Today on The Mind Caddie, I'm joined by Tony Greco from Helix Golf, alongside insights inspired by conversations with Helix co-founders Chris Walkey and Dr Mike Kay, whom I met at the Danish PGA Teaching Summit.

If you've been struggling with consistency, poor contact, or feeling like your golf swing requires too much effort, this episode could completely change how you think about movement, setup and balance.

Tony shares a refreshingly practical approach to golf instruction, biomechanics and efficient motion—challenging many conventional coaching ideas golfers have accepted for years.

In this episode we explore:

⛳ Why many golfers are out of balance at address without realising it
⛳ How poor centre of mass positioning can sabotage your swing before you even start
⛳ Why 90% of golfers may have their weight too far forward at setup
⛳ The dangers of overturning and forcing positions your body cannot support
⛳ Why chasing the latest golf coaching trend can damage your progress
⛳ How better movement patterns create a more natural, athletic golf swing
⛳ Why getting the start position right makes the rest of the swing easier
⛳ How improved balance frees you up to simply play golf shots

Tony's ideas are simple, logical and potentially game-changing for golfers looking to improve consistency, efficiency and ball striking.

Are you overthinking your golf game? In this episode of The Mind Caddie, we're joined by Dr Chris Niebauer, author of No Self, No Problem, to explore how your thinking mind may be holding back your performance.

We dive into the science and psychology behind overthinking, focus, and mental performance—on and off the course. Dr Niebauer explains why the brain is wired for survival, not success, and how this outdated "prediction machine" can interfere with your ability to play freely and instinctively.

If you've ever felt stuck in your head instead of immersed in your game, this conversation will change how you see your mind—and your golf.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why overthinking ruins performance in golf
• The brain's survival bias and constant need to predict
• "If you're thinking, you're not playing"
• How to reconnect with your body and sensory awareness
• Why simplicity beats complexity in sport
• The limits of attention—and how to use it effectively
• The "left brain interpreter" and the illusion of control
• How to stop taking your thoughts so seriously
• Finding freedom without trying to control your mind

This is a powerful, perspective-shifting conversation that will help you play with more freedom, clarity, and trust.

What if the real power in your golf swing doesn't come from your arms… but from the ground beneath your feet?

In this episode of The Mind Caddie, we're joined by world-renowned golf biomechanics expert Scott Lynn to break down ground reaction forces (GRF) — one of the most misunderstood yet powerful elements in modern golf instruction.

If you want more distance, consistency, and control, this conversation could completely change how you think about your swing.

We explore:

• How golfers generate power using the ground
• Why ground reaction forces are the engine of the golf swing
• The role of biomechanics in improving performance
• Why every golfer has a unique "stock movement"
• How to identify and own your natural swing pattern
• The influence of body types (and why one-size-fits-all instruction fails)
• Lessons golf can learn from baseball and other sports
• Why you can't see force — but must learn to feel it
• The importance of balance and pressure at address
• How perception and the brain influence performance

Scott Lynn has helped shape the way elite coaches understand movement, force, and efficiency in the golf swing. This episode is essential listening for golfers, coaches, and anyone serious about long-term improvement.
