    Chase Cooper: The Truth About Golf Swing Technique (It’s Not What You Think) | Part One

    Golf swing inconsistency explained: Chase Cooper on low point, contact, and face control.  In this episode, we’re joined by top US golf coach Chase Cooper—co-host of Golf Beneath the Surface and a self-confessed “tech nerd”—to dive into what actually controls your ball striking in golf. We set out to talk golf swing technique… but what follows is a completely different way of thinking about it.

In part two, Chase analyses our swings and tells us exactly what we need to change to reach our goals this season.

    First Tee Nerves: Why Golfers Play Scared (And How to Play Freely) | Dr Raymond Prior (Part 2)

    Most golfers aren’t trying to hit the shot they want — they’re trying to avoid the one they fear.  In Part 2 of our conversation with performance psychologist Dr Raymond Prior, we go deeper into the mental side of golf — and why so many golfers struggle when it matters most. Why does the first tee feel so terrifying? Why do golfers start protecting a good score instead of chasing a great one? And what’s the crucial difference between being nervous… and being anxious? Raymond explains why many golfers unknowingly play with an avoidance mindset — trying not to hit the bad shot — instead of pursuing the shot they actually want to hit. That shift alone can completely change how you perform under pressure. In this episode we explore: Why first-tee nerves feel so intense The difference between nerves and anxiety in performance Why golfers often protect a good score instead of going low How to step away and reset when your mind starts racing Why “choking” in sport is often misunderstood How identity and ego can interfere with your golf This episode is packed with practical insights for any golfer who wants to play more freely, handle pressure better, and finally understand the psychology behind their best — and worst — rounds. Dr Raymond Prior is a leading performance psychologist and author of Golf Beneath the Surface, working with elite players and performers across multiple sports. If you’ve ever stood on the first tee hoping you don’t embarrass yourself… this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen now. 📺 YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@HowLowCanYouGoPodcast 📸 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/howlowcanyougopodcast/ 💌 Contact → howlowcanyougopodcast@gmail.com 📊 Explore Golf Beneath The Surface → https://btsmindset.com/  https://www.instagram.com/gbtspodcast/ 🏨 Big shout out to The Leddie Hotel on Scotland’s Golf Coast.

    You Can’t Shoot Low If You’re Afraid to Shoot High | Dr Raymond Prior (Part 1)

    You can’t shoot low if you’re afraid to shoot high. That single idea might explain why so many golfers struggle to play their best when it matters. In this episode of How Low Can You Go, we’re joined by Dr Raymond Prior — world renowned performance psychologist, author of Golf Beneath the Surface, and coach to elite performers across sport, business and entertainment. In Part 1 of this conversation, Raymond breaks down the psychology behind why golfers so often get in their own way. We discuss: Why your brain prioritises avoidance over pursuit The psychological domino effect that influences every shot Why trying to relax or think positively often backfires How past experiences can quietly shape how you perform today The difference between doing mode and being mode of mindIf you’ve ever: tried not to three-putt and then three-puttedfelt your swing collapse when the pressure risesworked really hard at your game and then shot a terrible scoreThis episode will completely change how you think about the mental side of golf. Part 2 of this conversation will be released next week. 🎧 Listen now. 📺 YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@HowLowCanYouGoPodcast 📸 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/howlowcanyougopodcast/ 💌 Contact → howlowcanyougopodcast@gmail.com 📊 Explore Golf Beneath The Surface → https://btsmindset.com/  https://www.instagram.com/gbtspodcast/ 🏨 Big shout out to The Leddie Hotel on Scotland’s Golf Coast.
