In this episode of the FlowCode Golf Podcast, Hallam Morgan sits down with PGA professional and Director of Instruction Mike Pickett to explore how one performance system completely transformed his coaching philosophy, and his life.

Mike shares his journey from working in golf operations to becoming a full-time golf coach focused on the mental game, performance psychology, and long-term athlete development.

Most golfers don't miss short putts because of their stroke... they miss because of what happens in their mind under pressure.

In this episode of the Flow Golf Podcast, Hallam Morgan sits down with David Orr, founder of Flatstick Academy and one of the most respected putting coaches in the world, to break down why golfers choke on short putts and how elite players train their mental game differently.

David shares powerful insights from decades of coaching tour players, including why emotional regulation matters more than mechanics, how the "fear loop" sabotages performance, and the exact mental processes great putters use to stay calm, connected, and confident when it matters most.

If you've ever missed a four-footer to win, qualify, or shoot your best score, this episode will change how you think about putting forever.

In this episode, you'll learn:
✅ Why missing short putts is rarely a technical problem
✅ How fear and focus hijack your stroke under pressure
✅ The difference between practicing putting and training performance
✅ How elite players reset faster after mistakes
✅ Simple mental habits that separate great putters from everyone else

Great coaches are great communicators.
But why do some still fail to connect, even with great information?

In this episode of the Flow Golf Podcast, we sit down with Top 100 Coach Mike Malizia to break down why communication is the most underrated skill in coaching and performance.

Mike shares how great coaches:
✅ Say more with fewer words
✅ Adapt their message to the person, not just the swing
✅ Translate complex biomechanics into simple, actionable cues
✅ Help players perform under pressure by managing state, not just mechanics

We also dive deep into:
👉 Why most golfers say the game is "90% mental" but never train it
👉 How awareness, routines, and emotional responses dictate performance
👉 The difference between coaching tour players vs amateurs
👉 Why listening, not talking, is the real communication skill

Whether you're a golf coach, competitive golfer, or someone who wants to perform better under pressure, this episode will challenge how you think about teaching, learning, and improvement.
