Today on the Mind Caddie we welcome back again my great friend Jim Waldron.

We have built this whole podcast around the legendary Ben Hogan.

For so long there has been an endless fascination about his golf swing and the supposed 'Hogan Secret'

Whilst there may have been some secrets around his incredible swing as we discuss there were also some amazing secrets around the way he played and approached the game.

Jim Waldron has studied Hogan for over 40 years and spent time with many people who worked with and for Hogan

He is currently writing a book called 'The Many Secrets of Ben Hogan'

We discussed:

• Hogans golden rules of the swing
• The importance of balance
• Good tension in the swing
• How Hogan worked out what to focus on to access his skills
• What he did when TARGET focus didn't work
• How he changed his swing
• How ACCEPTANCE allowed him to begin to WIN
• His joy at working on his game
• The path to self mastery
• The importance of researching your own experience

A brilliant thought provoking session with a great coach

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. Being aware of where it is in space

A wonderful session with two GREAT and accomplished coaches

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
