Golf Is All In Your Head
Jose L. Gonzalez
Have you ever read one golf players valuable advice, only to find the next day a different professional vehemently disagreeing and advocating the exact opposite? One pro fanatically advises to keep your head straight. Later, another person comes along and gives completely contradictory advice.
Whats a golfer to do?
Listen to me, of course.
Were all different, and no two people play exactly alike. So dont get too caught up in this or that different method.
But there are some basic fundamentals that can make you or break you. And Im advising fanatically that you keep your head absolutely still and not move it from the spot in which you start.
You cant keep your head still if you stiffen your muscles. By keeping your head still, you loosen up and this allows you to finish your stroke smoothly and naturally. Keeping your head still also prevents slicing since you dont have to draw your hands in to keep your balance.
One championship winner admitted that every time he stepped up to the ball, at every shot he repeated to himself, "Keep your head still. Keep your head still." Its a vital aspect to the game too many players overlook.
You will find yourself improving rapidly if you just master this one detail. If you happen to make a terrible stroke then focus on keeping your head still on the next stroke and youll do better.
See, when your head is still, your ability to see the ball at every point in the swing is enhanced. How can you watch the ball if your head is jerking here and there?
This is one sure way to build confidence in your golf game. Keep your head so still that you wouldnt jar a glass of water perched on top of it, and look at the ball when you make your stroke. Youll see the ball clearly and hit it more accurately.
No matter how nervous you are when youre playing, these two tips - keeping your head still and your eye on the ball - will help you play a better game.
