TOP 10 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MENTAL GAME AT GOLF

[@pvMMvp]

Excellent video Jac. This video is in no way "corny." We golfers spend thousands of dollars on clubs, balls and equipment. We spends countless hours practicing on the range, taking lessons, watching lessons of KZbin. But we spend mere minutes on our mental fitness, at least i do. That is why i am so glad i watched your video. I am going to save this video and watch it over and over. I mostly will buy the book you quoted. My homework assignment for this week (playing 3 rounds) is visualization each shot. Just take that extra second and visual the shot. I will also bring my best friend in my head. Every shot i take my best friend will be an encouragement no matter how great or bad the shot is. Thank you very much for sharing this video. No matter what my scores is this week I will love this game. Cheers.

[@JakLeeGolf]

Great stuff, thanks so much for your comment, hope it helps!

[@FenwayJoe7129]

Golf Psychology. Love it.

[@jeremypoor7473]

Enjoyed this jac. All makes perfect sense. Getting our minds in the right place can only be a plus. Keep the videos coming mate.

[@JakLeeGolf]

Thanks mate! Appreciate that

[@lepadus7926]

2:23 this phrase needs to be added to the list.

[@JakLeeGolf]

Thank you!

[@jimmymac2265]

100% agree with you. On the tee box ready to go and any doubt in you're mind just stop walk behind the ball think positive about the shot and yes more than likely you will hit a great shot

[@JakLeeGolf]

Definitely think it helps prevent a bad one

[@leemzgoogle917]

Yeah, I really need to go back and re-read my Dr. Bob Rotella books. Good advice.

[@JakLeeGolf]

Can only help IMO!

[@ringkyle]

Good video, more people need to learn how to think their way around. Dr. Bob rules.... That power sniff at 4:54 though!

[@JakLeeGolf]

Power sniff 😂😂 love it

[@rickcolaizzi2477]

It has helped me out immensely on the golf course thank you

[@JakLeeGolf]

Love that 👏🏼 keep it up Rick

[@camkeni]

Liked it, shared it and enjoyed your conversational approach. I still need to keep my right wing tucked in and stop over swinging so I can improve my confidence.

[@JakLeeGolf]

thanks so much! Good luck with your game

[@paulmaloney6244]

I am part way through reading it, all his books seem to help even if its short term, cheers jak

[@JakLeeGolf]

Paul Maloney it’s a real game changer mate, don’t be afraid to keep going back to it 👍🏼

[@thomastrain7311]

Sports psychology changed my game permanently.

[@geoffwarleigh3768]

Great video. Thanks very much

[@JakLeeGolf]

Pleasure Geoff, hope it stands you in good stead!

[@raymarkham6370]

Excellent job, thank you! I plan on taking this to the course every time.

[@JakLeeGolf]

great stuff!

[@TEINIDRAKULA]

Thanks for the video dude! Great work spreading important knowledge for everyone trying to get better.

[@JakLeeGolf]

Will do thank you!

[@George-nw1io]

Great video and reminder of just how good Dr. Rotella was and is! I have his books and they are also available still I believe as audio books. Thanks for your video. Best Always, George

[@JakLeeGolf]

Yes! Thank you!

[@vont8332]

Good one again Jak .... thanks 👍

[@teamblakers9442]

Don’t lack confidence. It was a very helpful video with a clear message.

[@JakLeeGolf]

Thank you! Hope it helps

[@howardheating7200]

I was just searching for some Bob Rotella thoughts before going out this morning and watched your video. I’ve listened to most of bobs audiobooks but was good to see someone more relatable taking about it too. My biggest downfall is my mentality. One week getting it sub par the next week +10 and feeling the worlds ended. Going to go out and enjoy it today regardless now 😁

[@JakLeeGolf]

Great stuff Howard! Hope it helps

[@desertrat1111]

Thanks for the help

[@JakLeeGolf]

Happy to help

[@mickruban3567]

Great video! This is important stuff. More please. Thanks.

[@JakLeeGolf]

More to come!

[@FLOODtoFIRE]

Think great to play great . Cheers Jak

[@FenwayJoe7129]

Good advice. If you go out there thinking your going to play horrible it becomes reality. I always feel positive about it. Each time out is a chance to improve or do something great out there. If I play a rough hole I forget it and move onto the next. And if you want to make good things happen out there you need to practice too. Solid practices make me more confident out there. I have too many friends that think practicing putting and chipping is boring. Work hard and stay focused and positive. Spider Dubiel

[@paulromagnoli6449]

Great video, top tips, thanks Jac 😊

[@JakLeeGolf]

Pleasure is mine, thank you!

[@mglennon5535]

Good stuff! Cheers

[@JakLeeGolf]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@hildahudson2344]

I kinda knew about the last five strangely enough and try to practice them. The first five are worth adding in so will give them a try. Thanks for summarising the top ten, very useful 👍🏼🏌️‍♀️⛳️

[@JakLeeGolf]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@randymcdonald1419]

Good advice, thanks

[@JakLeeGolf]

glad it was of some use!

[@alexdoerschel]

Loved it! Good stuff

[@JakLeeGolf]

Appreciate it!

[@Jimsranch]

Well done- well presented.

[@JakLeeGolf]

Thank you Jim! Hope you found it useful 👍🏼

[@MrPaulbartholomew]

Loved that ❤️⛳️🏌️‍♂️ exactly what I need 👍 watching Tyrell Hatton beating himself up at Wentworth was hilarious until I realised that’s me every round. Trying this tomorrow🤞

[@JakLeeGolf]

How did it go?

[@MrPaulbartholomew]

@@JakLeeGolf it was a test! Much more fun throwing the rattle out of the pram rather than biting your tongue for 4 1/2 hrs 😂😂

[@AD-jc9sj]

Fantastic video. I’m off 0 but my mental game is still poor. I always want results and worry about shooting a high score cos people expect me to play well every game but i don’t. I need to stop caring too much as the +2’s don’t care and just hit it

[@JakLeeGolf]

I will definitely make a follow up in the future!

[@ChristopherSmith-ii1pn]

This video is great, not at all corny!!!

[@JakLeeGolf]

Thanks mate!

[@BringDownTheirPride]

Thank you for this

[@JakLeeGolf]

My pleasure!

[@buddywheels]

Enjoyed it, well done.

[@JakLeeGolf]

cheers steve!

[@ikigai47]

"Play to play great." I feel like adding that pressure will force some bad swings, as well as bring you down more when you do hit a bad shot. That's been the case for me. Many days I've gone out there wanting personal bests and had rough days. Other days I went out with a good attitude just to enjoy my day regardless of outcome and did really well.

[@JakLeeGolf]

Rotella talks about being a 4/10 on an intensity scale, think it's sound advice

[@ICoug]

It was an awesome video..I was 🤣🤣 when you said, “you aren’t dead” 🤣🤣

[@JakLeeGolf]

Now that would be worst case scenario!

[@stevet5087]

I guess my most recent problem is I videoed my swing and I hate it. I am stuck at around a 13 handicap and I can’t seem to make any headway. I took some good lessons and made some adjustments and went from about a 21 to where I am now. But, sometimes I feel like I need to break down my entire swing and start over. But, in reality, I think I just need to find a way to slow my swing down and accept much lower distances, in favour of better accuracy. I’m also willing to bet that I’m not alone.

[@BinoRucker]

excellent video

[@JakLeeGolf]

Thank you very much!

[@santiuribetv]

Great video! It was really helpful to me!

[@JakLeeGolf]

Great to hear!😊

[@pdub2762]

Really great. Ty

[@JakLeeGolf]

thanks!

[@tomfenter2566]

I’m a disc golfer and this is 100% what I need but can’t find in the Disc Golf world so I’m crossing sports to find information that I can apply to Disc Golf

[@JakLeeGolf]

Ooh very cool, let me know if it helps!

[@terrancea.thornton7654]

I got this book 15 years ago. Use it daily before playing…

[@JakLeeGolf]

I think we all should reference it more!

[@styofwye]

Good stuff, 👍

[@Phil-G1075]

Good video

[@JakLeeGolf]

Thank you!

[@Coxy2k23]

I also have become almost paralysed/debilitated to even swing a club. I have warmed up on the range prior to my round hitting all clubs lovely only to tee off and become completely incompetent in getting off the tee. I don’t even feel like I know how to take it away and feel completely broken in the moment. How can I go about fixing this? It mainly happens when I want to play well.

[@JakLeeGolf]

Steve I'm so sorry I've only just come across this comment! Are you still experiencing this? If so, here's what to do... play 9 holes on your own, don't take a practice swing, step up to every shot and just hit it, have a total disregard of the outcome, just hit shots

[@jeffreymoss4257]

My biggest enemy on the course is me. I will take your points to heart. Thanks.

[@JakLeeGolf]

You got this!

[@gilbertamthor5098]

I cant find “play to play great”. Anywhere. Any ideas?

[@diego81990]

[@CamoflaugeDinosaue]

I feel this hard at 5-7 handicap. Video'd my swing when I felt like I was swing it well, yeah impact position was closer to a weekend hacker who shoots in the 100s than to a pro. Thing is, when you've learned to kind of get by with some bad habits. They become much harder to break. I've managed to chip away some of them by hitting lots and lots of balls with little abbreviated swings that emphasize the motions I'm trying to install. And NEVER take a break to hit a ball like you normally would. For me, I can't get the full hip turn and forward hands at impact. I've gotten better recently, one specific tip I can credit is Ben Hogan's "fastest point in the swing" - I realized that my swing speed was peaking out about 2 ft before impact, then slowing down (could feel it, and see it in the shaft bend in slo mo). Making sure the highest point of acceleration actually happens AFTER impact has been a game changer.

[@JakLeeGolf]

Very rare that you should start over, sounds like you're doing great. Use stats to really analyse what you could improve on now
