Why the Golf Course Feels Like a Threat, and How to Change That w/ Karl Morris
Karl Morris rejoins the show to discuss his new book, The Mind Caddie, and practical ways golfers can simplify the mental game and access more of the skill they already have. Karl explains why attention is such a powerful performance tool, how the time between shots can shape an entire round, and why golfers often make things worse by resisting bad shots, slow play, nerves, and other parts of the game they can’t fully control. They also explore Karl’s “ones, twos, and threes” framework for accepting the full range of shots you’ll hit, along with simple ways to use your senses, perspective, and humor to reduce the feeling of threat on the course.

The 4 Zones of Golf Improvement w/ Luke Benoit
In this episode, Jon and Adam are joined by golf coach and researcher Luke Benoit to explore how motor learning research can change the way golfers practice, build their swings, and ultimately perform on the course. Luke explains his framework of separating construction, calibration, transfer, and performance, arguing that golfers often get stuck in a “messy middle” where they’re trying to change mechanics and hit good shots at the same time. exploresThey discuss why golfers should first understand impact and calibration, why some swing changes are better trained away from the golf ball with immediate video feedback, and how “reverse chaining” can make mechanical changes more efficient. The conversation also digs into why internal swing thoughts should gradually fade as golfers move toward competition, allowing them to rely more on external focus, instinct, and athletic reaction.

The Difference Between Practicing Your Swing and Building Skill
In this episode, Jon and Adam explore why golfers can spend years chasing technical swing changes without actually becoming more skilled or consistent. They discuss why “fewer moving parts” doesn’t necessarily lead to better golf, and how constant internal thinking can pull attention away from the decisions and feel required to actually play the game. Adam explains how differential practice—intentionally changing strike location, face direction, trajectory, and other outcomes—can help golfers build the ability to self-correct rather than depend on a single swing feel. They also cover why meaningful improvement often requires exaggeration, experimentation, and learning the right “dose” of a correction instead of endlessly searching for perfect mechanics. The larger message is that technique still matters, but developing adaptable skills gives golfers a better chance to improve, troubleshoot their games, and carry those gains onto the course.

Bad Rounds, Bad Info, and How Golfers Get Off Track
Jon and Adam discuss two different ways golfers can improve how they respond when things go wrong. Jon shares a difficult tournament experience at the Met Amateur and explains why he tries to view every round as part of a much longer process—using bad days to practice staying engaged, committing to good decisions, and building habits that will carry into future rounds. Adam then explores how faulty concepts about impact, ball flight, alignment, and swing mechanics can send golfers down the wrong path, even when those beliefs feel logical. They also discuss why better players can sometimes perform well despite incorrect ideas, and why understanding what actually caused a bad shot gives golfers a much better chance of making the right adjustment.

The Swing Positions That Matter, and the Ones That Don’t
In this episode, Jon and Adam explore why golfers often obsess over “textbook” swing positions that may have little connection to better performance. Adam breaks down four categories of mechanics—from traits that barely influence impact, to movements that matter but can look very different from player to player, to the few fundamentals that are truly necessary for elite golf. They also discuss why unconventional swings like Ryan Fox’s shouldn’t be viewed as players “getting away with” bad mechanics, and why amateurs should be cautious about copying techniques and strategies that only work because tour players possess exceptional skill. Jon also shares lessons from his recent trip to Scotland and England, including how firm conditions and heathland golf forced him to rethink club selection, rollout, and course management.

The (Unintended) Curse of Better Ball Striking
In this episode, Jon and Adam explore why even the best-looking golf swings can still produce terrible shots—and why tiny changes at impact often matter more than what you can see on video. They break down the difference between “macro” swing mechanics and the micromechanics of strike, including how just a few millimeters of variation can turn a solid shot into a chunk or blade. They also discuss the “curse of the good ball striker,” where hitting more greens can actually make golfers feel worse about their putting because they’re facing more long-range birdie attempts. Along the way, they explain why golfers should manage expectations, focus on what they can control, and accept that some variability and luck are unavoidable parts of the game.
