Stressed Out Golfer

Problem

You are always up tight and your game suffers because of it.

Cure

Think like a pro. Select a golfing professional and imagine that you are that player while on the course.

Therapy

Walk up to the ball with the feeling that you are a tall, fit athlete. Athletes play primarily with their eyes and instincts. Their swing is simply a response to the picture of the target that they painted in their mind. You will play sports better when you have peace of mind, knowing that you will play great and the ball will fly well. Athletes are target oriented and do not need to instruct themselves on how to hit the ball every time. They feel the clubhead in their hands and practice swinging the club using their instincts and feel in order to reach the target. So play your next round without any swing thoughts at all and try to channel the athlete in you.
