This episode of Putting performance principles is all about your attitude and how a simple mindset change could improve your achievements on the greens.

In this series as a whole, you will be asked to consider the ‘art of putting’. This will involve ensuring that your mind is in the best place to allow your putting stroke to come out on a more natural basis. The ultimate aim of the series is to help you to hole more putts, shoot lower scores and have more fun on the golf course.

Karl Morris, one of Europe’s leading Performance Coaches who has worked with and achieved success with SIX Major winners and over a 100 PGA Tour, European Tour, LPGA and Ladies European Tour golfers.

He has built a solid reputation as someone who will help you get the best out of the ability you have, no matter what the level.  He has consistently produced outstanding results for clients at ALL LEVELS of sport and business with a practical and applicable approach based on real world experience as opposed to classroom theory.

Karl has also provided consultancy to the PGA of Great Britain and Europe and he has presented seminars all over the world such as the Australian PGA, South African PGA, German PGA, Swedish PGA, Dutch PGA, Belgian PGA, GUI and the Hong Kong Golf Association, to name a few.

Also, working with top class amateurs, he has been consulted by numerous Walker Cup and Curtis Cup players all the way through the game to aspiring amateurs or simply club golfers who just know there is something missing.

However, golf is not the only sport in which Karl has enjoyed success.  Three of his most personal passion sports are cricket, rugby league and football.  He often recalls how the greatest thrill he has achieved with his work was when he worked with Michael Vaughan in the run up to England winning The Ashes in 2005.  Then, he was engaged with Huddersfield Giants during the time when they won the League Championship in 2013, the first time they finished top of the league in 81 years. More recently one of his Premiership football clients Tom Heaton made his full England debut.
