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.

The Golfers SIXTH SENSE On today’s show, we have a brilliant conversation with top Swedish PGA professional Marcus Westerberg. Marcus is a good friend of the show I’ve been previously been on a couple of times in the past to discuss his work. He wrote an absolutely brilliant book called the ‘Golfers Sixth Sense.’ This book is about a deep understanding of the mind body connection in Golf and how it is foolish to try to separate the two. Marcus is a really deep thinker about the game, and he’s had some incredible success in Sweden with his coaching and is very highly regarded throughout the world. In the show we discuss the importance of having the correct concepts of impact understanding focus of attention, and perhaps, above anything else that needs to build a pre-shot routine that is unique to you as a golfer that delivers on a regular basis, the best of your capabilities We also go into detail about how Marcus has evolved as a coach with his deep dive into the science of motor learning and skill acquisition, and how you can get much more out of your practice sessions and training. If you fully understand the mind body synergy. Perhaps most importantly, we talk in depth about how a simple misconception about impact can have such a long-term and profound impact on your game in a detrimental way. Change your concepts change your game. Enjoy a great conversation with a great coach, Marcus Westerberg.
