  • Stop Trying to Play Good Golf. Start Shooting Good Scores. | Will Robins' Scoring Method

    Stop Trying to Play Good Golf. Start Shooting Good Scores. | Will Robins' Scoring Method
    Oct 8 2026

    What if the secret to shooting lower golf scores isn’t improving your swing — but completely changing the way you play golf?

    Golf is a scoring game. So why do so many of us spend hours working on our swings, only to see the same disappointing numbers on our scorecards?

    This week on How Low Can You Go?, Dave and Chris are joined by Will Robins, award-winning PGA golf coach and creator of The Scoring Method, a revolutionary approach to golf improvement that focuses on helping golfers shoot lower scores with the game they already have.

    And Will has a remarkable story. After surviving the devastating 2004 Boxing Day tsunami in Thailand while on his honeymoon, his life and golfing career took an extraordinary turn.

    In Part 1 of this fascinating two-part conversation, Will challenges almost everything we think we know about getting better at golf.

    We explore:

    • Why better golf swings don’t necessarily mean lower scores — and why so many golfers are working on the wrong things.
    • The expectations trap — how frustration, pressure and tension can destroy your ability to perform.
    • Train hard, play easy — why your practice sessions might actually be setting you up to fail on the course.
    • Breaking 90, breaking 80 and breaking through scoring barriers — how to turn your existing ability into better results.
    • The Four Gears of Golf — Will’s brilliant approach to course management, risk and playing to your ability.
    • Stop making doubles and triples — why eliminating big numbers is often far more important than chasing birdies.

    Dave also reveals how applying Will’s advice several years ago helped him shoot 86 when he was struggling to break 90.

    Whether you’re a high-handicap golfer desperate to break 100, a mid-handicapper chasing 80, or a low-handicapper trying to reach scratch, this conversation could fundamentally change the way you approach the game.

    Because golf isn’t about how good your swing looks. It’s about how many shots it takes to get the ball in the hole.

    Discover The Scoring Method

    Will’s Scoring Method helps golfers improve their course management, develop a better golfing mindset and practise with purpose — without necessarily rebuilding their golf swings.

    Coming in Part 2

    We get even more practical, exploring how to build a reliable tee shot, develop genuine competence under pressure, use your handicap intelligently and start turning good golf into consistently lower scores.

    Want to play golf freely when the score actually matters? Dr Raymond Prior explains HOW to change the mental patterns that hold golfers back under pressure.In Part 2 of our conversation with Dr Raymond Prior, author of Golf Beneath the Surface, we move from understanding the problem to doing something about it.Last week was about Permission to Fail — why golfers struggle to play freely when they care deeply about the result.This week, Raymond explains how to actually fix it.What work can you do away from the golf course to change your relationship with failure, pressure and other people's opinions? Why isn't simply understanding your golf psychology enough? And what happens when your brain tries to drag you straight back into the same old patterns?We also get into one of the biggest issues facing any golfer who is working hard to improve:EXPECTATION.Dave has been practising, taking lessons and seeing genuine signs of improvement — so why aren't the scores coming?Raymond explains why expecting your hard work to produce better golf on your timetable can become a trap — and why the pursuit of improvement is very different from demanding a particular outcome.Chris, meanwhile, gives a fascinating real-world example of what can happen when you stop protecting your score and start playing freely — including how that mindset helped him shoot 67 twice.We also discuss:How to change your golf mindset and play with more freedomDealing with fear of failure and performance anxiety in golfWhy changing your mental game requires repsExpectations versus improvementPlaying under pressure and entering a flow stateWhy golfers start protecting a good scoreTaking swing changes from the driving range to the golf courseBlock practice vs random practiceWhy making a swing change might mean accepting worse scores in the short termIf you've ever worked hard at your golf, expected to get better, and then wondered why you still can't produce it when it matters, this episode is for you.DR RAYMOND PRIOR — GOLF BENEATH THE SURFACEDr Raymond Prior is a performance consultant and author of Golf Beneath the Surface: The New Science of Golf Psychology.

  • Permission to Fail | Dr Raymond Prior on Playing Golf Freely

    Permission to Fail | Dr Raymond Prior on Playing Golf Freely
    Sep 25 2026
    What if the secret to playing better golf is giving yourself permission to fail?This week on How Low Can You Go?, performance psychologist and Golf Beneath the Surface author Dr Raymond Prior returns for a fascinating conversation about the mental game of golf, playing under pressure and why trying desperately to avoid mistakes can actually make them more likely.Dave has improved this season. His handicap is coming down. He reached the semi-final of his club championship.But the breakthrough he's been chasing still hasn't arrived.And in that semi-final, something happened that every competitive golfer will recognise.His opponent started to fall apart.Instead of thinking, let's go and win this, Dave started thinking:Just don't screw this up more than he does.What followed wasn't pretty.Raymond explains why our brains don't simply distinguish between "positive" and "negative" thoughts. Instead, he describes the battle between pursuit and avoidance — and why thoughts like don't hit it left, don't make double or don't mess this up can completely change the task we're giving our brain.We get into:Why trying not to hit the bad golf shot can create a two-way missPursuit vs avoidance and what it means for golfersWhy "just swing freely" is much harder than it soundsPlaying under pressure in match play and team golfWhy the best performers need to be willing to failThe relationship between stable confidence and failureWhy caring about what other people think can affect your golfWhat it actually means to play golf freelyAnd eventually, Raymond turns the conversation back onto Dave.After all the practice, lessons, coaching, podcast conversations and time invested in getting better at golf, has Dave created another problem?Has his score started to feel like it needs to justify all of that investment?And if it has… how do you fix it?That's where we'll leave Part One.Part Two coming next week.DR RAYMOND PRIOR — GOLF BENEATH THE SURFACEDr Raymond Prior is a performance consultant and author of Golf Beneath the Surface: The New Science of Golf Psychology.
