Your Brain Is Sabotaging Your Golf 
What if the reason you're not playing your best golf has almost nothing to do with your swing?
In this fascinating episode of The Mind Caddie, Karl Morris is joined by renowned golf researcher Dr. Debbie Crews, and what she reveals about the brain could completely change the way you approach your next round.
Debbie has spent decades studying what happens inside the brains of golfers and other elite performers. Her latest research explores the different "mini-me's" that can appear on the golf course — the perfectionist, the worrier, the performer, the focused player, the frustrated player and more.
The remarkable discovery? They don't all produce the same brain patterns — and some versions of you are far better at playing golf than others.
Karl and Debbie explore why you should decide who you're going to be before you play, why the final second before the swing is so important, and why thinking about your technique when you're actually playing may be one of the worst things you can do.
They also reveal why target, feel, rhythm and timing can help the brain move away from conscious control and allow your subconscious skills to take over.
And if you've ever stood over a putt drowning in swing thoughts, alignment thoughts and technical information, Debbie has a wonderfully simple solution: get the clutter out of your golf and let your brain and body do what they've been trained to do.
This is a fascinating conversation about neuroscience, subconscious performance, decision-making and the hidden mental game of golf — with some remarkably practical ideas you can take straight onto the course.
In this episode:
🧠 Are you playing with the wrong "you"? Discover Debbie's fascinating research into the different "mini-me's" that emerge during a round.

🎯 Choose who you want to be — why deciding before you play which version of yourself you want on the course can transform performance.

⏱️ The final second matters — what brain research reveals about the crucial moment before the club starts moving.

🏌️ Stop thinking about your swing — why target, feel, rhythm and timing can outperform conscious technical control.

🧹 Declutter your golf — could all those routines, swing thoughts and pieces of information actually be making you worse?

🧠 Meet your "coach and team" — Debbie explains why your conscious mind should make the decision and then trust your subconscious to execute it.

⛳ Why indecision kills performance — why committing to a shot, even the wrong one, is better than standing over the ball with a question mark in your head.

🔥 The simplest golf instruction of all? Debbie's final message: get the ball in the hole and trust your team to figure it out.

If you've ever wondered why you can hit the ball beautifully on the range but struggle to reproduce it when it matters, this conversation could change the way you think about your game.
