Stop Chasing “I’ll Be Happy When”: Golf’s Most Dangerous Illusion w/ Karl Morris

1 hour 14 minutes

Performance coach Karl Morris joins the show to discuss a ton of topics, including:

Mindset trap to avoid: the “I’ll be happy when…” illusion - chasing scores or milestones rarely delivers lasting fulfillment; reset what success means to reduce threat and play freer

Reframing golf as a series of puzzles; give your mind a fresh, solvable problem each shot (instead of a vague “one shot at a time”

A simple pre-shot trigger: the “red dot” story—use a visual cue to enter the shot, then ask two fast questions: what picture do I want, and what will it feel like?

And much more!
