Got my first birdie today! You are right, anger can drag your game down. My thinking, when I'm playing is, I'm not good enough to get mad. Just keep the ball playable. You have good reminders. Thanks Bro!✌🏾
@@postalclerk28 first birdie! Love to see it. Congrats
Found your vids a couple weeks ago and have finally broke 50 when playing 9. Thank you man. Valuable knowledge
@@Jack-q1o5i congrats!
I like the way you think mate. Self management can become a process with clear thinking. Just had a month off golf due to work commitments. Easing back into it now. Found your channel recently. Liking it
@@ianwoollard2063 thanks yo!
I like your relatable style. You’ve motivated me to not keep trying to hit that perfect 10 drive, which seems to be where I go usually wrong (wicked slice off the tee) and mess myself up for the next 3 holes.
Mayo for the win! Just getting back into the game after over 15 years of not playing and these videos are really helping get my mind right before heading to the course or range. Sure makes the game a lot more fun!
@@johnneal9624 Glad to hear it! Hopefully your best round is to come
When you mention focusing on something in your environment to reset, it reminds me of when I used to watch Pete Sampras play…he would spend so much time staring at the strings on his racket. Maybe that’s what he was doing?
Anxiety breeds anger too often. IMHO, learning to control it takes patience, self awareness and a healthy dose of humility.
that bad shot after saying bbq sauce is ketchup w/brown sugar was your punishment for saying that
Lmao
This channel is great !
Thanks!
I wouldn’t say I am an angry golfer, but more of a disappointed golfer. Have I gotten angry and tossed the club to the side, yes, I think we all have. But what I need is one of your videos discussing how to overcome disappointments. Like, when you know you can hit that shot because you have 100 times before at your local course but you just keep dudfing easy shots. How do you overcoming disappointment?
If you have a vid in disappointment management, please link in reply! 🤘🤘🤘
Yessirrr. I have a few: ua-cam.com/video/Ki02P--styk/v-deo.html & ua-cam.com/video/JfdrRjAmxC4/v-deo.html Id say check out.
@@GolfPsychologistawesome! Thanks so much! Gonna watch em! 🤘
Develop the "quiet eye."
I used to get really angry playing golf like every time I hit it into the woods or duffed a shot. Then I realized that it matters that I only practice about once a month and play about four times a year. I haven’t earned the RIGHT to be angry. Not yet, too early in my development in Golf.
@@PeterLarsenJr agreed. golfing only a few times a year is really about trying to focus on just enjoying being out there and playing in general. No expectations
@@GolfPsychologist agreed. And I put so much damn pressure on myself by getting angry, for no logical reason.
Impressive birdie! Not sure I have a favorite bird 🤷🏾♂️. I like your thought of just turning the hole into a practice hole, and hitting a ball to reset your mind, that’s pretty much what I do.
Man your grass is waaay better than the grass on my local club. I had a great game on good grass and then came back to my home club and my shots WERE NOT THE SAME😡, so I definitely had to check my mental. Do you have a different swing on different grounds?
Nice chip in Tony!
Thanks! You can tell I don't do that too often lol
@@GolfPsychologist I’ve only ever had a handful of chip ins, always a thing of beauty
Why do people get angry on the golf course?
Perhaps if you know the root cause, you might be able to manage it.
Seems to me there are two reasons people get angry on the golf course …
1) They don’t hit the ball as well as they like. We all want to hit a good shot, but there are hundreds of UA-cam channels dedicated to technique … How to hit a golf shot
Yet, how many shots does one hit during a round the way they WANT to? I think it was Bobby Jones who said, “You only hit TWO good shots per round”
(to your point of: meeting expectations)
Thus, ☝🏻lower your expectations.
The other reason people get angry on a golf course is:
2) a bad result
… the bad bounce, rolls into the rough, a bunker, into a lake, OB, etc.
it’s like golf course designers intentionally build hazards into a golf course (to your point of: too much challenge = unhappy, and not enough challenge= unsatisfied) Bad bounces are part of the game. 😏
Where frustration really sets in are when BOTH occur 😡
You’re not hitting it particularly well AND you’re getting a lot of bad bounces.
It’s amazing how much LUCK is involved with golf 🍀
… Your ball rolls out of the bunker OR your ball rolls into it.
… You hit a tree and it bounces into the center of the fairway OR into the woods.
… You miss your line with the putt and 😁 it still finds the bottom of the cup.
And that is the difference between walking off the course smiling after an enjoyable round, OR throwing your clubs into your trunk and slamming it.
Spot on. I always have to check my anger the most when I am hitting it bad and bad results (in a divot, bad lie, bad bounce, etc).
I usually eat my fries plain but occasionally I’ll dip them in tarter sauce
As for fries, Arby’s curly is my favorite and I like to dip them in either Horsie sauce or a mix of their bbq sauce and ketchup. Weird, huh?
Peregrine Falcon 🐦 nice bird brotha
Ketchup on fries
I'm the guy who hit it, what are you doing over there take your medicine no hero shots but they are fun to try
@@johnmoyer5515 That's why I always keep an extra ball in my pocket so I can hit a hero shot and see how it goes lol

Do you think sometimes athletes feign anger ie making a grand display of it…maybe to show passion, or show that they don’t usually play that badly and hold themselves to a higher standard?
@@BeerLeagueGoalieGodfather probably a bit of both.
