Laura has conducted some amazing research around putting over the past number of years in particular around gaze control and also brain activity prior to actually hitting the putt.
What she has uncovered has the potential to transform the way putting is both learned and performed.

The conversation will REALLY get you thinking about the way you approach your game on the greens.
In our time together we looked at:
The difference in brain activity just before the stroke is made between successful and unsuccessful putters. Why doubt over the ball is so detrimental to performance How this increases brain activity which then compromises your stroke Why a line on the ball may not be the most effective strategy Why practicing with putting aids and gadgets can be of limited value The role of the eyes in supplying information for your putt The value of âquiet eyeâ Busy eyes make for a bust brain How to train to then perform Why you shouldnât just keep hitting putt after putt when you are trainingThis is a really refreshing and far reaching conversation that could potentially apply to the whole of your game
A lot of what Laura and Caesar had to say resonated with many of the ideas presented by Gary Nicol and myself in the Lost Art of Putting
Caesar Bayliss has been a PGA professional for over 20 years and specializes in putting. He coaches at The Wisley and other venues across the UK Dr Laura Carey is a Lecturer at the University of the West of Scotland and a HCPC-registered Practitioner Psychologist. She has worked as an applied sport psychologist for over 15 years, offering support to a range of athletes, coaches and teams. Lauraâs PhD was in golf putting, titled "Investigating Perceptual-Cognitive Expertise, Visual Gaze, and Neural Activity in Golf Putting".

How âSocraticâ questioning could help transform your game
Today we have on the show internationally renowned coach Nick Bradley who has written a fantastic new book called âThe 50 secrets to GREAT GOLF you donât know about YET!â

One of the secrets really stood out to me
Socratic questioning and how being prepared to âgo intoâ the problem you have with your game could actually help find a solution
What would you âneedâ to do to slice the ball?
Can you actually experience what you would need to do to deliberately create the âmistakeâ?
This area of enquiry was just one of the fascinating topics that we managed to cover in a really wide ranging conversation:
Why trying to get rid of the âegoâ is the ultimate ego trip Playing to your strengths as a coach The uses and misuses of technology Becoming more of a SHOT coach Giving our shots a ânameâ The problem with âMethod Coachingâ and why this is perhaps the least effective coaching model The dangers of relying on our memoryNick has had a very long and distinguished coaching career, studying with some of the worldâs best coaches like David Leadbetter and then going on to coach top players such as Justin Rose
He is a deep thinker about the game and is refreshingly honest and forthright in his opinions of what we need to do to get the best from our game

During a very wide ranging conversation we to a deep dive into the concept of ENOUGH
What is enough?
In a world where we it is constantly being reinforced that we are not enough and we need more of just about everything it was so refreshing to chat with Becky and to look through a different lens.

We are often overloaded with demands on time How can we get better at focusing our attention on the RIGHT things? The current epidemic of burnout Self doubt and how even the very best can experience this on a regular basis What is REALLY driving the feeling of not being âgood enoughâ? Coming from a position of SCARCITY and LACK Needing external validation for what we do Quietening the inner critic and allowing yourself to seek excellence Following a path that really matters to you Mastering and exploring your craft Why âEnoughâ isnât just sitting back and doing nothing The need to REST and RESTOREHow to avoid the trap of âworking harderâ in terms of your training as opposed to training efficiently
Within the theme we have of looking at the game differently Becky provides a refreshingly alternative perspective.
Nothing in the conversation suggests we shouldnât aim to maximise our skills but it does mean coming at it from a position of âenoughâ as opposed to a position of lack.
Becky Hall is an experienced EMCC executive coach, leadership consultant and facilitator. She has worked one to one with senior leaders and executive teams across all sectors for over twenty years.
Her new book is called âThe Art of Enoughâ

He has always had an intense passion for learning and development and has built a very impressive reputation in Asia for being one of the most forward thinking professionals.
We had a wonderful conversation about the game but not least about the effect of our environment on our game.
Often an area that gets overlooked as we seek out more and more information about technique
Who are you spending most of your golf time with? What effect are they having on you? Is the role of the coach being overstated? What do you actually DO with the information you receive? What does a great training environment look like? 150 Tour winners used or trained at Andrews facility What tough environments can do to enhance CREATIVITY What are you trying to achieve and how can your environment do to support that? How can you utilise your own golf course to set some new challenges? The long term benefits of DELIBERATE MISS Make your games relative to what you want to achieve Make sure you PERSONALISE your drills Does your practice session fully ENGAGE you? The balance between working on your strengths and weaknessesA great conversation with a very deep thinker on the game.

Are you going to take ACTION and become a Certified Mind Factor coach?
Join us for a wonderful three days in Manchester in November
Get in touch at https://themindfactor.net/the-certification-course/
Here is a great quote from his website
"You see ⊠before I became a golfer I was a pioneer in the executive coaching field, My experience working with professional athletes and corporate leaders revealed this truth: Feelings precede thoughts. Or, to put it differently, you canât think positive when you feel negative."
Kent is a good golfer in his own right and he charts his own personal experiences of the game with a big following of players.
The first time we spoke it was clear that Kent and I shared many similar trains of thought.
In particular the importance of JOURNALING
We had a truly memorable conversation discussing the numerous benefits of being a regular journal taker.
It is something we have spoken about on this show and promoted heavily in the Mind Caddie app
We discussed
The difference between THINKING about gratitude and actually FEELING it The ability to be playful when you are hitting your shots Why journaling can help us to balance out the overload of information that is coming at us in the modern world Why evolution got us to focus on the negative and our mistakes How our thinking patterns become so habitual and how journaling can help shift this Why BALANCE is so important from an evolutionary perspective Why journaling can help us to still get something out of a bad outcome day on the course The ability to develop spontaneous acceptance and to be able to be NEUTRAL to the variety of outcomes. The importance of acknowledging the GOOD shots and the good experiences If this was your LAST round of golf how would you want to experience it?So much of what Kent says is based in real world experience and makes for that most elusive of qualities common sense. When you listen to him you realise just how precious this NEXT opportunity is to play the game.
Take the plunge and embark on a year of journaling and just see what it can do for your game.

The Skill of ACCEPTANCE and why it is SO important to develop â Karl Morris
Why you will always fall short of your true capability without this skill
Thanks for joining me on todayâs Brain Booster which is a solo run from me. I wanted to take the opportunity to bring together some of the key concepts from the previous months and some of the recent guests.
Are you going to take ACTION and become a Certified Mind Factor coach?
Join us for a wonderful three days in Manchester in November
Get in touch at https://themindfactor.net/the-certification-course/
At the heart of so much of what we have been discussing is the SKILL of acceptance.
If we are not willing to be ok with the variability of potential outcomes the game can throw at us then we will always be at less than our best.
Acceptance is NOT resignation. We are not trying to pretend to be happy after a bad shot or a missed putt but we ARE willing to deal with the reality and move on
So many people are sold the idea that this swing fix or this âsecretâ will PROTECT them from a poor outcome yet in reality NOTHING will ever protect us from the need to develop a robust relationship to undesired outcomes
Acceptance is an ongoing set of skills that requires a diligent and consistent approach Today I will share with you the building blocks of acceptance Skills that have helped many players at all levels to ACCESS their current skills Why the skill acceptance begins well before the round starts Why âcontaminationâ of your shots is such an issue The value of journaling Why making a commitment to develop acceptance is so important What acceptance does to your physiology Why the expression of your technical skill is dependent on your acceptance skills An opportunity for you to really bring together and clarify some of the key Brain Booster concepts of the previous few months HOW you can actually take action and release more of your capabilities ....Enjoy!Are you going to take ACTION and become a Certified Mind Factor coach?

Download Mind Caddie Here
Simon has spent many years interviewing and being around some of the greatest names in sport.
People who have achieved what others may think as being the âultimateâ experience
Yet often he detected there was an underlying dissatisfaction
Champion Thinking is a counter to the âsuccess evangelismâ that is so prevalent.
Typically, we think weâll be happy when X happens (the job, house, relationship, World Cup win, Olympic gold medal). However, frequently people reach the top of their success Everest and feel underwhelmed or even empty.
But the experience of flow is inherently enjoyable. Why is that? Because as thoughts about past and future drop away, so does our identity and sense of self. And we love it when that happens! The trophy is just a symbol of that moment. Thatâs why we love losing ourselves â in sport, music, conversation, books, dance â the portals are vast.
While we think we want to become a âsomebodyâ, we are happiest when we experience being ânobodyâ. On that level, we are always at peace, whole and fulfilled. The trick then is to embody this recognition, even when we are not 'in flow', and this book can show you how.
This is a great conversation exploring some of the deeper topics around our experience.
What is ânon dualityâ? How can we incorporate this in our everyday life? What is the difference between our âthinking mindâ and our âobserving mindâ? How to create some separation from our thoughts so we donât get so caught up in the content of our thinking What are the best way to set goals? What does make us truly happy?

Jim has had a BIG input on players who listen to the show and I wanted to get him back to talk at more length about a subject that is unfortunately very relevant to a LOT of golfers the YIPS.
We had another wonderful conversation about how to dig yourself out of the doldrums if you are being affected by the yips in certain parts of the game.
We discussed why the yips are becoming more and more prominent these days. Why an overload of technical input can be so damaging to your game How poor chipping concepts are often the cause of the yips to start Why we tend to fall into the trap of extremes Being able to find the âmiddle wayâ How your unconscious mind is trying to PROTECT you from outcomes Separating your sense of self from golfing outcomes How golf can be a vehicle for psychological transformation Letting go of the sense of âI am not good enoughâ Peer group approval and why it is hard wired into us The journey of golfing evolution The process of self contemplationA wonderful conversation with a truly great coach who has made such a difference to golfers and their experience of the game
