Thanks coach, this is the type of video that I can relate to. I used to get annoyed with myself over duffed shots, but I realise I'm not a scratch golfer and therefore I forget those bad shots and concentrate on the next one.
Great video. Makes so much sense. Thank you.
thanks very much David
I play bogey golf , occasional doubles and occasional pars , if the holes a bit tricky and is over what i can expect to gir ( over 360-370) then im probably playing my second to lay up 100 , that ap2 pw your holding is that number for me everytime , point and shoot .
I have black ox mizuno 50 which is the same but i can back off it easier so rarely carry the pw .
The main point is its stress free , point and shoot ,rather than as a second shot a pushed wood into a bunker or worse so ill lay up and take my chances with an up and down .
Same scenario , i can hit the 8 140 carry all day at the range but i am probably deciding between a 7 or 6 for that on the course .
What your saying is 100 percent true , if your enjoying the game and not expecting to much things tend to turn out alright , when your expecting greatness and a personal best round because your hitting them so well this week , then take a hankie – your going to need it to mop your brow and your tears 🤯
Love this video and for me very timely. I was shooting in the mid 80's for many rounds. Mostly due to putting. Got a new putter and only had 27 putts and shot 74. I can't expect that next time, or it will frustrate me all day. I am an 11 handicap, so I 'should' shoot around 80-82. I must keep this lesson in mind!
This is so interesting David, and it's adds another concept to a round, I must start to take note of what happens in my game rather than the overall score.
I think a lot of the time people get upset with the results of their shots because they have planned and aimed and visualized the shot based on a really good result. Even if, in the planning stage, we realize that we have to allow room for the average and poor results, and make sure a miss doesn't get us in trouble, when we visualize, we are still visualizing that lovely result. So when it doesn't happen, there is always going to be an initial disappointment.
I am trying to train myself to handle that by shifting my focus away from that lovely visualized shot as soon as the swing and strike are over. I try to note in passing how the shot worked out technically, (hmm. bit right and a bit short), without getting emotionally tied up in it. Then as quickly as I can I shift to assessing the actual result, and how it measures up to an acceptable outcome. (Well, it's on the green. It's a long way away from the pin, but it's on. From 100 yards, that's fine.) Starting late last year, I started trying to use David's 12 Shots of Golf standards for a 90 and up shooter to measure these. It does help take the pressure off. So I'll continue trying to do that this year. It can still be hard dealing with the emotions of it at times. But it's getting easier, especially with those more realistic expectations from David to work with.
