    The Many Secrets of Ben Hogan – Part Two – Jim Waldron #405

    Today on The Mind Caddie, we welcome back renowned coach Jim Waldron as we continue our conversation into The Many Secrets of Ben Hogan—following the incredible response to our first conversation. This episode goes far beyond technique. We explore the idea of golf as a rite of passage—from Vision Quest and finding your path, to confronting ego, embracing failure, and developing true self-acceptance. What does it really take to move from vulnerability to a fully formed, resilient mindset—and how does that show up in your golf? We also break down one of the most misunderstood fundamentals in the game: grip pressure. Hogan's insights and the 3 key principles he discovered How to find your ideal balance point (on a scale of 1–15) Why poor grip pressure quietly ruins swings Could your grips themselves be holding you back? The hidden downside of tapered grips Why grip pressure can be a powerful mental focal point Insights from Tom Watson on feel and control What great players actually focus on when playing their best Adjusting grip pressure for different putts Why aiming at small targets can sometimes hurt your game This is a deep conversation about mastery, mindset, and performance under pressure—and why so many golfers unknowingly practice to avoid failure instead of pursuing great shots. If you're serious about improving your golf—and your thinking—this episode is packed with insights.
