The aim of Mind Caddie is for you as a golfer to not drown in information but to take lessons that are applicable to where your game is at and then follow Karl’s advice in the lessons, followed by journalling and scorecard keeping.
If you are unsure how to use Mind Caddie, here are a few suggestions.
1) START HERE - THE FUNDAMENTALS COURSE
The best place to start is the Fundamentals course. Throughout this course, Karl introduces core ideas that are central to everything else found within Mind Caddie.
a) Listen to the lessons
b) Complete the journal exercises set in the lessons
c) Revist this series at least once a season to monitor progress
2) BEFORE YOU PLAY - LESSONS
The day before you play or the morning of, follow these tips.
a) Visit the Discover tab and select ‘Before you Play’
b) Here you can filter the lessons for specific areas of your game, such as driving. Pick a lesson and get some advice to help clear your mind before you play.
c) If you can’t find the specific lesson you need, then click the Discover tab in the menu and use the search bar at the top to find something specific to you.
BEFORE YOU PLAY - COMMITMENTS
One recurring theme you will hear throughout Mind Caddie is the theme of commitments. If you haven’t listened to this, it is fundamental. You can find the lesson by going to the Discover tab, searching Commitments, and listen to ‘Commitments for the day’.
a) Visit the Coaching tab, click Journal > Commitments > press the + button >, and make your commitment.
Do this every time before you play. Consistency is key.
3) AFTER YOU PLAY
JOURNAL
There are many journal entries you can make and this is your personal space, but we recommend after every round, preferably the same day, you fill in the Quick Note template.
This allows you to build up a bank of shots that strengthen the mind for future games. Again, if you have followed the Fundamentals course, you will know the importance of journalling which is all backed by science.
a) Coaching tab > Journal > Quick Notes > + sign > complete your entry and press save.
