Where do you get most of the anxiety on the course?
Off the tee, only with the driver.
@@MriLoveMyLife For me its a bell curve, putter and driver on the ends, mid irons are most difficult for me.
@@MriLoveMyLife do you have a certain shot shape with a driver?

@@MriLoveMyLife hey, if you have a consistent shy shape with the driver you are 90% of the way there! What's the worry with the driver for you?
I stumbled across this video and I really enjoyed what you had to say. I am a high handicapper and get frustrated too easily and I get in my head. What you said in this video really touched a nerve with me and I will take that to the course next time out. Thanks for the help!
@@oneiwally1 Good luck out there! Good news is, once you start getting the mental on track then you can easily become a mid handicapper without doing anything differently in the swing (for the most part)
Ditto what @oneiwally1 said.
I call golf therapy. I always played Links 2003 after work to relieve stress and keep loose. Now I've used it to relieve the stress of not being in my apartment and being able to play piano.
I drowned myself in golf for the last 6 months. It helped me from being severely depressed.
@@Keith-zc2nn hey! I'm glad to hear that. I'm making a whole video on golf and helping depression.
You don’t know how bad I needed this video. Thanks for creating this content. I get down on myself after hitting a bad shot, thinking that people are laughing at me whether they are or not and it just spirals out of control. Thanks again, instant subscribe.
@@curtisvincent4104 good thing to remind ourselves of is that everyone else is in their head too.
lmao.

Positive focus is huge. The difference between "Don't hit left" and "Hit right" is missed by so many people. I realized this on a par 3 course near my house a few months back. The 3rd and 9th green are right next to each other. I realized one day that I always seemed to hit the 3rd green from the 9th tee. It became an issue. Every time I played there I would end up on the 3rd green and have to take a drop. One day while waiting for the 3rd green to clear (because obviously I am going to hit it from the 9th tee) I realized that I was so focused on NOT hitting the 3rd green that I had not once thought about HITTING the 9th green... I waited for them to clear and shifted my focus to the pin on the 9th, had to step off of the ball three different times as my focus kept jumping back to the 3rd green. Finally got a swing off with my focus on the 9th pin and left myself with an four footer.
Of course the ball doesn't always go where I want but I can look back to previous rounds and pick out specific shots where my focus shifted and I lost a ball because of it or had some other poor result. This is how I got my Driver back into my bag. Built confidence on the range and sim, hit a few "practice" balls on holes during rounds to ease the anxiety over it and one day decided it was time. Only hit 5 fairways that day but shot my personal best score with ease and lost one ball with driver... due to focusing on the water to the left instead of the middle of the fairway (it was the only ball that went left all day).
@@That_Cajun_Guy Exactly! And like you said it's so easy to lose focus for one hole or one shot and things just blow up from there.
For me lately its mid irons. I dont care what I hit with the driver since I am not that good with so I take whatever I can get. But you put me on 110 - 160 yards shot and its going all over the place. Thinned, chunked, pushed, hooked, everything. Par 3s have become my worst holes for some reason. I just lost my swing with those clubs and then anxiety goes up even further. BTW You'd strike it better if you shortened your swing by 15%. Us amateurs should never go parallel to the ground it actually reduces distance and accuracy.
Try half swings. Would you rather hit a nice little crisp 7 iron around 110 yards or go OB again with your PW. Remember that's it's not forever, just until your contact is really good. And it will be if you stick to only half shots and don't rush.
@@nate19 Actually I have nailed down the half swing, its my pitching technique and in past few days I think I figured out why I lost my full swing. I havent been coiling properly. In my half swing I actually feel my back coiling since i stop rotating my hips early on but in my full swing I kept rotation of the hips too long. Will test out in few days but I am 100% confident that was the issue since it feels like it felt last year.
