Playing better golf starts with accepting bad shots rather than trying to prevent them.
In this episode of The Mind Caddie, Karl Morris is joined by golf performance coach Jim Waldron for a deep dive into the mental game of golf, golf psychology, performance under pressure and the mind-body connection.
They explore why acceptance can be the foundation of better performance — and why trying to control your swing, your thoughts and your outcomes can actually make your golf worse.
In this episode:
Acceptance and the mental game — why accepting every possible outcome can reduce threat and free you to perform.

The yips and performance anxiety — why resistance can reinforce the yips and how changing your relationship with them can help.

"Let's see what happens" — the simple mindset used by elite players to reduce emotional attachment to the outcome.

Swing thoughts and overthinking — why micromanaging tiny movements on the golf course can interfere with natural movement and skill.

The mind-body connection — using focused awareness and feel, particularly through the hands, grip and body, rather than constantly thinking about technique.

Playing golf with freedom — moving from hope and fear towards acceptance, confidence, focus and a more carefree approach to performance.

A compelling conversation about golf mental toughness, confidence, focus, the yips, mindfulness, golf performance coaching and how to access the skills you already have.
