This is 100X more useful than the vast majority of videos on youtube. Most are so ball focused and it's killing them. It's not what folks want to hear, but it is what folks need to hear. Love your channel.
I play golf with my father and a friend of his, and the two of them are both in their late 70's. After playing with them several times, it suddenly occurred to me that this friend of my dad's hit the ball as though he didn't care where it went. His swing was loose, easy and smooth and he didn't look like he was working very hard at all, in fact he didn't even look interested lol. This was the moment that I realized I was WAY too tense and I needed to make a drastic change in my thinking and my swing. It is remarkably difficult to convince yourself to stop trying so hard because it's such a 'reflex'. But I swear to you, the slower I swing and the looser I am with my body, the better I play.
Absolutely wonderful video for the average golfer...I had no idea to correlate anxiety and skill together. I played this course two weeks ago and had more anxiety than skill.
The last two seconds I realised I had no shoes on. Put totally right and I’m glad I watch this anxiety needs to be low for me to do well that day. Sometimes I wait in the car park for people to leave the driving range but other days I walk in straight away And hit them really well
I play with two main people. My best friend who breaks 80s consistently, and my cousin whom I stared golfing with. When I play with my cousin I do 200% better. I've broke 80 before. We're drinking beer, joking, smoking and having a blast. With my friend I'm much more competitive and I blow it. You've gotten lessons, you know the right posture and swing, but your own damn mind is keeping you from killing it and wanting to kill yourself. I'm so guilty of this. My ADD goes apeshit and I freak out. I'm tense as a board and rather than that fluid snap, I'm rigid and trying to kill it.
Your issues mirrors mine identically. I had buddies I used to always played with and we had fun but I moved away for a job about 3 years ago. I decided to join a golf club close to my new home with the idea of meeting some people but since everyone is so damn serious about their golf game, it has sucked all the fun out of it for me. Now, I struggle every time I play…I literally have fairly severe anxiety when I’m on the tee box. After that I tend to calm down but it really sucks. I was an 11 and I’m creeping up to a 13 now. It’s debilitating.
Its bloody true , im still like this , last month I played 9 hole with my dad , i was doing so bad , till when we reach the 8th hole i told myself fuck it i aint gonna think about it any and dont care about anything , suddenly it gets better and better , and then when i start thinking about my prep again it goes downhill hill again

Thank you. First instructor that has talked about how to calm yourself on the course

This also explains why you say when you are relaxed, you play better
Absolutely! We appreciate you watching Star! Sorry for the delayed response, the notifications got turned off somehow. Have fun playing golf :).
Thanks. Simple. I needed that.

Now you put the wrong thing in like you were a hobbit on Halloween at a grocery store 🤔
Im a 10 handicap on the range and a 30+ on the course 😅😅

The harder you try on the course … the harder the game becomes … thank you for sharing your experience Jason
Great video! Breatheeeeeeee.
........"ouuuutttt"!
“There not doing shit with it” 😂👏👏
Great video!! Thanks!!!
Clear your mind of any negative thoughts think of all the good ones you hit visualize the shot then hit the ball. Easy at that 💯🤔
Fantastic!
Great video. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
2:25!! LOL!!!
90 degrees the course is cheeper I ratther pay more to play in the spring especially in Myrtle beach 💯🤔
the best players actually need anxiety to play play they channel that energy to get into the zone
Now I know why I play much better at the driving range..... no anxiety 🥵
I like this but why no shoes
Thank you for writing … glad you enjoyed
Are shoes necessary to make a golf video?
