 Why your practice routine is failing—and how to finally get it right.  Part 2 (Season 2, Episode 4) How Low Can You Go? In Part 2 of our conversation with Adam Young — co-host of The Sweet Spot and author of The Practice Manual — we go deep into how to practice smarter, not harder. Adam breaks down his DIRT system (Diagnose, Intervene, Refine, Transfer), explains why most golfers struggle to perform on the course despite hitting it perfectly on the range, and shows how randomized practice and spectrum drills can help you reduce big misses and truly transfer your skills under pressure. Whether you’re a mid-handicapper or just obsessed with improving, this episode is packed with practical frameworks, actionable drills, and game-changing insights that could transform your next practice session. 🎯 Key takeaways: Why block practice often fails to improve real-course performanceHow to diagnose what’s truly costing you strokesThe secret to transferring range success to the courseSpectrum drills to control big misses and refine feelInsights for both mid-handicappers and advanced playersIf you’re serious about getting better — this is your blueprint.

Why impact matters more than how your swing looks. Part One (Season 2, Episode 3) How Low Can You Go? In Part One of our conversation with Adam Young — co-host of The Sweet Spot and author of The Practice Manual — we explore why chasing perfect positions so often fails, and why great ball-striking comes down to something far simpler. Adam explains: Why wildly different swings can produce elite resultsThe Big Three impact factors every golfer must satisfyHow focusing on tasks and feedback beats mechanical fixesWhy “self-organising” movement leads to lasting improvementThe Golden Rule for fixing faults in real timeThis episode will challenge how you think about practice, technique, and what really matters when the club meets the ball. 🎧 Listen now and join the ride. 📺 YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@HowLowCanYouGoPodcast 📸 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/howlowcanyougopodcast/ 💌 Contact → [email protected] 🏨 Big shout out to The Leddie Hotel on Scotland’s Golf Coast.

Change Your Story. Change Your Golf. Part Two (Season 2, Episode 2) How Low Can You Go? In Part Two of our conversation with Karl Morris, we go deeper — into the stories golfers tell themselves, the identities they cling to, and why those narratives may be costing them far more shots than their swing ever could. If Part One challenged what you work on in your golf, Part Two challenges who you believe you are on the course. Karl Morris, one of the world’s leading golf mental and performance coaches, explains why most golfers aren’t limited by lack of ability - but by outdated stories they’ve unknowingly rehearsed for years. In this episode, we explore: Why “shouldism” (the belief that you should make birdies) quietly fuels big scoresWhy reducing doubles and triples matters far more than chasing birdiesThe powerful exercise Karl uses to help players rewrite their golfing identityHow awareness of your “old story” gives you the freedom to choose a new oneWhy gratitude isn’t soft thinking — but a genuine high-performance stateHow gratitude reduces threat in the brain and helps you access the skill you already haveKarl also shares one of the most moving stories you're likely to hear on a golf improvement podcast — The Tuesday Boys — a reminder that none of us get unlimited rounds, unlimited seasons, or unlimited chances. Every golfer eventually runs out of Tuesdays. Golf improvement isn’t about positive thinking. It isn’t about pretending bad shots don’t exist. And it’s definitely not about lowering your standards. It’s about changing your story — and changing your golf. 🎓 Mind Factor Certification – Listener Offer 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. 💷 £100 OFF with promo code HOWLOW 🔗 https://themindfactor.net/product/mind-factor-online-certification-course/ #golf #golfpodcast #golfmindset #mentalgame #karlmorris #mindcaddie #howlowcanyougo #clubgolfers #golfperformance #gratitude 🎧 Listen now and join the ride. 📺 YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@HowLowCanYouGoPodcast 📸 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/howlowcanyougopodcast/ 💌 Contact → [email protected] And a shoutout to The Leddie Hotel on Scotland’s Golf Coast!

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 wrongAnyone who says it’s all in the mind is also wrongReal improvement lives in the mind–body connectionWe explore why so many golfers work incredibly hard… yet stay stuck: The crucial difference between developing skills and accessing skillsWhy golfers often lose access to shots they know they can hitHow the brain can see the golf course as a place of threat, not opportunityWhy acceptance may be the single most important mental skill in golfAnd a simple but powerful method Karl uses to help players “pre-load” acceptance before they even tee it upThis 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.  #golf #golfpodcast #golfimprovement #golfmentalgame #mentalgame #karlmorris #mindcaddie #howlowcanyougo #clubgolfers #golfmindset  🎓 Mind Factor Certification – Listener Offer 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. 💷 £100 OFF with promo code HOWLOW 🔗 https://themindfactor.net/product/mind-factor-online-certification-course/ 🎧 Listen now and join the ride. 📺 YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@HowLowCanYouGoPodcast 📸 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/howlowcanyougopodcast/ Training 'Acceptance' - Karl Morris short https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTLtZb3Ddof/?igsh=OGtnOXo2bWd0eTJt 💌 Contact → [email protected] And a shoutout to The Leddie Hotel on Scotland’s Golf Coast!

Last time, award-winning Scottish PGA Teaching Pro Jonnie Cliff took a hard look at Dave’s game — and didn’t hold back. Now in Part 2, Jonnie dives deeper into what it really takes to make lasting improvement. Forget aimless range sessions. Forget quick fixes.

From the truth about how to train effectively to the golf myths that hold players back, this conversation could be the turning point in Dave’s journey to single figures. And as for that cliffhanger from the end of Part One… what would Jonnie whisper in Dave’s ear standing on the 18th tee, needing par to finally break 80? Let’s find out. 🎯 In this episode: How to practice with intent and actually get betterThe golf myth Jonnie would ban foreverThe best drill to guarantee real improvementBuilding mental resilience under pressureThe journey continues — but the clock is ticking. 🎧 Listen now and join the ride: 📺 YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@HowLowCanYouGoPodcast 📸 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/howlowcanyougopodcast/ 💌 Contact → [email protected] Huge thanks to Remedy Drinks — get 20% off the Rainbow Pack on Amazon with code HowLow20 👉 Remedy Kombucha on Amazon And a shoutout to The Leddie Hotel on Scotland’s Golf Coast!

Season 1 | Episode 3 After last week’s disaster on the course, we realised exactly what’s been holding us back from lowering our handicaps. In Episode 3 of How Low Can You Go? — our 6-month golf improvement challenge — Chris (single-figure golfer chasing scratch) and Dave (16-handicapper fighting to break into single digits) finally sit down to create the make-or-break plan. From practice routines and short game drills to strategy, skill development, and the mental game, this is where the journey to scratch and single figures gets real. Will the plan be enough to turn things around — or are we destined to fail? The next 6 months could decide everything.

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 ⸻ ⛳️ Follow the journey 🎧 Listen now and join the ride Apple Podcasts → follow the podcast and leave us a review — let us know your handicap goals!
