You Can’t Shoot Low If You’re Afraid to Shoot High | Dr Raymond Prior (Part 1)

You can’t shoot low if you’re afraid to shoot high.

That single idea might explain why so many golfers struggle to play their best when it matters.

In this episode of How Low Can You Go, we’re joined by Dr Raymond Prior — world renowned performance psychologist, author of Golf Beneath the Surface, and coach to elite performers across sport, business and entertainment.

In Part 1 of this conversation, Raymond breaks down the psychology behind why golfers so often get in their own way.

We discuss:

• Why your brain prioritises avoidance over pursuit
• The psychological domino effect that influences every shot
• Why trying to relax or think positively often backfires
• How past experiences can quietly shape how you perform today
• The difference between doing mode and being mode of mind

If you’ve ever:

• tried not to three-putt and then three-putted
• felt your swing collapse when the pressure rises
• worked really hard at your game and then shot a terrible score

This episode will completely change how you think about the mental side of golf.

Part 2 of this conversation will be released next week.
