Brilliant Trip to Cameron House on Loch Lomond… But We’re Lost With Our Golf (Car journey home)

Struggling with your golf? Dave and Chris open up about lost swings, bad scores, disappearing golf balls and finding your way back to better golf. 

This week on How Low Can You Go?, Dave and Chris are on the road back to Edinburgh after a couple of days at Cameron House and The Carrick on Loch Lomond — and despite the incredible hospitality, breath-taking views and spectacular golf course, both of them are in a bit of a dark place with their games.

Chris is feeling lost.

Dave is losing a lot of golf balls.

And both are wondering how to find their way back.

Recorded in Chris's car immediately after their round at The Carrick, this is a very different kind of HLCYG episode — a completely honest debrief about where their games are at, what has gone wrong, and what they need to do next.

We get into:

The reality of struggling when you're already a good golfer — Chris has recently shot his best-ever round of 67, but now feels completely lost in his swing and is questioning what his fundamentals even are.

Why golf can change so quickly — how one great round can make you feel like you've cracked the game, only for things to unravel again a few rounds later.

The danger of having too much information in your head — Chris admits he's picked up so many ideas from the brilliant coaches and experts we've had on HLCYG that he's no longer sure what to focus on over the ball.

Dave's disappearing golf balls — despite working hard on his driver, Dave finds himself back in trouble off the tee and realises he needs a reliable “fairway finder” between driver and his mid irons.

Playing to your handicap rather than the par on the scorecard — why accepting that you have shots to work with can completely change your decision-making on the course.

Why bogey isn't always a bad score — and why amateurs shouldn't judge their golf against the standards set by professional golfers.

The quest to break 80 — Dave is chasing the milestone that he believes he needs to achieve if he's going to fulfil his ambition of becoming a single-figure golfer.

Chris's swing dilemma — after struggling with his draw, could a fade be the answer?

And then we get to Karl Morris.

Dave reveals how a conversation with Karl helped him go from shooting one of the worst front nines he'd played in years to shooting his best-ever competition round the very next day.

Karl's three words?

Intention. Attention. Attitude.

It's a brilliant example of the mental side of golf actually making a difference on the course — and it leads to a very obvious question:

What if we spent two full days with Karl Morris?

It's a brilliant example of the mental side of golf actually making a difference on the course — and a reminder that sometimes the biggest changes in our golf have nothing to do with our swing.
