Golf is really tough when you think too much. The absolute worst thing is whenever you hit really well on the range and you get out to hit your first shot, and you just sit over the ball for like 20 seconds making sure that you are doing everything right, and then you yank the crap out of the ball. You feel terrible, and then you just think, "well today is going to be great..." I can't stand it! I don't know why trying to think about your shot does such bad things to it, especially whenever you are just trying to make sure that you don't forget anything, but that is always what winds up happening. After that, you are trying to make a comeback on every shot so you really think about them and take your time and that just leads to you forgetting more!
It is really bad whenever you are putting, you do your practice strokes and you look the putt, do all your little things you do to try and evaluate the putt, and right when you are about to hit the ball you start thinking. You start thinking about everything, and then you accidentally flick your wrists or you get too hands and then you screw up. And it sucks because it seems like putting should be the part of your game that you think the most about, but in actuality you aren't supposed to think. The really good players just read the putt, or set up for their shot, and swing. They don't think about it much at all, and i wish i was like that all the time, well i guess we all do.
Sup Cole I have never really played golf in my life but it seems similar to the sports I play when it comes down to thinking about what plays you make and when I mess up the day when we watch film I'm always thinking on the right things I should have do. good blog!!
