Here’s the transcription of the conversation between Andy Brown and Dr Karl Morris:

Andy: Karl, is there any way that I can conquer my first tee nerves? I mean, we all get it to some degree. What’s your take on that?

Karl: The take that we’ve had the last few years that seems to have worked well with all of the plays is the concept of what is nervousness? Well, nervousness is actually a feeling in your body. It’s a sensation running through your system. Now, as kids we were all told, “When you get to the first tee and you’re feeling these things in your body, it’s ‘first tee nerves’. And immediately, the perception is that these feelings are bad.

Well, just imagine as a kid if you were told that when you get to the first tee, these feelings that you get are actually first tee energy? All of a sudden, you’d actually look forward to those feelings. It’s actually resisting the feeling that’s the problem. You know, Tiger Woods, when he’s walking to the first tee in the Masters, I guarantee you he’ll be getting certain feelings through his body. But what he’s learned to do, he’s learned to channel those feelings and not see it as a bad thing.
I remember years ago reading that Jack Nicklaus talked about it. He said that he didn’t win majors. He waited for other people to lose them. But he said, “Just give me that feeling on the back nine of a major. That’s what I hit all the balls for.” He didn’t say, “Give me that feeling of nervousness.”

Andy: Just give a feeling.

Karl: So in his mind he created a label that this feeling was a good thing. So that would be one of the things to reframe the actual term ‘nervousness’ as an energy, but also then learn how to control it a little bit more. And one of the most effective ways is breathing. And centuries old advice has been around far longer than any of us have, a lot of the Eastern traditions talk about this.

It’s pretty much impossible to maintain a state of nervousness and breathe correctly. And nervousness, you actually have to be in the future thinking about what might happen to be nervous. Now, when you bring your attention to your breathing, not only are you physically starting to calm down, but mentally, you’re right back here in the now, in the moment. So, just that simple process of focusing on breathing. And we’ve all heard it, but very few people do it and in practice it’s really profound.

Ultimately you want to include as much variety as possible from the cheese world. This means including different textures, milks and flavours. Thus you could include cow’s milk, sheep’s milk, goat’s milk, soft, semi firm, hard and cheese blue.

Alternatively you can base your cheese plate on different textures from the one kind of milk, for example five cheeses all made from sheep’s milk.

The couple married on April 29 at Westminster Abbey and beforehand took this opportunity to visit the place they met and fell in love, he said it was like “coming home”. This was first visit since graduating back 2005 and he was quick to say he considers it the best university in the world.

The Isle of Mull Cheddar is a traditional artisan farmhouse cheese. Made at Sgriob-ruadh Farm, close to the town of Tobermory, this is definitely a cheese you should try.

Corra Linn is a sweet and nutty cheese made from sheep’s milk which is matured in cloth for between six and ten months. It’s handmade at Walston Braehead Farm in Lanark, South Lanarkshire.

Dunsyre Blue is a mould ripened hand made cheese from Walston Braehead Farm. They take the unpasteurised milk from the neighbouring cows at Kirklands Farm Dunsyre.

Next time you are in St Andrews I highly recommend you visit The Guid Cheese Shop just off South Street in Burghers Close.

The par 4 7th is a long tough hole at 470 yards from the championship tees. It’s important to miss the large hollow on the left side of the green, as recovering from here can be tricky.
