Preparation involves two basic tasks that are essential if you want to enjoy your golf. One of which is practicing effectively so that you’re preparing yourself for playing on the golf course. This involves hitting to different targets while not overloading your brain with swing mechanics (or golf swing tips).
The second necessary for being prepared on the golf course is your ability to block out all distractions … which in turn lowers your anxiety. Because the more your anxiety rises … the less you’ll be able to allow the skills you developed (in your practice time) to shine through the muscle and brain tension that anxiety creates in your golf swing.
For example – when a Golfer’s on the 7th hole tee box knowing that they have a chance to shoot their lowest 9 hole score ever if they play well these next 3 holes… does Anxiety usually get lower, stay the same, or does it rise? For most Golfers … their level of Anxiety is represented by the Double Bogey they made on #7 that “ruined my round!”
And that disappointing Double Bogey often raises the Golfer’s anxiety even higher on the next tee box!
Your Anxiety and your scores are a team – when one rises … so does the other. Yet, the good news is that the opposite is also true. When you learn how to lower your Anxiousness … you can more consistently swing the golf club to the level you know you’re capable of!

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.
Great video!! Thanks!!!
Thank you. First instructor that has talked about how to calm yourself on the course
Great video! Breatheeeeeeee.
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.
“There not doing shit with it” 😂👏👏
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
Absolutely priceless! Played there.
Bullshit
Best way is have low expectations and good process.
These you can control,
Then judge round NOT by score but how your process was.
