    How Jamie Dornan Got to Single Figures — and What Club Golfers Can Learn

    What does it really take for a club golfer to make the jump to single figures?  Part 1 (Season 2, Episode 5) How Low Can You Go? In Part One of this episode of How Low Can You Go?, we’re joined by actor and passionate golfer Jamie Dornan — not to talk Hollywood, but to talk improvement. Jamie shares his journey from a mid-to-high handicapper to a solid single-figure player, driven by obsession, curiosity, and a relentless desire to get better. We dive into how watching too much golf content led him to seek clarity, why a single lesson with the right question changed everything, and how playing in the Dunhill Links Pro-Am alongside DP World Tour players tested his game under real pressure — including the day he “nearly killed” two spectators with a golf ball. This is a conversation for club golfers who feel first-tee nerves, chase consistency, and want to understand what actually moves the needle in improvement — without chasing perfect swings or tour-level golf. If you’re trying to get better at golf, this one will resonate. 🎧 Listen now and join the ride. 📺 YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@HowLowCanYouGoPodcast 📸 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/howlowcanyougopodcast/ 💌 Contact → howlowcanyougopodcast@gmail.com 🏨 Big shout out to The Leddie Hotel on Scotland’s Golf Coast.

    Karl Morris - Part Two: Rewrite Your Golf Story

    Change Your Story. Change Your Golf. Part Two (Season 2, Episode 2) How Low Can You Go? In Part Two of our conversation with Karl Morris, we go deeper — into the stories golfers tell themselves, the identities they cling to, and why those narratives may be costing them far more shots than their swing ever could. If Part One challenged what you work on in your golf, Part Two challenges who you believe you are on the course. Karl Morris, one of the world’s leading golf mental and performance coaches, explains why most golfers aren’t limited by lack of ability - but by outdated stories they’ve unknowingly rehearsed for years. In this episode, we explore: Why “shouldism” (the belief that you should make birdies) quietly fuels big scoresWhy reducing doubles and triples matters far more than chasing birdiesThe powerful exercise Karl uses to help players rewrite their golfing identityHow awareness of your “old story” gives you the freedom to choose a new oneWhy gratitude isn’t soft thinking — but a genuine high-performance stateHow gratitude reduces threat in the brain and helps you access the skill you already haveKarl also shares one of the most moving stories you're likely to hear on a golf improvement podcast — The Tuesday Boys — a reminder that none of us get unlimited rounds, unlimited seasons, or unlimited chances. Every golfer eventually runs out of Tuesdays. Golf improvement isn’t about positive thinking. It isn’t about pretending bad shots don’t exist. And it’s definitely not about lowering your standards. It’s about changing your story — and changing your golf. 🎓 Mind Factor Certification – Listener Offer We’re delighted to be supporting Karl’s Mind Factor Online Certification, where his life’s work in golf performance, mindset and skill-access is brought together in one in-depth programme for golfers and coaches. 💷 £100 OFF with promo code HOWLOW 🔗 https://themindfactor.net/product/mind-factor-online-certification-course/ #golf #golfpodcast #golfmindset #mentalgame #karlmorris #mindcaddie #howlowcanyougo #clubgolfers #golfperformance #gratitude 🎧 Listen now and join the ride. 📺 YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@HowLowCanYouGoPodcast 📸 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/howlowcanyougopodcast/ 💌 Contact → howlowcanyougopodcast@gmail.com And a shoutout to The Leddie Hotel on Scotland’s Golf Coast!

    Karl Morris – Part One: The Skill Golfers Never Train (And Why They Stay Stuck)

    What if the biggest thing holding your golf back… isn’t your swing? Part One (Season 2, Episode 1)  Season 2 of How Low Can You Go? starts with a question that challenges everything club golfers think they know about improvement. We’re joined by Karl Morris, one of the world’s leading golf mental and performance coaches, who has worked with some of the best players in the game — including Major champions Louis Oosthuizen, Graeme McDowell, and Darren Clarke. Many times on this podcast, we’ve quoted Karl’s books, referenced his ideas, and championed his work. So having him join us to open Season 2 feels like a defining moment for the show. In this episode, Karl explains why: Anyone who says golf is all about the swing is wrongAnyone who says it’s all in the mind is also wrongReal improvement lives in the mind–body connectionWe explore why so many golfers work incredibly hard… yet stay stuck: The crucial difference between developing skills and accessing skillsWhy golfers often lose access to shots they know they can hitHow the brain can see the golf course as a place of threat, not opportunityWhy acceptance may be the single most important mental skill in golfAnd a simple but powerful method Karl uses to help players “pre-load” acceptance before they even tee it upThis is not about giving up. It’s not about lowering standards. It’s about embracing the reality of the game — and finally unlocking better performance. 🎧 Part Two dives deeper into stories, identity, gratitude, and how changing the way you think about golf could change your results faster than another range session ever will.  #golf #golfpodcast #golfimprovement #golfmentalgame #mentalgame #karlmorris #mindcaddie #howlowcanyougo #clubgolfers #golfmindset  🎓 Mind Factor Certification – Listener Offer We’re delighted to be supporting Karl’s Mind Factor Online Certification, where his life’s work in golf performance, mindset and skill-access is brought together in one in-depth programme for golfers and coaches. 💷 £100 OFF with promo code HOWLOW 🔗 https://themindfactor.net/product/mind-factor-online-certification-course/ 🎧 Listen now and join the ride. 📺 YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@HowLowCanYouGoPodcast 📸 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/howlowcanyougopodcast/ Training 'Acceptance' - Karl Morris short https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTLtZb3Ddof/?igsh=OGtnOXo2bWd0eTJt 💌 Contact → howlowcanyougopodcast@gmail.com And a shoutout to The Leddie Hotel on Scotland’s Golf Coast!
