And how it could make a huge difference to the clarity, composure and timing in your game

Today we are joined on the show by the outstanding Canadian coach JS Legare

JS is a certified Mind Factor coach but also an expert on BREATHWORK

We had a fascinating conversation about how we can become more aware of the impact of our breathing on our physiology

• When our breathing is poor our access to our skills is compromised
• Just merely OBSERVING the breath can be a profoundly beneficial exercise
• We can down regulate our nervous system simply by observing our breath
• Think of the opportunities golf can provide to explore the impact that breath focus can have on your game

The ability to RESPOND instead of REACT

Breathing, the low hanging fruit to develop a better mindset on the golf course. Everyone has that tool, but not a lot of people know how to use it. It's free, it's always available and the effects are instantaneous. There's nothing "woowoo" about observing your breath. It's the first step and it's a skill, plain and simple.

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
