Use 4 Corners Cannabis CBD. That's what all the pros use. Helps my game too!
@@fendertc90 yes but does that deal with the cause or mask the symptoms?
I spent 28 yrs in the military jumping out of airplanes, Special Operations and 1MA1 Tanker....Did that without self-doubt because I had mental clarity. I've been playing golf for 30yrs this is by far the one of the best videos I have been searching for the remove my self-doubt. My pre-shot routine is entirely too long which more doubt creeps into my golf game causes me to hit bad shots.
thanks BG - let us know how the shortened pre shot routine goes from now on
I've totally noticed the difference with taking less time over the ball and less over-thinking, particularly when I've gotten frustrated with my game after a few poor holes. Ironically when it feels like I'm putting less effort in because I'm having a bit of a sulk, I've started hitting them better. Golf is about repeating the same motion over and over again - your muscle memory knows every millisecond of it, so it's best to step up and hit before thoughts start to interfere with your instinctive process.
Exactly Kane and when you can focus on your target but let go of the desired outcome you will score even better
@@GolfUniversity Thanks for the vid and comment!
@@kanepillers8981 our pleasure - good luck with it all
Thats so well put ✌i face the same ... Try to be casual about it and it becomes shot of the day lol.. Think over it twice and disasterous😀
I practice my backside off, been a Golfpro for 35 years. recently worked on chipping and got to tour level, but as soon as anyone watching, I hit awful shots😢
Almost broke 80 on my second round after trying this process !!! 🙌🏾 Thanks coach!! This is all my mental game needed 😬
Well done Samkelo - what were the biggest changes / things you noticed?
GolfUniversity It just feels like I don’t give my mind time to think about things like: 1. How I must or must not swing. 2. Whether I’m aiming correctly / where not to hit it. 3. And the main one, what my playing partners are thinking or expecting while I’m lingering on the ball. I take a few practice swings while choosing target, (no serious swing thoughts), then step up to the tee and pull the trigger within 5 seconds or a bit more. Not more than 10 seconds. My Swing and my body feel free! Applying it to all my shots (biggest effect is on the tee box though). Fairways hit averaged over 70% the past 2 rounds 😅
@@SamkeloGqoli Sensational - love how you have literally taken what we discussed in the lesson and have applied it word for word - well done - did you watch this other video we created here? It may help even more ruclips.net/video/XCRgXwbKnYA/видео.html
shot 76 last practice right infront of the varsity coach, i was so nervous. never played that bad in my life. mental game was all i needed to fix. thank you coach.
Thank you Jaylyn - glad we could help
That’s not bad but not good
@@isaiasmendoza5199 what do you mean?
This is a great technique to remove the self doubt - and over thinking
I’ve never played a single stroke of traditional golf but I’m an avid disc golfer and figured there would be some good tips to find from golf instructors. I was not disappointed, very good video.
Thanks for the great feedback and hopefully it applies to your Disc golf
This is good advice. In any sport, being consistent is about rhythm. Rhythm comes from efficiency and purpose within executing your game plan. My best advice is to have a game plan, approach each shot with a purpose within that game plan and try and have some FUN playing golf! Enjoy competing!!!!!
Thanks for sharing Will
One thing that helps me is visualizing off the course and at home at work - there should be no doubt when I leave for the course/net/pick up a club what I want to do
Great to hear Leo - visualizing is jut (if not more) powerful than actual physical world practice / playing
Thats a tonne of help for me ✌💯Thanks
That’s a great video I will add this to my game I think it’s the missing link
Great to hear Harry - let us know how you go
Very simple and very effective - thanks #GolfUniversity
Super video thank you. I’m off 1 and I play so well practicing but comps I just get so many negative thoughts and doubts and it effects me - also I care too much about what people think cos I’m a good player so they expect me to shoot a good score, it’s really effecting me. Almost like social anxiety. I’ve read Bob Rotella but applying it is hard. The thoughts I get, “don’t go left”, “don’t fat it” etc It’s frustrating as i want to get to 0 but with my mindset, I’m going to struggle. I care too much
We always get what we focus on, whether we want it or not 😀 keep focusing on what you want, not others and their wants - what exactly do you want? Eg if you get to zero what does it really give you? And does it give you what you really want?
Sounds Good Thanks
I've managed to get down to 8, during friendly rounds I am shooting this and less, generally no more than 10-11 over gross when playing poorly. I am just getting back to golf (re-started in 2020) and I have anxiety over the comps. This is mainly through the first 4 holes as there is so much trouble, and also the wayward potential in my swing. I want to hit committed golf shots but when I am nervous my body doesn't move and my arms take over. The pressure I put on myself, knowing I can shoot low if I play well, the anxiety, and the frustration means I shoot several shots worse in comps..although in typing this I am realising there is a lot of negative narrative of disaster lol
The key Alex is to focus on what you want rather than what you don't want. We have some great tools in.our www.search4scratch.tv/search4scratchprogram that could help you with this - reach out if you have any questions
Tell you what helped me. I used to get so nervous and it held me back. I was preparing to play my p.a.t. and wanted to "train" my nerves. So i tried to do everything I could to create pressure or "nerves" during my rounds. So I started playing for money / gambling. Not a lot , but enough to add that extra anxiety. It worked for sure. I'm not telling you to start gambling, but just find a way to add a little something to make yourself uncomfortable. When you find that you can overcome whatever it is, it will boost your confidence, and that's what it's all about
Thanks, guys this really worked for me.
Great to hear Amelia - keep it going
Literally psych myself out of playing because of topping the golf ball over and over again.
Do you think this started physically and has now become mental / emotional? and so you now pre empt it happening before it does? The subconscious mind is like a heat seeking missile and will always give you the outcome you are focused on Whether you want it or not) - if you need any additonal support Id encourage you to join our Search 4 Scratch Program as there are a number of tools in there to help you eliminate negative emotional charge - at www.Search4Scratch.tv/Search4ScratchProgram or we can do a phone coaching session to fast track your results even more.
@@GolfUniversity Litterally the past 3 times out playing topped the 1st Tee box like 15 feet in front of me. Started practicing playing last year. Then after topping it. then you have a good ole fashioned slicer.
@@BLYFACTOR How is your ball position? and have you subscribed to our channel so you can watch the videos that might help? However if it is mental / emotional it doesnt matter how much technical info you have it wont make much difference until you address this
@@GolfUniversity Ball behind left heel, got the sideways shoulder lean going, standing up, knees slightly bent, The backswing feels fine, the downswing is where the Lag of the club and probably me not keeping my butt back against the invisible wall. Then also me trying to swing a hail mary 300 yarder.
@@GolfUniversity Then I really want to master how someone hits a draw so easily. Is it the grooves? Is it the ball? Is it my stance? No video can exactly break down how to hit a draw frame by frame at impact and shows where the club face is where it finishes. I Tried it to swing towards the right side but the ball just went right and never came back left.
Just hit it 🤷♂️
Exactly Dan - as long as its at the right target 😀and that's where most people go wrong - as they focus on all the things they don't want instead of what they do want!
I got a match today and my mental game is awful. Hopefully this will help for my negative attitude
Good luck William - lets hope it helps
@@GolfUniversity no way. I just show a 45 bc of this!
Awesome video!
Thanks John- what was your biggest learning? And how does it apply to your game?
What to do if group infront is so slow and you wait almost 8 min between shots?i noticed that is when i start to spiral
@Whatsupbrother6969 can you address it with the club? And then based on answer or no answer, move courses and if stay can you play at another time and if not can you enjoy it for what it is - eg a test of your patience and sanity 😀
I play off 2 and I twitch like hell -only play for a few quid and still yip all sort of shots and still can play to my h/c- so frustrating
Whats going on for you subconsciously do you think? what is the outcome you are fearing and the feeling it would give you if it existed right now? the fear of feeling that feeling is what is causing the yips - be ok feeling it and no more yips
I'm a weekend golfer and i hit in the mid 80s when playing by myself or brothers but when I play in a tournament it's like I never picked up a club before. I start hitting to the right and topping the ball then I get mad and lose all focus. So nobody wants to team up with me during tournaments.
Very common Christopher - when emotion is up intelligence goes down - hence the loss of focus - best learn how to alleviate the emotion when things don't appear to go your way - we have simple and effective tools for this in our Search 4 Scratch progam at www.search4scratch.tv/search4scratchprogram
Great tip
Thanks Donald - what was your biggest takeaway?
To stop from freezing up over the ball. A preshot is important.
@@donaldblankenship510 great - keep us posted on the progress
I’m gonna be completely honest. Golf is a great game, but it is very stressful. I have been hitting it ok, but my scores are terrible. I shot a 96 today. I am a junior and am in tournaments a lot. Golf is kind of making everything else more stressful. It kind of feels like I am a terrible golfer now. How do I get over this?
Good question- at the end of the day you are not your golf so try to remember that
@@GolfUniversity ok. Thank you very much
@@david_kowalewski_golf our Search 4 Scratch Program would help you alot wth this - check out www.Search4scratch.tv/search4scratchprogram
Great video really has helped me
Thanks Toby - great to hear - what have been your biggest improvements?
@@GolfUniversity I am a 9 handicap looking to get to scratch, I’m 15 years old. I find that I sometimes get really anxious over a shot and my focus is the BAD outcomes, when In reality I should be focusing on the GOOD shot and being relaxed. I have seen an improvement to my game when being relaxed and focusing on the right things. 👍👍
@@tobyknevett3272 well done mate - keep focusing on your target (in your mind) and hit when ready and all will take care of itself - remember you cant control the outcome but you can control your target and your state which will help a better outcome
@@GolfUniversity I just had a comp and shot a 73 !!!! much credit goes to this video and you guys! Only onwards and upwards
@@tobyknevett3272 legend well done - now its a case of letting that result go and allowing the next one to show up free of expectation or past reference of the 73 - just let the magic happen on the golf course free of the efforting
I find that my anxiety comes up in a matter of a split second. Less time may be good, but it won't stop that moment of anxiety that I get, especially at the top of the backswing. Any suggestions to change the negative thoughts that lead to that anxiety? I can hit balls beautifully all day on my simulator and I immediately freeze over the ball. I also find that I feel that way mostly over my irons, not on the tee or greens. I practiced my irons all winter long with great success but I think my work on them is the reason for my anxiety. I've put a lot of pressure on my performance with them.
What's the feeling you fear feeling if you dont hit the ball well? If you become comfortable with that feeling you won't fear it any more and therefore won't get the anxiety - the funny thing is what you fear feeling the most already exists, and you are fine so really there is nothing to fear - tune in and see if what I am saying resonates with you, then feel the feelings you dont want to feel so you become comfortable with it
@@GolfUniversity I'm pretty sure I'm feeling this way because I put in so much effort practicing and told several people how well I was hitting it. I put a lot of pressure on myself to perform well with my irons. It's also a fear of hitting the ground, which is something I've struggled with over the years. I don't have that problem in the simulator in part because the mat is more forgiving but mostly because I've worked so hard on ball striking. When I got on the course, the uneven terrain and varying lies made me feel really uncomfortable since I was used to the perfect lies of the mat indoors. After a number of really poor shots, the anxiety began creeping in and has become almost debilitating. I get almost paralyzed as I begin my swing and make horrible lunges at the ball. I don't think the problem is how I feel about hitting a single bad shot. It's more to do with living up to the expectations I set up in talking with people about my accomplishments in practice.
@@motodiaries8204 so how does it feel of you dont live up to expectations?
@@GolfUniversity Not good! But seriously, it's very disappointing. I worked really hard and have gained a lot of knowledge and skill and it is disappointing to not see improvement in my play on the course. Actually there are improvements, just not with the clubs I worked so hard to hit well. I'm adjusting my expectations and allowing myself a lot more time than I thought I might need but I still find it disappointing. I'm adjusting my focus to focus on enjoying the game, being out on the course, and let the scores happen when and if they do. Enjoyment of golf can't be tied to how I score or I won't be playing for long. There are too many things that you just can't control. Some days you make every putt and others they just slide by the hole...Thanks for your replies. I do appreciate it.
@@motodiaries8204 sounds like a good strategy - we could help you more but not on this platform as there will be more to this for you than the head stuff we have discussed - but it's ultimately deeper stuff that's driving your golf, your results etc and can be easily sorted.
Is there an advantage of having name brand golf clubs?
Good question - at the end of the day it's not about the clubs, its about your ability to use them in the best way for you - so regardless of brand it really isn't about to the clubs - what brand are you looking at as a matter of interest and why?
I've been using The Taylor Made r7 irons for the last 9 yrs.
Every time I play with my dad and we get paired up I tend to rush my self and play bad and feel pressure from my dad and lose confidence. But when i play by myself i feel more comfortable. I dont know what to do
Your Dad is the trigger Ismael - either remove yourself from playing with him or learn to deal with the emotional charge (and feel it so you become comfortable with it) that he makes you feel when you play with him
@@GolfUniversity alright thank you very much
@@ismaelgarcia9217 our Srarch 4 Scratch Program at www.search4scratch.tv/search4scratchprogram will give you the tools to fix this - feel free to email us at info@golfuniversity.tv if you have questions
I play alone and shoot 10 over. I play comp and shoot 20 over. Consistently... It's an absolute joke.
What's the difference for you mentally and emotionally in comp Qerim?
@@GolfUniversity I'm a new member and play with a lot of people I don't know in comps. So that throws me off for sure. I think I concern myself with the other people instead of my game, and when things go bad it just unravels. When I practice, I'm shaping the ball, thinking about outcomes, not worrying about anything else. I'm in the zone. I can't get in the zone in the comps.
@@quoostonator hmmm as you said try focusing on what you want only and see how that goes - you may want to join our Search 4 Scatch program to help with all of this at www.search4scratch.tv/search4scratchprogram
Why do I play better by myself and not with a group
Good question Caleb - why do you think you play better by yourself and not with others? Where is your mental / emotional game at when you play by yourself versus with others?
I spend less than 7 seconds....I'm a 35 handicap.
And...
@@GolfUniversity well being a 35 handicap plus. Shooting 135 to 155. Being quicker isn't working for me
And I have anxiety....something I can't shake.
