well as The Junior Foundations programme which is ideal for giving young golfers the athletic foundations that they will need now and in the future.

We are delighted offer you a special Mind Caddy discount code so you can become your best not only on the course but off it as well!

Today on the Mind Caddie we are joined by a great guest in the shape of Trevor Jones.

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. Once size doesn’t fit all one size fits NONE

You will gain so much from this very enlightening conversation

The way to really make a difference in your scoring in the next 12 months.

Don’t waste any more of your time chipping incorrectly

Today on the show we welcome back my very good friend and colleague Jim Waldron to help you get a really clear view on the short game.

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

Why do we have such difficulties in focusing our ATTENTION ?

Today on the Mind Caddie we have a brilliant guest Dr Josephine Perry a highly regarded and respected Sports Psychologist and the author of a wonderful book
‘ADHD in Sport : Strategies for Success’

We had a wonderful conversation about this very misunderstood condition and how a deeper understanding can help both the player and coach

Josephine has some brilliant strategies to consider:

The vital importance of sleep

Better sleep strategies

Why you need to know your circadian rhythms

The ingredients of great sleep

The importance of allocating ‘energy’ not just time

Understand your ‘threat response’

Randy is a TOP coach who keeps producing outstanding results with players at all levels but especially young college and aspiring tour players

We also spent time talking about his work on the PGA tour as a broadcast analyst and how he has been following some of the best players in the world in the final rounds on a Sunday.

Some fantastic insights about the final round that Rory played in the Masters this year and what we can all learn from that experience. Also, we look closely at Randy‘s observation of Scottie Scheffler and how he manages to keep the game simple by being very aware of what is clubface is doing during the swing, and having the capacity to adjust when required,

This is a podcast with somebody who has an incredible depth and breadth of knowledge about the game, both as a player, coach and broadcaster

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

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.

• Are we teaching the swing or the individual?
• 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

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

Today on the show we have former PGA Tour player Gary Christian who has had a remarkable career as a player, broadcaster and now author of a wonderful book called
‘Beat the golf course not yourself’

During out time together Gary went into some phenomenal detail about how his career as a player turned around when he seriously began to work on and explore the mental game
It is inspirational how he explored for him key areas such as visualisation and how this gave him the capacity to get the very best out of his obvious talent

The conversation very much looks at how when you have developed some skills how you can then access those skills on the course itself

As a result of working on his mental game Gary became one of the oldest rookies in PGA Tour history

Truly inspirational for us all

As Gary says most golfers do not have the time to make major swing changes but they COULD explore the mental game to get the very best from their experience
Enjoy the show.

Could you look at the game from a different perspective?

Today we welcome back a very great friend and colleague Kendal Mcwade from Instinctive Golf

Kendal has had a huge impact on my own coaching as well as many other players and coaches.

He has been a pioneer in exploring the nature of learning

We had the chance to look deeply into the nature of learning and how we try to develop in the game of golf

• How can we deepen awareness?
• Hitting objects with tools – natural motion
• What is the nature of deep learning?
• Have we lost a deep connection to how we use and utilise tools?
• What innate capabilities have we hidden from view?
• The joy of ‘messing around’ and creating shots
• Keeping the brain FULLY engaged
• Deliberate shanks, deliberate toe shots
• Deliberate tops
• Hitting drivers of grip length tees
• Exploring what the club can actually do
• Hitting the ‘Bomb Draw’
• The golfing hammer

Just a wonderful conversation with a very deep thinker about the game who has influenced so many players and coaches

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

 

1. Does this get the ball CLOSER to the target
2. Does this PREVENT injury
3. 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

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

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

The human connection in coaching and the need for a balance between technology and human skills

The need for a coach to get out on the course and actually SEE the player in the true environment as opposed to just on the range

How on course coaching can reveal so much about a player and how rewarding it is to have true breakthrough

Fantastic to welcome back on the podcast my good friends Piers Ward and Andy Proudman from Me and My Golf.

They have both been pioneers in the online coaching space but at their heart they are dedicated golf coaches primarily interested in helping players get better at the game by looking in a holistic way at performance.

We had the opportunity to discuss the new life the boys have created in San Diego

The different levels of commitment from player to player

The evolution of online coaching and how we need to move in the direction of actually showing improving golfers in a lesson situation

Less about what the coach knows and more about the students experience

The benefits of working as a partnership challenging each other

• Working with top players such as Arron Rai
• How to get players to improve rapidly and the need to really LISTEN to the person in front of you
• Tuning into a players individual learning styles
• Clubface first and then body pivot
• Asking the student what THEY think is going to happen in the lesson
• Deconstructing how you coach. What makes you unique as a coach?

CIA

Clarity, Improvement and Autonomy

A really interesting session with two TOP coaches at the top of their game

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

Today on the podcast we are joined by author and coach Cameron Strachan who has written the provocatively titled book ‘How to Unf__k your Golf Swing’

He has made it his life’s work to demystify the golf swing and get players away from too much technical thinking

It may not be for everyone but for many it will be a refreshing departure from the barrage of technical positions and theory

How can we make learning the golf swing much simpler? This question has driven Cameron in his quest for years

How can we give golfers the smallest amount of information that has the biggest effect?

• The technical overload we are all suffering from
• Why the default is to seek out more information
• We are designed to use tools skilfully yet we often ignore that fact
• The biomechanical research on efficient movement
• What if the game was just like making an underarm throw?
• Would you feel capable of doing that?
• How much would that simplify things?
• Make a throwing motion with the club
• How simplification increases feel

As we discussed Cameron firmly believes that the game of golf COULD be as simple as throwing a ball

If the game becomes more simple then you are free to focus on other things like the golf course and actually enjoying your experience

During this time he has been part of the development of so many great players

In this episode, Karl hosts renowned golf coach Gareth McShea. They reminisce about their early days and delve into McShea's journey from aspiring tour golfer to a leading figure in golf coaching.

The discussion highlights McShea's methodology, including his pivotal shift influenced by Dan Millman's 'Body Mind Mastery' and how focusing on the mental and emotional game can enhance physical performance. 

Gareth also elaborates on Aim Point, an innovative approach to green reading that eliminates guesswork and improves putting accuracy. He underscores the importance of making intentional mistakes during training to grasp core skills, and cautions on the balanced use of technology in coaching. This episode is rich with insights on improving both the mental and technical facets of golf.

Aim Point has the capacity to take away so much of the mystery to reading greens.

This is essential listening.
