Talking to Yourself on the Golf Course...Crazy?

YES! But not because you're talking to yourself, but because you're golfing!

There is a thin line between genius and lunacy and golfers walk that line whenever they play. How so? Glad you asked...

In what other activity do you see so many people take part... To relax... And end up screaming at the top of their lungs in frustration. They break clubs and they throw clubs, sometimes all of them. I've seen golfers throw new clubs in a lake and drive off. Shortly after, I watched crazed golfers in the lake fighting over those same clubs. If you were from another planet, you could liken it to the crazed actions of anyone possessing the evil ring in JRR Tolken's "Lord of The Rings."

What pushes golfers to such extremes? A simple word... Expectations.

Golfers usually expect to play better than they do, and when they don't sometimes they get crazy. I've seen golfers talk to themselves loudly and vigorously. I only wish I had a recorder in times like that. But PGA Tour golfers do it too... Maybe not to the degree of questionable sanity, but they do talk to themselves.

Here's what I believe is crazy when it comes to golfers. They'll have a bad day on the course, scream and yell at themselves all day, glare at anyone who asks about their game, and when they are done, they'll throw the sticks in the car, go home and do nothing to change their game. The next time out, the same routine starts over again... Now that's crazy.

It's the definition of crazy... Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.

The REAL reason for the frustration? Lack of control over their golf game. For many golfers, no matter how hard they try, something always happens during their golf game that ruins the game. In spite of every attempt to right the ship, they just can't fix the problem. I went through it for years and frankly I talked to myself and threw clubs too.

Golf isn't a game about getting the stupid little ball into the hole. It's a game about learning self control. If you can do it in golf, you can do it with the rest of your life.

Yeah, you might be thinking, "I'm not going to accept that poor of a golf game because I know I can do better, so don't tell me to get control over myself!"

And you are right. You need to learn how to gain control over your golf game. You have to learn how the body and mind work TOGETHER to make a golf swing and a golf shot (they are different). Then you need to learn how to do it for your own game.

I've spent half my life figuring it out. Not just for me, but for any golfer. You want to let go of the frustration? It has been accomplished by golfers around the world.

The rest of this blog and other blogs that I write have the answers. Take the time to get rid of irrational craziness so you can be crazy... When you want to!
