Tourette's and My Golf Game | Making a Major Change
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- I finally decided and thought of a way to try and make this change in my golf game. Not a swing change or anything mechanical, but instead an adjustment to my pre-shot routine that I believe, if effective, will greatly help my golf game. Hope you enjoy and thank you for watching!
Bubbie, never doubt, you are a great man!
Not only are you being open about something that a lot of people have trouble being open about but, you aren't just using it as a method of getting views, or getting sympathy or anything like that. You are trying to help yourself and others thru your experiences.
Also, instead of living like there is nothing you can do, you are trying to find solutions. You're a boss, bro!
*BTW* don't let Grant see you doing range training without an alignment stick!!
Once you plant your feet and have your alignment, try doing small and slow club waggles. It looks like once your body starts moving, you can control it. But once you pause prior to your swing, it looks like the ticks kick in again. Basically don’t stop moving til you’ve completed your swing.
I like that idea! Imma try that! Thank ya!
I was thinking that too! Glad you mentioned it.
Great idea !
@@BubbieGolf Joo gotta waggle dat shit. Den smack dat shit. Dassit!
Thank you for sharing this. You give us a look at what it’s like to be you. You deal with it well. I’m thankful you are strong enough to let us in. Keep it up and we are proud of you.
What a great human Bubbie is. Your parents will be very proud of who they raised Bubbie. Hitting some little tings on up in this joint🤙🤙
Bubble,
You are an inspiration. I started playing golf in 1976, when I was 10. In 1986, age 17, I was hit with Young Onset Parkinsons Disease and now 36 years later I am 53 and still fighting Parkinsons as well as playing golf. Although I don't have any distance from the tee, I still play and love the game. So keep fighting through the ticks and keep inspiring all you come in contact with. Love your Instagram too.
Be cool Bro
The sheer will you have to minimize certain aspects of Tourette’s is huge and I have so much respect for that. The strategy that you came up with is really smart. That’s got me thinking if golfers should implement a system to help improve their scoring average and overall mechanics.
I have similar tics so what I do is when I get over the ball, I take a deep breath and relax everything then exhale slowly and as you finish exhaling swing. Hope this helps
Waters Creek! Love the progress Bubbie…. Funny thing is… “Bubbie” is the same nickname for my son! Been that way his whole life. 28 years! Keep working my friend! Love the videos!
I really appreciate you showing clearly that a disability does NOT define who you are or what you are capable of doing.
Bubbs deserves so many more subs... 100K here we come 🚀🚀🚀
Really cool that you are documenting your approach to this. I bet your verbalization of what you are trying combined with video footage could be useful to researchers.
Awesome to see this Bubbie! You are very inspirational! I'm sure making this change will bring about more consistency in the long run, stick with it!
I’ve been golfing for over half of my life and I have Tourette’s to. It’s definitely tough but manageable. Glad to see there is someone I can relate to:) keep up the good work bubbie!!
Try to put the 1 2. 3 4 into a song you know well , then before setup start the song in your head leading up to the 1 2 3 4 ? It may be enough to sidetrack your ticks . Keep up the great work my man , your an inspiration to us all ❤
It seems like it will definitely help you loosen up, and maybe not be as tense and take away some pressure of hitting the perfect shot. I love your dedication and passion brother! You are definitely a gift to us! Keep moving forward is the key. Love ya man.
Bubbie this I think will help me so much with just the straight yips even. Thank you for making these and being so raw - it’s super helpful to see you work through your game. Please keep making videos like this.
I just want to know how 4 people could dislike this video!! Bubbie you are very inspirational and a great dude. I support you in anything you wanna do bro. Keep up the awesome videos
Dude, as a golfer I’ve loved watching Good Good and the boys kill it, but man I’m glad it lead me to your channel. You’re such a good dude man, keep it up.
Bubbie golf....??? Love good good, but you are my man in the good good crew. Most real dude putting out golf content on youtube. I am listen to mac miller tiny desk right now.... You are such a positive dude!! I am right there with you as an average/upper average golfer. I fight that "hard" fade.. slash slice.. haha. No matter what is going on you have mad positivity and I commend you and wish I had that outlook. Maybe if I was playing golf on youtube for a living, I would have that same outlook? haha... good for you!! It's a BEAUTIFUL thing!!!... music is a beautiful thing. haha do you, my man!!
I have been wathcing your videos back after finding good good a few months ago. Honestly, it seems like your tics and tourette's is more managed know or comes up less in your golf game and vlogging. Maybe you are strategic about how you get in front of the camera, or maybe not. But you seem like you are doing really great these days in front of the camera. Love you Bubbie!
I don't have turrets and I stand over the ball for that long or longer. And you are a way better golfer than I am.
Bubbie, love the videos. A friend of mine has Tourette’s, and if he needs to concentrate on something, he will sort of sing or hum a tune lightly to himself while he is doing whatever he is doing that needs concentration. I have seen elsewhere that singing is well know to suppress tics. I’m not sure if it would work for you with your golf swing, but I just thought I’d let you know about it. Keep up the great vids. You are an inspiration to me and many others.
Bubby I've got a problem over the ball. Sometimes I go to hit the ball and I stop. I put my club right behind it and go to swing but I stop before my club leaves the ground. It's in my head it's not right even though it is. And also I've got tremors and struggle to tee the ball up. I'm going to try this on my iron shots. Your a cool dude and such a inspiration to a lot of people. Keep on pushing.
Your swing and ball striking are getting so much better Bubbie! Thank you for being real and sharing your ideas with your fans.
I'm truly happy that , that is what you took away from all those comments brother ! Just be you . With all the people you have following you and the Good Good crew , you should realize you are awesome exactly as you are !
Your positive attitude is infectious, keep doing what you do
All your videos make my day better! Thanks for the awesome content
Ayyyy I appreciate the love! Thank you!
I absolutely love watching you create something and work on a good routine to help you become a better player and work on your game through anything... you're awesome
Cubs fan at heart!!! That’s right Bubbie! Keep up the grind brotha!
Dude you’re so real, enjoy all your videos! Stay authentic broski and can’t wait until you get your 1st GG solo dub 💪🏽🔥
Mad respect for you Bubbie, constantly working and fighting to improve!
Go Tigers! Beat the Sox 2 in a row after winning the last 3 series with the Rays, Brewers and Sox. The Tigers are a year or 2 away from being a very, very good team. They had a terrible April and May but after that the kids got it figured out. Hinch should be manager of the year. The future is bright for the Tigers! I always enjoy your videos Tom!
Bubbie, I’m proud to subscribe to you man. You open up a way for lovers of golf continue to love the game, shamelessly, no matter their struggle. You stick to getting better and helping your fans. Keep it up my guy. #Chicago
Well there you go again helping me with my swing thought issues that I have. I'm going to try this counting technique at the range asap and then on the course. Thanks again and keep up the great work.
Bubbie - If you're changing the way you set up to the ball, make sure you practice with an alignment stick so you don't screw up your alignment on the course. Good luck man!
Everyone have their struggles! Everyone should be a little nicer to each other as we all are sturggling with something. Good on you for being open with yours. Keep doning your ting!
I like this idea, and I think over time it'll prove more and more beneficial. Keep up the good work man, your swing is looking great!
One other thing, don't stress about getting to each number at the same time, especially on different clubs. (If that makes sense). Like it might take a little longer to get to step 2 on some swings and that's all good. Just use the numbers as a point of reference on where your at and not a problem of where you might not be at yet..
Great job dude. Just talking about it I'm sure helps not only you but others dealing with it. Keep it up your doing great !
Bubbie, you are the man! I’m always rooting for you in the good good videos.
I can't claim to understand but I'll say this as it applies to all golfers. Be at your ball & ready to hit when it's your turn. As long as you do that I don't wouldn't care about some extra time to pull the trigger. Go Tigers!! 😔
You're a legend mate! Much love from Australia
I have an idea for you Bubbie: When standing behind the ball and looking down the line at your target, pick out a spot or divot, or a dent in the grass somewhere in front of the golf ball on the line and as close to the ball as possible. Then walk up and address the ball, look at the target ONCE, then look down at your spot and let that be ONE, set your body (or tuck & tuck your sleeve) TWO, start the backswing THREE, and let it go FOUR. You will then hit the target line and all your movements will be smooth and stable, resulting in much more success. Because you've already calculated the distance and target line, so the mind is freed up to just go.
Is this why when you first came in to Good Good you would putt from like anywhere inside 20 yards? I always just thought it was your confidence in chipping but this is making a lot of sense. Love your stuff man, stay gold. 🤙🏻
Bubbie ur a blessing to the world brother.
Keep on keepin’ on dude. We love you, bubs.
BUBBIE GOLF! Good heart and head on ya brother, its why u are a good good fit! From a fellow IL man, keep repping that and the TINGS!!
This is crazy!!! I knew something was up but never saw the first video about your Tourette’s … keep it up Bubbie love the positivity and your golf game is definitely coming around with the boys!!!!!
Even people who dont struggle with tourettes, have issues with standing over the ball. Kevin Na used to have a BAD time standing over the ball. Love to see you progress your game and push the limits of what is publicly known about the average golfer. All love for ya Bubby
I have a friend who I play with and is a single digit handicapper. He plays a lot and is usually pretty quick to set up and hit. I hadn't played with him in a few weeks and he had all of a sudden gotten the yips with short putts inside of like 5 feet. He literally sat there for 30 to 45 seconds looking like he was going to swing but just couldn't. It was tough to watch, not because I was in a hurry, but I just wanted him to be able to clear his head and go for it. I know it's a completely different situation, but it happens to the best of us. Just gotta deal with it and play the best you can til you figure it out, I guess. Bubbie is the man for being so public to try and help others who may deal with similar situations.
Keep being you Bubbie helping so many with your platform
I think you are on to something. There was a country singer named Mel Tillis that had a fairly bad stuttering problem when he was talking normally. But he found that when he had the structure of the rhythm of the song and knew what he was going to sing - he could sing perfectly, with no stuttering. This also touches on Focal Dystonia, also known as "the yips" - the best way to battle Dystonia is to give the brain some new and different inputs - this is why there are so many alternate putting grips (left hand low, split grip, long putter, the claw, etc.).
Your positivity is unparalleled, keep up the hard work man!
Keep working on this move it will come and if it makes you more comfortable that is the goal. Keep up the good work.
Great vid, Bubbie! I can empathize with you...really! I have a suggestion, you may have already explored, but take a look at Matt Wolff's "trigger". Maybe giving this a try could help. Take care.
Bubble golf we love you man you need to come to Utah and play with us
Anybody else thankful bubbie is in good good? What a perfect addition! Keep it up bubba
Keep on being you man! Never change Love your content and how you are real!
Adding some kind of JT style waggle may help convince your mind/body that it’s time to start the backswing because you’re performing those beginning motions and help the ticks calm down but hey idk 🤷♂️
Bro i never see u tick on good good vids or anything. Hope this stuff works out for u buddy, keep goin
You should talk to a sports psychologist because some of sports psychology techniques could help with your preshot routine. I don’t have any ticks but I use breathing techniques when I throw hammer and it helped me so much in my pre throw routine
Thanks for sharing I do the same thing when I'm golfing some days are bad some not so much.
Love this Bubbie, keep rolling brother!
If everyone had Bubbies positivity the world would be a better place. You’re doing great bro 👊👊
regardless of the Tourette's that is a really solid pre shot routine can't wait to see the improvements this will bring in your game
Keep up the good work and bringing awareness to tourettes syndrome.
Good job keep up the great work you will be rewarded!
You're an inspiration to all! Keep it moving forward bud!
good stuff bubbie, hopefully you can put something good together soon!
Thanks Bubbie for speaking out about this. I have a question. Since you mentioned that when you are talking you normally don't have as much tics. Have you ever tried talking through your swing setup? I know it's unconventional but was just wondering?
Just keep sticking with it. It will get more comfortable as you keep doing it. Try like a couple waggles. seems the twitch is more in control when your moving and the body is loose
Hey it’s awesome that you’re opening up about this! I had a question if you don’t mind me asking. With you playing baseball before, did you have the same mindset with “getting the ticks out” before pitching or batting? Or was it just a different feeling for you? No hate here, I was just curious.
Love that finish on your range swing. Your follow through on course seems sawed off a lot like you’re trying to knock it down. I notice it with your mid to long irons. Not sure if it’s on purpose but either way, striking it well. 👍🏻
Love the idea. Maybe even take the count and double it, to give yourself a steady pace before you implement you new found techniques. (Like a 1-2-3-4, 1tuck shirt 2 grab club 3 take a look 4 start swing. You may find the count soothing idk just a thought
Love all your videos your attitude about everything is amazing keep on working I know you will figure it out.
Try making your final trigger a SLIGHT forward hand press... It has worked wonders for me... It's a nice comfortable trigger that doesn't feel forced. Once I feel that slight hand press, my reaction is comfortable just "GO".
The Philosophy of the rich and the poor is this:the rich invest their money and spend what is left. The poor spend their money and invest what is left".
How many millionaires do you know who have become wealthy by investing in savings account? I rest my case
Investing for today is priceless because tomorrow isn't promised, trading Bitcoins,gold,silver, and Crypto secure a better Tomorrow.....
Interesting, most people don't understand the market moves and tend to be mislead infacts like this and always depend on money in the bank very bad idea.
I understand the fact that tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, but investing today is a hard thing to do because I have no idea of how and where to invest in?
When the money realizes that is in good hands,it wants to stay and multiply in those hands, if you really want to make points out of money you've got, you have to take it out of your savings account
love you bub, you killin it too, golf and life
You’re a stud bubbie! Lets freakin gooooo
I understand what you are saying still if don't have tourettes/ticks. You got it bubbie much love dude.
Keep being you Bubbie! Youre the man!
You should also do that for your pitch and chip shots. I know thats a struggling part of your game. That might help with your consistency. Just an idea.
let’s goooo bubbie golf is a legend
Yes Sir !!! Go White Sox baby. 2022 World Series. Let’s play a round of golf somewhere sometime.
Hi bubbie, didn’t even notice you had them til now. My advice would be to check out the zen golfer on here. Watch his videos and even drop him a message I’m sure he’d be happy to help. He’s a big believer of a trigger that starts the motion in order to activate the right forces in order to move the club. Maybe some of this can help you out 👌
We love to see it Bub 🙌🏼❤️
Bubbie Golffff!!!
I’m thinking, most of us run through the process the same as you, however your tics make you stall out quick. Try this, set up, sleeve in the pit, look down range, and then wait to get those tics out. Don’t start your count until after you’ve already gripped and brought the front foot forward. Look down range #1, Back to ball #2, start your back swing #3, make #4 contact and follow through. I understand your frustrations, and I can see you’re not only frustrated with yourself, but I think you worry to much about the playing partners giving you crap for taking so long, and then exacerbates more tics on the next shot. The Good Good maniacs love you, and accept you for being you, tics and all. If you are having a bad tics day, joke about it (I’m sure you do) and with those maniacs surrounding you, show them you are doing this for them as much as you. You know they understand or you wouldn’t have been asked to be apart of the greatest golf content on RUclips. Keep up the grind and the positive mental attitude, and hope to see you speed up your routine for your own relief. As viewers, and loyalists to the GG and All the solo projects, we don’t see it anyway because it gets cut in editing. Get Some T-Bubbie!
Fellow Cubs fan here as well, been a tough year this year.
I have epilepsy and I have found some good medicine to help the seizures go away. I was a 6 handicap and I take care of my dad who has parkinson's. It will be a while before I can play seriously but thanks for being vulnerable
I tell you what bubbie, that swing is looking 👌 regardless
Aye this joint is fire Bubbie
I hope this helps you. Good idea. Getting stuck over the ball is not comfortable
How are you implementing breathing into this? I feel like having a routine where you use your breathing to get comfortable could help. Good luck dude.
Mostly Everybody has something they battle with. Whatever it may be, ur not alone.
Keep working bubbie. The grind is real
Seems like the ticks are at the beginning of the count. Wonder if you should set your hands before you walk in and start your count from behind the ball. Maybe 2 sets of 4 counts (since counting to 5 or 6 might be odd).
Both hands on the club then walk in to set behind the ball and just keep repeating 1-4 count before the walk in. Just a thought, no idea what your dealing with. Assume it's like having too many swing thoughts and having trouble starting the swing until you review them in your mind first.
Tempo looks a little fast taking the club back, just try taking it back a little slower and see if it helps with ball flight and direction.
Well done!
Go Tigers 🐅, good stuff sir
How do the boys react to your ticks and wait? Would love to see some clips of them, supporting or addressing it?
Man want to see ya win a golf knockout! You deserve it bro
