The many secrets of Hogan – A deep dive with Jim Waldron #392
2026/1/16 | 58 mins.
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

The Secrets to Transferring your range game to the Golf Course – Will Wu and John Dunigan #391
2026/1/09 | 55 mins.
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

Exposing why golf lessons fail and the smarter path to real, lasting improvement
Today we spend time with top coach Lawrie Montague from Australia to discuss his wonderful book
The No B.S. Guide to Buying a Better Golf Swing
We had a wonderful conversation about Lawrie's views on coaching
Why so many people are trying to learn swing as opposed to learning how to PLAY golf
How the marketing machine for golf swing has overtaken the student's real NEEDS
How data is often just focused on past history and doesn't open to the possibilities of the future
Focusing more on the POTENTIAL future
Finding out what a player REALLY wants
Why the student is not to blame when learning is not happening
What is getting in the way of learning
The importance of clarity in GOAL SETTING
Generating student led questions
Why students are being taught not coached
Seeing your golf clubs as TOOLS to use. Solving the problems the golf course presents to you
A really informative session with a top coach who has made such a valuable contribution to the game

The 'No Thought' State Why your intellect could be holding you back - Dicken Bettinger #389
2025/12/26 | 1h 17 mins.
Today on the Brain Booster we welcome back a wonderful guest in Dicken Bettinger.
Dicken completely changed his approach to psychology after meeting Syd Banks and understanding the 'Three Principles'
He then spent over twenty years studying with Syd and is now acknowledged as one of the world's leading teachers of the principles.
During a very wide ranging conversation we discussed the ideas of Mind, Consciousness and Thought
How we spend so much time trying to 'control' things with the intellect
Trying harder
Thinking more
Being so involved with our thoughts
Trying to 'change' our experience
Why the intellect alone cannot solve our problems and issues
Understanding what WISDOM is and how we can learn to trust it more
A deeper intelligence when we are fully PRESENT
A quiet mind that is FULLY PRESENT
A KNOWING that cannot be explained
How to access true WISDOM
How the intellect creates tension and upset
The limitations of trying to 'think' positive
No human being can 'think' their way to contentment
The 'NO THOUGHT' state
What is it?
How is it accessed
A really wonderful conversation with Dicken to get you to consider just how much our intellect is trying to run the show.
There is another way and Dicken explains beautifully what it is.
