Ugh... the timing of this vid is on point. My last two rounds, my expectations were much higher than my score card was showing. (for me it was off the tee issues) and I had to scramble big time for 18holes. you're 100% right about We're the biggest critic of our own game.
We totally are! But the great thing about that is it's totally in our control to fix, and it takes way less time than we think. When I learned this, I changed overnight - it was awesome. Did you change your expectations after those rounds?
My + handicap playing partner is the cockiest golfer I know. Before he hits a bunker shot he will always say hes going to put it super close, but then will proceed to put it super close. He's super confident in his game and I am not. I've started forcing myself to be confident and forgetting about bad shots and the small tweak to my attitude shaved a minimum of 3 shots
I'm glad he rubbed off on you! I have a buddy who's super self-deprecating but once in a while he'll say "watch this" and hit a ridiculously good shot. I'm like "why don't you say that every time?!" It's almost like being cocky can turn on a different mode in our heads (as long as we turn down the volume on the doubting voices in there...)
Great video! I’m realizing that this is the part of my game I need to work on most. I have definitely been that pouty playing partner that nobody wants to be around. I get so hung up on the technical things that sometimes it paralyzes me and makes it almost impossible to make a good swing. Good rounds have turned into really bad ones after a bad shot or two sends me into a spiral. I’ve realized that the times I’ve played the best is when I was enjoying myself and who I was with. If you’re not having fun playing golf, then what is the point?
1000%! It's called PLAYing golf right?! Also, big kudos to you for the self-awareness that you might be the pouty playing partner - that is huge. Re: the one or two bad shots that send you into a spiral - if you don't mind sharing, I'd be interested to hear what you're thinking after those shots that you think gets the spiral going?
@@upbeatgolfer super helpful - went out today and applied your ideas and had one of my top 10 rounds of the season. And had more fun not pouting and being mad at myself.
@@upbeatgolfer that's easy - the "yelling at your inner child" really struck a chord with me in the anger segment. This past week I've been quietly talking to myself after a poor shot in a soothing way, no more anger or yelling. It definitely helps me.
That is amazing! Love hearing that. Personally I've found it really helps in other parts of life too (maybe you have the same experience?). My life overall got a lot more chill once I decided that every part of me was on my side. Would love to hear more about your experience if you'd like to share but no pressure!

Hey everybody, it's Tony Robbins.... Tommy Boy

Hey Manu! Do you edit videos by yourself, or have you hired someone? I can help if you’re interested.
Hey Abdul - I do them myself but would love to chat about how you could help! Do you mind dropping me an email (upbeatgolfer at Gmail)?
@@upbeatgolfer Cool! I just dropped you an email.
3 words to stop saying: shank yip blade
True dat. Though it's ok if you're saying them to your opponent 🤪 I kid I kid
@@upbeatgolfer no you don’t, and that makes you a man! A true friend would say those things to me and pass me a beer!
Haha you caught me! I definitely mess with my friends, especially if there's a game on 😃
