    Karl Morris | The Three Words That Could Transform Your Golf Game (+ How Ryan Fox Won The Open)

    Ryan Fox has just become Champion Golfer of the Year. Just days after his Open Championship victory, Ryan Fox’s long-time performance coach, Karl Morris, joins How Low Can You Go? to unpack the mental skills that helped produce one of golf’s biggest victories. For decades, Karl has worked with major champions, Ryder Cup players and Tour winners. In this episode, he shares the simple mental framework that helped Ryan perform under the greatest pressure in the game—and explains how every club golfer can apply those same principles to play better golf. The conversation centres around three simple words Karl believes can transform your golf: ✅ Intention ✅ Attention ✅ Attitude Along the way, we discuss: • How Ryan Fox dealt with the brutal bunker break on the 15th hole at The Open—and why acceptance was the key to recovering and ultimately becoming Champion Golfer of the Year. • Why so many golfers are trapped playing “avoidance golf” instead of pursuing great golf. • The simple mental shift that could lower your scores without changing your swing. • How to access your best golf under pressure. • Why chasing good shots is far more effective than trying to avoid bad ones. • The attention techniques elite golfers use to perform when it matters most. • How to build stable confidence that lasts beyond one good round. Whether you’re trying to break 100, 90, 80 or simply become a more content golfer, this conversation is packed with practical ideas you can take straight to the golf course. If you’ve ever struggled to transfer your range game onto the golf course—or wondered what separates Tour winners from everyone else—this is an episode you won’t want to miss. In this episode: Ryan Fox, The Open Championship, Champion Golfer of the Year, Karl Morris, golf psychology, golf mental game, golf mindset, performance coaching, The Mind Caddy, intention, attention, attitude, acceptance, avoidance golf, golf confidence, lower scores, course management, golf improvement, performance psychology, golf podcast. 🏌️ HLCYG LIVE GOLF IMPROVEMENT EXPERIENCES We’re building something we’re incredibly excited about: a two-day golf improvement experience at a premium location in Scotland this autumn, with world-class coaching.

    The Biggest Mistake Golfers Make? They Only Prepare for Plan A | Mark Immelman (Part 2)

    🏌️ Most golfers only prepare for Plan A. The best golfers are ready for Plan B… and Plan C. Most golfers spend all their practice preparing for the perfect round. But what happens when Plan A disappears? In Part Two of our conversation with renowned broadcaster, coach and author Mark Immelman, Mark shares a brilliant lesson from Sir Nick Faldo that might completely change the way you think about scoring. We explore what has become a recurring theme on How Low Can You Go - why preparing for your C-game might be more important than your A-game. We also discuss the habits that separate the world’s best golfers from everyone else, and why better processes—not better scores—are the key to playing consistently better golf. We also share exclusive on-course moments from our day with Mark on Scotland’s Golf Coast, including a short-game lesson with Dave, and a brilliant story involving legendary coach Butch Harmon. If you’re serious about lowering your scores, this is an episode you’ll come back to time and time again. ⛳ In this episode • The Sir Nick Faldo lesson every golfer needs to hear - Why you must have a plan for you B-game and your C-game if your A-game doesn’t show up • The habits that separate elite golfers from the rest of us • Why smart decisions beat heroic golf shots almost every time • How focusing on process can ultimately lead to better outcomes • Exclusive on-course coaching from Mark at North Berwick • A fantastic ‘pearl’ of golf wisdom from Butch Harmon 📚 Learn more from Mark Immelman If you enjoyed this conversation, we highly recommend exploring more of Mark’s work. 🌐 Website https://markimmelman.com 🎙️ Podcast On the Mark Podcast 📖 Book Lessons from the Best: Holistic Insights, Tips, and Tricks to Improve Your Golf Game Mark has spent decades interviewing and learning from many of the greatest players, coaches and minds in golf, and his podcast and book are packed with practical wisdom for golfers of every level. 🎙️ ABOUT THE SHOW How Low Can You Go explores how amateur golfers can improve their game, lower their scores, and actually understand what moves the needle — without wasting time on the wrong things. 🎧 Listen now and start turning bad rounds into better golf. 📸 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/howlowcanyougopodcast/ 📺 YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@HowLowCanYouGoPodcast 💌 Contact howlowcanyougopodcast@gmail.com ⭐ If you enjoyed this episode, please follow the podcast, leave us a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating and share it with a golfing friend.

    The Fastest Way to Lower Your Scores | Mark Immelman (Part 1)

    “Golf isn’t a game of perfect… it’s a game of recovery.” That simple idea sits at the heart of this conversation with Mark Immelman—one of golf’s great communicators, CBS Sports commentator and host of the acclaimed On the Mark podcast. In Part One of this special two-part series, Mark challenges some of the biggest assumptions amateur golfers make about improving. We talk about why so many players become obsessed with technique, the idea of ‘Shot Number Three’, why the best coaches see golf as an orchestra rather than a collection of individual parts, and how accepting imperfection might just transform the way you play. The conversation then takes an unexpected turn into flow state, the emotional pull of great golf courses and why, at its very best, golf can become something that reaches far beyond scorecards and swing positions. Whether you’re trying to break 100, 90 or 80, this is an episode that will change the way you think about the game. In this episode: Why golf is a game of recovery, not perfectionMark’s brilliant concept of ‘Shot Number Three’The orchestra analogy that every golfer should hearPutting, perspective and playing with freedomFlow state and finding your best golfWhy the greatest golf courses can move us emotionallyNext week in Part Two… Mark turns philosophy into practice. He maps out exactly how Dave can become a better golfer, shares stories from Sir Nick Faldo and Jack Nicklaus, explains why carry distances matter so much, and reveals the habits that separate good golfers from great ones. We’ll also take you behind the scenes from Scottish Open week, where what began as a podcast interview turned into an unforgettable day playing golf together in Gullane and North Berwick. 🎙️ ABOUT THE SHOW How Low Can You Go explores how amateur golfers can improve their game, lower their scores, and actually understand what moves the needle — without wasting time on the wrong things. 🎧 Listen now and start turning bad rounds into better golf. 📸 Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/howlowcanyougopodcast/ 📺 YouTube  https://www.youtube.com/@HowLowCanYouGoPodcast 💌 Contact  howlowcanyougopodcast@gmail.com ⭐ If you enjoyed this episode, please follow the podcast, leave us a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating and share it with a golfing friend.

    What if getting better at golf doesn’t actually make the game easier… it just gives you a new challenge to chase? Breaking 90 should feel like a big breakthrough… so why does it immediately become the start of the next challenge?

    Why High Expectations Are Ruining Your Golf | Jared Tendler Psychoanalyses a Near-Scratch Golfer (Part 2)

    "When you say high standard, I think expectation. And expectations are hidden guarantees." — Jared Tendler Last week, Jared Tendler psychoanalysed Dave's golf game and uncovered some uncomfortable truths about confidence, insecurity, self-worth and performance. This week, it's Chris's turn. On paper, Chris is the golfer most amateurs aspire to become. A low handicap player capable of shooting under par and pushing towards scratch golf. But Jared quickly uncovers a different challenge entirely: Perfectionism. High expectations. And a mindset that's quietly making improvement harder, not easier. Why do so many good golfers struggle to enjoy the game? Why do high standards sometimes hurt performance instead of helping it? And how can ambitious golfers pursue improvement without becoming trapped by unrealistic expectations? This conversation explores golf psychology, perfectionism, confidence, expectations, resilience, mental toughness and the hidden mental mistakes that often hold good golfers back. Whether you're trying to break 100, break 90, reach single figures or chase scratch golf, the lessons in this episode apply far beyond elite golf. In This Episode: ✅ High expectations vs healthy standards ✅ Why perfectionism hurts performance ✅ Building confidence the right way ✅ How to stop throwing rounds away ✅ Resilience and grit on the golf course ✅ The psychology of scratch golf ✅ The "anchor in the mountain" concept ✅A Game, B Game, C Game - why a better C game can lead to lasting improvement.
