Why Pressure Separates the Range From the Course

Karl Morris rejoins the show to discuss his new book, The Mind Caddie, and practical ways golfers can simplify the mental game and access more of the skill they already have. Karl explains why attention is such a powerful performance tool, how the time between shots can shape an entire round, and why golfers often make things worse by resisting bad shots, slow play, nerves, and other parts of the game they can’t fully control. They also explore Karl’s “ones, twos, and threes” framework for accepting the full range of shots you’ll hit, along with simple ways to use your senses, perspective, and humor to reduce the feeling of threat on the course.
