    The Secrets to Transferring your range game to the Golf Course – Will Wu and John Dunigan #391

    Today on the Mind Caddie we welcome two great guests in the shape of motor learning experts Will Wu and John Dunigan who have created a wonderful app called 'Practice Coach' We had a fascinating discussion about all things practice and why so many golfers don't transfer their range game to the actual golf course Almost a universal issue with players is they DO NOT transfer their skills The route to swing changes WHY are you trying to make a swing change? First of all can you MOVE better? Who are you as a PLAYER? What are you ACTUALLY thinking about and focusing on when you try to make changes Internal focus and External focus and how they affect the Mind Body connection The stroke/swing is NOT the SKILL Go outside what you are doing. Go too high, too low, just right Our nervous system is information SEEKING and needs COMPARISON Higher quality REPS Enriching the experience of practice Understanding and FEELING the club.

    The No B.S. Guide to Buying a Better Golf Swing – Lawrie Montague #390

    Exposing why golf lessons fail and the smarter path to real, lasting improvement Today we spend time with top coach Lawrie Montague from Australia to discuss his wonderful book The No B.S. Guide to Buying a Better Golf Swing We had a wonderful conversation about Lawrie's views on coaching Why so many people are trying to learn swing as opposed to learning how to PLAY golf How the marketing machine for golf swing has overtaken the student's real NEEDS How data is often just focused on past history and doesn't open to the possibilities of the future Focusing more on the POTENTIAL future Finding out what a player REALLY wants Why the student is not to blame when learning is not happening What is getting in the way of learning The importance of clarity in GOAL SETTING Generating student led questions Why students are being taught not coached Seeing your golf clubs as TOOLS to use. Solving the problems the golf course presents to you A really informative session with a top coach who has made such a valuable contribution to the game To become a Certified Mind Factor coach go to www.themindfactor.com To join us on the Mind Caddie journey go to www.mindcaddie.golf Shop with code : MINDFACTOR10 at checkout for 10% OFF your next order at www.fenixxcell.com @fenixxcell

    The 'No Thought' State Why your intellect could be holding you back - Dicken Bettinger #389

    Today on the Brain Booster we welcome back a wonderful guest in Dicken Bettinger. Dicken completely changed his approach to psychology after meeting Syd Banks and understanding the 'Three Principles' He then spent over twenty years studying with Syd and is now acknowledged as one of the world's leading teachers of the principles. During a very wide ranging conversation we discussed the ideas of Mind, Consciousness and Thought How we spend so much time trying to 'control' things with the intellect Trying harder Thinking more Being so involved with our thoughts Trying to 'change' our experience Why the intellect alone cannot solve our problems and issues Understanding what WISDOM is and how we can learn to trust it more A deeper intelligence when we are fully PRESENT A quiet mind that is FULLY PRESENT A KNOWING that cannot be explained How to access true WISDOM How the intellect creates tension and upset The limitations of trying to 'think' positive No human being can 'think' their way to contentment The 'NO THOUGHT' state What is it? How is it accessed A really wonderful conversation with Dicken to get you to consider just how much our intellect is trying to run the show. There is another way and Dicken explains beautifully what it is.

    GOLF - The Preciousness of Each Round– Andrew Murray #387

    Today on the show I welcome back my great friend and colleague Andrew Murray who I have known for over 30 years. It is also a poignant podcast as we pay tribute to the passing of one of both our friends Denis Durnian who was a terrific player on the European Tour and still holds jointly the incredible record of the lowest 9 hole score in ANY major when he shot an incredible 28 on the front 9 at Royal Birkdale in the 1983 Open He was one of the last of a unique golfer who managed to combine being a club pro with a successful career on the European Tour. With our conversation we hark back to a different time of golf but a wonderful time nevertheless. Andrew played many times with the great Severiano Ballesteros and he shares with us some wonderful stories about the charisma and genius of the late great and sadly missed Spanish player. The great Sandy Lyle and why he should have been Ryder Cup captain The evolution of golf coaching on the European Tour, the early days of star coaches such as David Leadbetter and Bob Torrance How coaching worked very successfully for some players but a disaster for others In our discussion we reinforced the need for Gratitude and Appreciation as a cornerstone of a golfing philosophy The very sad loss of Denis Durnian only reinforces how precious each round of golf actually is.
