The difference between "positive thinking" and staying open to what's possible
Why Randy believes golfers should influence the ball — not try to control it

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.

What if one of the quickest ways to lower your scores has almost nothing to do with changing your golf swing?
In this episode of The Mind Caddie, Karl Morris is joined by world-renowned putting coach Phil Kenyon, who has worked with many of the very best golfers in the game, including Scottie Scheffler.
Karl and Phil explore why putting represents such a huge opportunity for golfers at every level and why simply spending more time on the putting green doesn't necessarily lead to improvement.
They break putting down into three crucial skills — face control, speed control and green reading — and discuss how to identify which area is actually costing you shots.
Phil explains why green reading is better thought of as a prediction skill, how feedback accelerates learning, and why many golfers practise putting without ever really knowing what they're trying to improve.
They also explore the difference between technical practice and performance practice, how elite players structure their putting sessions, and why understanding your own tendencies is far more valuable than constantly searching for the latest tip.
Phil shares fascinating insights from his work with Scottie Scheffler, including the importance of trusting intuition, accepting the inevitable ebb and flow of performance and developing a clear, repeatable approach rather than constantly searching for something new.
The conversation also looks back at legendary putting pioneer Harold Swash, Phil's mentor and one of the people responsible for establishing putting coaching as a specialist discipline.
A fascinating conversation about putting, learning and performance — and why becoming a better putter may be one of the most accessible ways to become a better golfer.
Why face control, speed control and green reading are the three fundamental elements of putting performance.
How to identify the low-hanging fruit that could improve your putting fastest.
Why green reading should be viewed as a prediction skill, not simply something you either have or don't have.
A simple way of using feedback to improve your ability to predict break.
Why hitting three balls repeatedly on the practice green may be doing very little for your game.
How the world's best players structure putting practice around their individual tendencies and biases.
Why performance practice is essential if you want your putting skills to transfer onto the golf course.
What recreational golfers can learn from Phil's work with Scottie Scheffler.
Why constantly searching for technical fixes can actually make performance more difficult.
The importance of accepting the natural ebb and flow of performance.
Why putting offers club golfers an enormous opportunity to lower scores without requiring elite physical capabilities.
How Phil's approach has evolved from a prescribed putting method towards treating every golfer as an individual case study.
The influence of legendary putting coach Harold Swash on Phil's career and modern putting instruction.
Why great coaching isn't necessarily about having a single method — it's about finding the right solution for the player in front of you.
