My notes from today's video: 1. Love this type of content, very honest and real 2. Golf is a really tough sport, don't be too hard on yourself 3. You miss a lot of approach shots short 4. Love the mental approach, "your next shot should be your best shot" as the book goes 5. Talk therapy will defo help 6. Look up micro dosing Keep 'em coming, looking forward to your 2025 journey!
Stop trying to hit it to the moon! No one cares. You play well when your tempo is on! “Knock down 6!” More like knock down into the water. Should have just hit a normal 6 just to see where it would go. You hit the ball pretty straight with all the irons and putting is pretty sharp. Find a happy place with the tee shots you’ll be good.
Thanks for sharing this video. It goes to show it takes more than having a great swing to become a Pro golfer., or to get on the PGA, then you have to continue to play very good to keep your card. It’s like a ONE MAN ARMY. The reason I say that cause it’s you and your ball against the next guy and the next. It’s a steady grind. to be better than the all the guys you are playing against. It’s not about shooting a low score, it’s shooting better than all the rest of the field. My hats off to you and to everyone else that are trying to go Pro or trying to make it to the PGA. Thanks
In the words of Chubbs. Find your happy place. Before stressful rounds or if things get away from you. Try grounding yourself in the moment. Find something that gives you a little asmr. Close your eyes, feel the grass, imagine yourself in a place with no stress. Focus on your breathing. Try meditation off the course. I struggle too with bad shots. My attitude was poor and I would lash out and my fiancé didn't want to golf with me anymore. I'm on the verge of breaking 80 amd her reaction to my reaction has made me rethink how I approach the game. You are capable in your dreams. Try to see it as less about your job and more about your love. Treat every round as your love. Keep it up Ben.
Since you’re struggling right now, why not try to break 65 from every tee and regain that confidence. every viewer knows you have the talent. love the content ben, rooting for you as a fellow kansas guy!
Ben, I appreciate your honesty and willing to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. I'm convinced that you have the abilities, you just need to figure out how to get the most out of them on a consistent basis. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll be seeing those better results around the corner!
In your tournaments where you underperform what is the main source of problems? That likely spirals into reduced confidence in other areas. If you focus on solving the number one problem that will feel more attainable and go a long way
I love your content man. Inspired by your transparency, but even more by your drive to not give up on your big ambition! Saying some prayers for you and I truly hope you make it. Having a front row seat to that journey IS going to be awesome
just started getting more serious as college and football ended, normally play a little up so I don't hate myself but with my 3.7 dad had a 44 on the turn today and ended with 96. Normally I wouldn't want to play for the next month with the blow up but your videos and your mindset has taught me to always strive to be better and put things into perspective. Even with the blow up, broke 100 from the tips which is such improvement and you played a part in that with tips and mindset. Keep grinding! best way out of a slump is to just keep going, everybody has them and the best get past it! always press babyyyy
Keep up the grind! Been watching your videos since your time at good good and it's refreshing to see the difficult parts of the pro golf journey being shared. You give a lot of hope to golfers with the same dreams and goals. Wishing the best for you and hoping the success is that much sweeter when you achieve it.
Ben, I hope you make it to the PGA tour, you’re hard work is unmatched, and, I don’t know which sports great said, but aim to be the hardest working person in the room. Keep at it man, and have lots of faith.
This video actually saw some of your best swings; timing, pace, and balanced. That water ball should never have come close to the water! Center of the green was the play!
Thank you for the honesty in what its like trying to make it as a pro. I went through this myself and i didn’t make it through it. Keep grinding and betting on yourself.
This series is sick. And its got nothing to do with your results. Just someone actually putting themselves out there and really trying to achieve. No caveats or excuses, Great to watch
More forgiving irons so you don’t have to be perfect all the time with your strike may help with the front to back dispersion but truthfully sounds like the biggest thing you need is perspective. Failure only happens when you stop trying, don’t worry about failure and put the time in to the process and the effort. Eventually you will create your own luck which is how success becomes a norm.
I've struggled with Anxiety in my career and beta blockers (prescribed by my Doctor) have been a huge help when dealing with a high pressure situation. Might be worth exploring.
Great video man. I'm pulling for you big time! Maybe try working with a sports psychologist and see if that helps the heart rate stuff? Worth trying at least imo.
It’s awesome to see you care about your word and you push to be the best! You are still in the top 5% of the world and it may not be the standard you set but the drive and commitment you have will get you there with patience and trust in yourself. Keep at it brother you’re killing it.
Love the thought process stuff. Hopefully you get some of the anxiety managed more consistently. Few things I teach clients id say could be helpful for you is learning some grounding techniques to help stay more present and shifting the thought of "I'm not anxious, I'm excited". Since they're the same feeling just a different expectation on the outcome.
Hey man hope this makes you feel better. I look forward to uploads on your channel more than any other because you're a really interesting dude and you love all the minutae of golf. That's what sets you apart is that you're willing to put in the work, and you really seem to love all the dumb little things about golf, even something as mundane as the science behind target selection. Your videos are always fun to watch, inspiring and you just seem like a really quality dude. Keep up the hard work, we'll be here watching no matter what you put out because we're here for Ben Hadden, not Ben Hadden Plays Perfect Golf.
I like your Chanel for your honesty, your content is very good and I think is your strong point. Golf is very hard and very mental game. I would say to keep going to tournaments even if you don’t play good because that’s a niche that I don’t see many Chanel’s cover like you do, and wile you keep improving your golf you keep growing your Chanel
Saying the night before/morning of a round “Please god, don’t let me embarrass myself” is how 90% of golfers prepare for a round. Don’t worry Ben. You can do it!
Florida may be the toughest state in the country to play golf in. Between wind, sticky Bermuda grass, grainy putting surfaces, water and alligator land everywhere. It’s tough to go low. Your game maybe better than you think. Try a tournament somewhere else and see if you go low.
Your quality of content has skyrocketed since your slump. I think it makes things easier to invest into you. We care about your game and want to see you play well out of support... but damn, even the best of us go through this. It's relatable. I'll be here for you now as I will be when you catch a heater
I really appreciate your honesty, I'm in no way your skill level (8 handicap) have only played for 3 years but can relate with everything your saying, especially walking down the first tee with a heart rate of 185, I get that also and it continues for 6 holes atleast then I'm exhausted! I also put way too much pressure/ expectations on and makes me over think everything. Hard game! Hope you get all the success you deserve as you have a lot of talent! 🤜
Every player on earth goes through slumps. Hardest part is trying to focus on the positives and not the negatives. For some reason that's really hard to do in golf. Keep pressing young man. Use the beginning of 2025 as beginning of a great chapter in your life
Noticed you mentioned the wind a lot. A helping wind doesn't help as a much as you think. A hurting wind hurts more in relative terms. The sweet spot has a podcast episode with the Ping guys on how weather affects the ball. Good luck
Strangely enough we were grouped together at the state championship in 2014 at WCC i'm like 90% sure. But on the question about the nerves on the first fairway and the passion driving you, maybe you need to investigate the passion. Sometimes passion is good, making us get out of bed and start the day. Sometimes it can drive us up a wall and cause us to question every movement. Passion has brought you this far and it was nice to have in the back of your mind during grind sessions, but maybe you need something more tangible in the back of your mind now to help you ground yourself in tournaments. As Tiger did, developing a pre-shot routine that you could do with your eyes closed, on one leg etc... Overall I think investing in the practice facility is key- it's going to make you feel like a golfer. Practicing on facilities when people let you is nice, but i always feel like i'm watching over my shoulder. I'm trying to practice for like 100 a month or less, and getting out to the course >5 hrs a week is pushing my limits with my life and responsibilities rn but i'm hoping that'll change soon. But for you, if 5 figures is in your budget then you need to do it. You'll only regret it later on if you only gave yourself three-quarters or half of a chance.
Ngl when I watched the video of you with that coach working on the changes he wanted and listening to his theories on the swing, I thought you’d go backwards. I’ve just been through something similar. Now working on finding my old swing again. Not all change is good change.
Yes, action matters. A ton. But you also say you want to feel good. How you feel follows how you think. I would recommend reading “The path of no resistance” by Garrett Kramer.
Ben about the putter. You got one that sounds really clicky. I've heard tell that that's some fancy pants putter. Please consider finding a "Stogie" putter. The reason is that there is absolutely no chance you will strike the ball unperpindicular... now that's a word.
Ben I'm not sure if you have a sports psychologist that you deal with I know playing golf your brain can just go in 100,000 different ways every other hole I just know they can help quiet your mind and understand that it's just golf go do what you know how to do best and if you have a bad hole who cares it happens or if you have a bad round who cares it happens go get them Ben
Great video Ben. Been watching for a while and it was kinda hard to watch the tournament videos and seeing you struggle but this video was definitely better, a lot more positivity and a true insight on how you feel. 2025 is Ben's year 💪🏻
Question for you Ben - I’ve seen lots of TH-camrs changing putters on the regular (Pete Finch, Garrett, Grant, etc) to try to improve their putting. I’ve never really believed that putting is something that the club is going to make THAT much difference. What’s your thoughts?
Hey Ben, I enjoy your content. How much do you work on your breathing? After many of your shots you let out what sounds kind of like a frustrated sigh. Are you holding your breath as you swing? I’m definitely not qualified to suggest something to someone of your ability, but weightlifters exhale as they exert effort and you might want to try breathing out steadily as you swing. Just a thought. Good luck as you chase your dreams!
you better learn how to move the ball left to right then right to left at will then learn to hit more iron if need be to hit greens in reg. that's golf old school weather there better than here in Kansas go yotes
Just my opinion , but you should practice how you want to play. Golf is a game and you should treat it as such. Laugh when u mess up . Be all smiles when your playing good and meet new people in tournaments as potentially new friends that God has put in your path. But you already know stress is your #1 enemy on the course. It's not your swing it's the stress your putting on your swing.....so stop stressing and go have fun. Laugh at yourself when you screw up Hell everyone else is you might as well too. Bro it's a game stop making it life and death. I have had 3 heart attacks and pancreatic cancer in the last three years. I can't even play anymore .... Now I gotta have fun playing cards with my wife , but I enjoy what I have and you should too. Best of luck and God's got your back bro " no worries "
Do you think you try to hit too many shots? Scott preaches hitting one stock shot and not deviating i.e. Keith Mitchell tee ball, no matter the wind or hole shape he hits the same shot. You seem to try and finesse a lot
I hear about all the work you are putting in on your game, but no mention of a golf instructor you are working with. Am i correct in assuming then that you don't work with an instructor? It would seem a good instructor could help your achieve your goals more quickly. There's a lot of good instructors in the Palm Beach area
OK so you think your letting "everyone" down...harsh truth, and I'm old so I've got some wisdom, No one cares. Seriously. This is entertaining for Us, it's your life. Once you live in the idea that no one actually cares about what you're doing you'll be free to do it. So put this on socks, "No one Cares. Work Harder." Love the channel.
Awesome vid! Find joy in the process, knowing you’re doing the right things. Also, it seems like that positive self talk and setting yourself up with clear guidelines before you hit the shot worked well for you. You don’t necessarily have to say it out loud, but nothing is saying you can’t!!! Find what works & repeat. Keep fighting the good fight. 👍😎 Also, if you don’t make it to the PGA, you aren’t a failure. Results aren’t everything….I think finding Jesus could help give you some peace there!
That double par 3 was just poor course management.. you play okay.. start taking course management serious and you’ll get there. All your “bad” shots are literally due to course management.. know your shot play for your miss no reason you went in the water on that par 3
So you might have actually cracked the code in your introduction. You haven't broken 70 since you moved to Florida! Not sure if you've considered that maybe moving to Florida is the reason for your slump? Were there people where you were before that were more supportive did you have a different vibe a different home course a different coach different weather different temperament different whatever? Obviously that changed specifically might have done something dramatic that you're underestimating
Are you hurt? The post shot grunts are why I’m asking. My unqualified advice as a 12 handicapper, smile more, tell yourself you like this shot etc. You got this, kid! You may not realize it now but you are doing it! You’re actualizing your dreams like many amateur golfers can only dream of chasing. Also magnesium supplements are great :D
Stop counting your overall score while practicing and only count bogies. Pars, birdies and eagles don't mean anything. Shooting even par with six birdies and a bunch of bogies is what's destroying your rounds. Your new ultimate goal is to shoot even, meaning zero bogies throughout the round. Then take your bogie holes and figure out why you made that score. Get back to grinding over making your pars and your overall game will improve.
Ben, in my old man's opinion, I think there may be a deeper "truth." So I'll come out and say that I think you have a somewhat mild stimulant addiction. For someone who has been there, it seems as plain as the runny nose on your face. And your intensity level. If I'm wrong, I'm so sorry. Either way, you'll be fine.
Golf man. Keep grinding. Eventually it will get sorted. It took me 3 years after filming full time to figure out how to play consistently and better!
Thank you!! I’ll keep at it 👊
Well, slumps suck but, the videos and talk therapy process is awesome. Will continue to support your journey.
My notes from today's video:
1. Love this type of content, very honest and real
2. Golf is a really tough sport, don't be too hard on yourself
3. You miss a lot of approach shots short

Should have just hit a normal 6 just to see where it would go. You hit the ball pretty straight with all the irons and putting is pretty sharp. Find a happy place with the tee shots you’ll be good.
Stick with it Ben! No one said it would be easy. We all love you and hope this all works out! Keep grinding, keep improving, PRESS ON!

Your temp is so much better now, the irons are looking great, it's going to translate to scores soon.
More of the PLEASE GOD will take you to greater heights. You are one the most honest guys on You Tube. Praying for you Ben 🙏

Been with you moving to Florida it's difficult to play golf here especially if you're not used to Bermuda grass it can eat people up and spit you out
I like your Chanel for your honesty, your content is very good and I think is your strong point. Golf is very hard and very mental game. I would say to keep going to tournaments even if you don’t play good because that’s a niche that I don’t see many Chanel’s cover like you do, and wile you keep improving your golf you keep growing your Chanel
Distance control is an absolute must for good players; especially 8 iron and up.
Appreciate your candidness
GOLF IS HARD… KEEP ON GRINDING ⛳️
Been watching since you gave me a lesson at the round rock driving range; you had and have what it takes brother!
Saying the night before/morning of a round “Please god, don’t let me embarrass myself” is how 90% of golfers prepare for a round. Don’t worry Ben. You can do it!
youre not going to make it overnight bro..................head down and keep grinding everyday. Good video
Florida may be the toughest state in the country to play golf in. Between wind, sticky Bermuda grass, grainy putting surfaces, water and alligator land everywhere. It’s tough to go low. Your game maybe better than you think. Try a tournament somewhere else and see if you go low.

loving this videos man. helps us understand what goes through the mind of a pro golfer. keep em up!!!!
keep grinding dude the journey is the reward
You got the game now the head space needs to be worked on.
Every player on earth goes through slumps. Hardest part is trying to focus on the positives and not the negatives. For some reason that's really hard to do in golf. Keep pressing young man. Use the beginning of 2025 as beginning of a great chapter in your life
Keep grinding man it will all come together
We need another “What’s in the Bag!”
I dont think ive wanted anyone to succeed more then you man! Keep grinding
keep going man!
always a great watch!
That's self-empowerment!
Noticed you mentioned the wind a lot. A helping wind doesn't help as a much as you think. A hurting wind hurts more in relative terms.
The sweet spot has a podcast episode with the Ping guys on how weather affects the ball.
Good luck
A mallet style centre shafted is the easiest to line up. Give it a try.
Putting is the great equalizer. The rest of your game should always be good.
those Iron shots!
Strangely enough we were grouped together at the state championship in 2014 at WCC i'm like 90% sure. But on the question about the nerves on the first fairway and the passion driving you, maybe you need to investigate the passion. Sometimes passion is good, making us get out of bed and start the day. Sometimes it can drive us up a wall and cause us to question every movement. Passion has brought you this far and it was nice to have in the back of your mind during grind sessions, but maybe you need something more tangible in the back of your mind now to help you ground yourself in tournaments. As Tiger did, developing a pre-shot routine that you could do with your eyes closed, on one leg etc... Overall I think investing in the practice facility is key- it's going to make you feel like a golfer. Practicing on facilities when people let you is nice, but i always feel like i'm watching over my shoulder. I'm trying to practice for like 100 a month or less, and getting out to the course >5 hrs a week is pushing my limits with my life and responsibilities rn but i'm hoping that'll change soon. But for you, if 5 figures is in your budget then you need to do it. You'll only regret it later on if you only gave yourself three-quarters or half of a chance.
Ngl when I watched the video of you with that coach working on the changes he wanted and listening to his theories on the swing, I thought you’d go backwards. I’ve just been through something similar. Now working on finding my old swing again. Not all change is good change.
Yes, action matters. A ton. But you also say you want to feel good. How you feel follows how you think.
I would recommend reading “The path of no resistance” by Garrett Kramer.
Love the content. Maybe hit up a mental coach? You definitely have the tools to get there.
I’m 5 min and can say put the DF3 back in the bag. That putter wasn’t your issue
Ben about the putter. You got one that sounds really clicky. I've heard tell that that's some fancy pants putter. Please consider finding a "Stogie" putter. The reason is that there is absolutely no chance you will strike the ball unperpindicular... now that's a word.
Keep grinding
Ben I'm not sure if you have a sports psychologist that you deal with I know playing golf your brain can just go in 100,000 different ways every other hole I just know they can help quiet your mind and understand that it's just golf go do what you know how to do best and if you have a bad hole who cares it happens or if you have a bad round who cares it happens go get them Ben
Great video Ben. Been watching for a while and it was kinda hard to watch the tournament videos and seeing you struggle but this video was definitely better, a lot more positivity and a true insight on how you feel. 2025 is Ben's year 💪🏻
Question for you Ben - I’ve seen lots of TH-camrs changing putters on the regular (Pete Finch, Garrett, Grant, etc) to try to improve their putting. I’ve never really believed that putting is something that the club is going to make THAT much difference. What’s your thoughts?
Chip and putt more‼️
Hi Ben. There's a book that I think you would greatly benefit from by R.J. Spina called 'Change Your Mind'.
Hey Ben, I enjoy your content. How much do you work on your breathing? After many of your shots you let out what sounds kind of like a frustrated sigh. Are you holding your breath as you swing? I’m definitely not qualified to suggest something to someone of your ability, but weightlifters exhale as they exert effort and you might want to try breathing out steadily as you swing. Just a thought. Good luck as you chase your dreams!
The sooner you realize that golf is an imperfect game and accept that, the sooner you will play better golf.
@9:00 dont take something off. Step in a 7i. You had 20+ yards in front of the flag
Try the oz
Never heard you talk about on course nutrition. Got any advice for it
you better learn how to move the ball left to right then right to left at will then learn to hit more iron if need be to hit greens in reg. that's golf old school weather there better than here in Kansas go yotes
Ben if you dont have any confidence, please read Your 15th club by Bob Rotella. Is awesome to boost you confidence.
Just my opinion , but you should practice how you want to play. Golf is a game and you should treat it as such. Laugh when u mess up . Be all smiles when your playing good and meet new people in tournaments as potentially new friends that God has put in your path. But you already know stress is your #1 enemy on the course. It's not your swing it's the stress your putting on your swing.....so stop stressing and go have fun. Laugh at yourself when you screw up Hell everyone else is you might as well too. Bro it's a game stop making it life and death. I have had 3 heart attacks and pancreatic cancer in the last three years. I can't even play anymore .... Now I gotta have fun playing cards with my wife , but I enjoy what I have and you should too. Best of luck and God's got your back bro " no worries "
Do you think you try to hit too many shots? Scott preaches hitting one stock shot and not deviating i.e. Keith Mitchell tee ball, no matter the wind or hole shape he hits the same shot. You seem to try and finesse a lot

pga tour card is pretty delusional but id love to be proven wrong
....Bryan Bros golf course? That not a decent potential homebase?
Salina Kansas !

Also, if you don’t make it to the PGA, you aren’t a failure. Results aren’t everything….I think finding Jesus could help give you some peace there!
That putter was HOT 🥵 for you beginning of summer. See it! Feel it! Trust it!
way to heady
Ben! You good golfer! But I suggest you to stop playing the draw with the driver and woods. From the fairway you are good.
That double par 3 was just poor course management.. you play okay.. start taking course management serious and you’ll get there. All your “bad” shots are literally due to course management.. know your shot play for your miss no reason you went in the water on that par 3
He’s hitting a 60 degree 108 yards lol.
Most pros would chip a 56 or 52 to that yardage especially in the wind .
Take it from an oldish guy. Move back to KC and channel the energy you obviously get there. Reps can be replicated, that can’t.
So you might have actually cracked the code in your introduction. You haven't broken 70 since you moved to Florida! Not sure if you've considered that maybe moving to Florida is the reason for your slump? Were there people where you were before that were more supportive did you have a different vibe a different home course a different coach different weather different temperament different whatever? Obviously that changed specifically might have done something dramatic that you're underestimating
Are you hurt? The post shot grunts are why I’m asking.
My unqualified advice as a 12 handicapper, smile more, tell yourself you like this shot etc. You got this, kid! You may not realize it now but you are doing it! You’re actualizing your dreams like many amateur golfers can only dream of chasing.
Also magnesium supplements are great :D
Stop counting your overall score while practicing and only count bogies. Pars, birdies and eagles don't mean anything. Shooting even par with six birdies and a bunch of bogies is what's destroying your rounds. Your new ultimate goal is to shoot even, meaning zero bogies throughout the round. Then take your bogie holes and figure out why you made that score. Get back to grinding over making your pars and your overall game will improve.
Something will click and you’ll become dangerous out there!
Why not just work part time at a nice club and have the playing and practice privileges
Why not you ?
You are too high strung man. Loosen up and the results will come
Ben, in my old man's opinion, I think there may be a deeper "truth." So I'll come out and say that I think you have a somewhat mild stimulant addiction. For someone who has been there, it seems as plain as the runny nose on your face. And your intensity level. If I'm wrong, I'm so sorry. Either way, you'll be fine.
You are allowed to not film tournament play
What rule says that?
what a stupid comment, like the bryan bros film there pga tour events all the time. Every person can do it...
The comment is for Ben, because maybe not filming will help him out of the slump
@billglab9044 that's how the money is made man. Even after a bad tournament, he can still make some money from these videos.
