Today on the Mind Caddie we are joined again by my great friend from the USA Randy Joyner Randy is a TOP coach who keeps producing outstanding results with players at all levels but especially young college and aspiring tour players  He is a Certified Mind Factor coach and has been kind enough to say that the work we have done over the years has had a big influence on his game and his coaching  He has won 2 Pro Ams recently with sub 65 scores without ANY practice whatsoever  We go into detail about that  We also dive very deep into the skill of acceptance and why it is a capacity that is so important to keep working on and developing. 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  Enjoy your time with Randy Joyner.

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 https://www.mindcaddie.golf/ OFFICIAL BRAND AMBASSADOR : Fenix Apparel and Accessories Co.

Today we have a really special show with two good friends and outstanding coaches Jim Waldron and Justin Tang We had a wonderful conversation about the current CULTURE of golf instruction and what it is ACTUALLY doing for our game. The resulting conversation was outstanding: What are the BELIEFS that need to be challenged to move forward ? The mistake we make in thinking that movement can be changed easily The commitment and dedication required A ‘path of mastery’ approach The language of ‘easy and simple’ and why that is so limiting to make changes The over technical approach and why it holds so many people back 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 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?

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 https://www.garretkramer.com/ 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 https://bg6ot.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/SMK1E8tHeG13EwyIU7dDcOCotXBW/o_3ucfYmTEr7 To get on board with the Mind Caddie and join us on the journey go to https://www.mindcaddie.golf/ OFFICIAL BRAND AMBASSADOR : Fenix Apparel and Accessories Co.
