In this episode from www.homeofgolf.TV I am joined by Dr Karl Morris one of Europes top golf mental game coaches. Karl works with the following players Darren Clarke, David Howell, Lee Westwood, Paul mcginley, Graeme mcdowell, Richard Finch, Phil Archer, Alison Nicholas and Trish Johnson. Here is the transcription of our 20 minute interview. Andy: Hi and welcome to episode 12 of Home of Golf TV. Today Im joined with Dr Karl Morris, one of Europes leading golf mind coaches. Welcome Karl to the show. Karl: Hi there Andy, thanks. Andy: Now Karl, youve worked with Lee Westwood, Darren Clarke, Paul mcginley, Graeme mcdowell, all the top players in Europe over a fantastic career youve had so far, helping them with their coaching. What tips can you give the viewers, takeaways from their games? Karl: I think the big thing that Ive found over the years is that the individual is sacred and what works for Darren Clarke certainly wouldnt work for David Howell or Paul mcginley. So its very much about finding your own way of playing the game. And one of the big things Ive worked in the last couple of years and its such a simple understanding about the game, but I think its so relevant for everybody that theres really only two things in golf that youre trying to control. Youre trying to control the golf ball and youre trying to control yourself. So that obviously, everybody, they need to keep working on the technical side of the game. They need to find a golf swing and a method that they can trust, but also theres gonna be an element of what do you need to do to control yourself? What are the things that you let yourself down with on the golf course because from Ben Hogan, Tiger Woods, downwards, everybody hits bad shots occasionally, so youre always willing to work on the second part as well as the golf swing. Andy: And the dialogue you would have with Darren Clarke obviously would be different to Lee Westwood I suppose. Karl: It would be completely different. I mean, Darren is probably one of the most gifted players Ive ever seen, if not the most gifted. Hes very much a feel orientated player; plays his best golf in a very non technical approach to the game. Darren gets bogged down by theory occasionally, whereas Lees far more, more of a structured way of approach. He needs to know why hes gonna do something. If theres a good reason for doing it, Lee will go and do it, but very, very different in the plays.
