Raymond and I collaborated on what we believe to be a ground breaking project called ‘Building Stable Confidence’
It is a program that has had wonderful reviews and could be a wonderful assistance this year to help you get the best from your game.
During the webinar we discussed the key concept of
‘Separating SELF from CRAFT’
How can we develop the capability to create some space between our capability as a golfer and our self image as a human being
How being ‘concerned’ about our value as a human is tied to our evolutionary development
The early messages we receive as youngsters from important people around us and how this can weave into our identity
The need to develop a ‘SAFE PLACE’ to play from How our performance can become a THREAT to our identity How this leads to unstable confidence Why your relationship to the game can become so toxic The necessity to ask yourself the question ‘Why do I play golf?’ Not to take your initial answer but to look deeper to what is REALLY important to you
What are your INTRINSIC and SELF DIRECTED values to play the game? Challenging your core BELIEFS to see if they REALLY work for you The fragility of EXTRINSIC values and why you can never ‘get enough’ The need to JOURNAL your experiences and why that is so important What am I committed to TODAY? Think about WHY you play golf WHEN you play golf Being INTENTIONAL and on purpose This is a wonderful session with Raymond and Karl as they go into some real detail as to how to get the very best from your game

How Being Mindless affects EVERYTHING we do – Dr Ellen Langer #303
Today on the Brain Booster we are joined by an extraordinarily special guest Dr Ellen Langer
Dr Langer has been one of the most influential people in the world of psychology over the past 40 years
She was the first female tenured professor in psychology at Harvard
Has written numerous books
She has conducted so many incredible experiments, most notably the ‘counterclockwise’ experiment where she had older men go into a ‘pod’ that took them back to their younger selves.
The results as we find out today were extraordinary
She has been studying Mindfulness for the past 35 years and makes clear that mindfulness is NOT meditation
Mindfulness is being aware of what is ACTUALLY happening as opposed to what we think is happening based on our auto pilot responses
Why we need to realise that we DON’T know How our assumptions keep constantly tricking us How research only gives us PROBABILITIES not absolutes The ‘counterclockwise’ study and the amazing possibilities that open up Is ageing a direct consequence of our beliefs surrounding what we believe SHOULD be happening? Can we think ourselves WELL? Can we think ourselves SICK? What living a mindful life looks like To get a copy of Ellen Langer’s new book The Mindful Body go to

What is the TRUE source of your experience – Andy Morrison #301
We welcome back onto the Brain Booster Andy Morrison for a further chat about his coaching experiences
We delve further into the nature of experience and how it is all generated by your thinking
The Lost Art of Golf 2 day school at Archerfield Links with Karl Morris and Gary Nicol
The ULTIMATE interactive learning experience at the ULTIMATE location
Andy is very prolific on Twitter/X
His main message is that he offers the opportunity to develop your game without using lots of mental game strategies and techniques
Why we fall into the trap of focusing too much on the CONTENT of our thinking This often actually creates the opposite effect of actually making the mind even busier What could we put our faith in that will have some longevity? What is the true nature of thought? What is actually creating our experience BEFORE the content of our thinking? The difference between having a clear INTENTION about the shot as opposed to falling into the trap of thinking ‘what does this shot say about me?’
How we hang on to our ‘personal thinking’ Changing our relationship to what the game actually means The ability to ‘stay in the game’ Why trying to ‘fix’ our thinking can be so detrimental A really interesting session with a coach working with players at all levels of the game To find out more about Andy Morrison go to

Karl Morris
Karl Morris is an excellent podcaster as he asks guests the best questions to get those golden nuggets of wisdom for the listener. He has the rare ability to both listen and speak well.
Fred Shoemaker
I am (was) a 22 handicap on Saturday. I listened to Fred Shoemaker interview, and without any practice, i stood on the first tee, and said to my fellow golfers,
I’m going to enjoy my golf today.
I started trying to feel where the club head was in my back swing. It removed all swing thoughts and enabled me to swing freely.
I often have a chicken wing and have never been able to eradicate it completely, but I have never felt what it’s like to swing a club without a chicken wing, but I was able to feel on a practice swing what it felt like and how the face felt on the club. Ok I only scored 32 on this round.
Today 2 days later I again tried to be aware of where the club head was, over the first 5 or 6 holes I was hooking the ball, not badly enough too lose the ball, but got myself in trouble. I managed to eek out a 1
or a 2 on most holes (stableford). I realised that I was stretching to hit the ball and the face was too open, moved the ball back in my stance and started hitting shots out of the middle of the club face, and managed to get 20 points on the last 7 holes.
I was hitting the ball further and with more accuracy, hitting greens in regulation and managing to hit my sw different distances to get close to the flag. Our greens have been cored within the last 2 weeks so putting had to be firm and accurate.
I came third in c grade and even starring down the last long par four, with the pressure of trying to end the round successfully, index 3, I managed a 2 pointer, with a 2 inch tap in.
Thanks Fred and Carl - you have made an old man 66 very happy, very confident and I think a changed person.
Essential listening
Love listening to the podcasts.
