From Triple Bogeys to Birdie… Lessons from Karl Morris (Driving Home from Gullane)

Triple. Triple. Triple. After attending a seminar with world-renowned golf performance coach Karl Morris, you’d think things would improve… Instead, Dave heads to Gullane No. 1 and shoots one of his worst rounds in years. In this episode of How Low Can You Go, we record straight from the car on the way home — breaking down exactly what went wrong, why the round spiralled, and what we can learn from it. We dive into: Why golfers fall apart under pressure The biggest mistakes that lead to blow-up holes Why practice (especially indoors) doesn’t always transfer to the course Course management errors that cost shots How to respond when your game disappears mid-round We also unpack the most powerful insights from Karl Morris’ seminar, including: Why he prefers “green prediction” over green reading How understanding water flow on greens can transform your putting The importance of low point control in ball striking The “ones, twos and threes” framework for scoring Why the famous “never up, never in” advice might actually be hurting your game Along the way, we reference ideas from Scott Fawcett and Adam Young — and show how these concepts actually apply on the course, not just in theory. Whether you’re trying to break 100, break 90, or simply play more consistent golf, this episode is packed with practical golf tips, mental game insights, and course management strategies you can use immediately. Because sometimes… it's your worst rounds that teach you the most. 🎧 Listen now and start turning bad rounds into better golf. 🎓 Mind Factor Certification – Listener Offer We’re delighted to be supporting Karl’s Mind Factor Online Certification, where his life’s work in golf performance, mindset and skill-access is brought together in one in-depth programme for golfers and coaches. 💷 £100 OFF with promo code HOWLOW 🔗 https://themindfactor.net/product/mind-factor-online-certification-course/ 📺 YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@HowLowCanYouGoPodcast 📸 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/howlowcanyougopodcast/ 💌 Contact → howlowcanyougopodcast@gmail.com 🏨 Big shout out to The Leddie Hotel on Scotland’s Golf Coast.
