Golf is sooo much in the mind... you have the ability... just realise how lucky you are and enjoy
You’ve got this James, you know you can shoot an 8 under and be in contention. Just keep on grinding. 2024 will be your year.
It is what it is indeed. See the shot, hit the ball. Keep grinding. We support you good or bad day. Go gadget go!
When things get physically, mentally, and emotionally challenging- you’re being tested to see if you truly deserve whatever it is your striving for- stay the course you’re on the right path
Your attitude has just done me a massive favour, thank you .
Your very fortunate James to be doing what you’re doing,just bloody enjoy yourself.
Focus on Enjoying your golf.
All the best
Cheers Tony!
Cheers Tony!
James if you concentrate on getting your short game to tour standard, it will take all the pressure away from your long game.Then there will be no fear in missing a fairway or a green, allowing you to concentrate on your target each shot.You clearly have the desire and ball striking ability to shoot sub par rounds consistently.Dont be disheartened my friend.
A very honest and accurate appraisal of your current feelings.This public announcement will in itself help you achieve the mind set you strive to create.Even an old duffer like me can relate to the gremlin that is the swing thought.You have the tools to leave him in the car park.Hone your alignment,concentrate on the shot in hand,your breathing,your hydration and the next thing you know all of a sudden your tempo has returned which in itself will very often deal with any technical issues without the torment of the dreaded swing thought gremlin.You have the support of all your subscribers.I look forward to giving you a game of snooker when your in town next.
P=P-I (Performance = Potential - Interference). It's always been about mentality with you James. I've said many times that you've got one of the best swings on YT. You know you need to get out of your own way and that's the key.
Good luck to a good lad, keep striving and make it happen tomorrow.
Keep your head up mate, tomorrows a new day I know its easy to say but do your best that's all you can do, put that round behind you & there's no pressure tomorrow!
Thanks for sharing and being honest. Just keep it simple and it will come. Good luck
Unlucky. I definitely doubted your ambitions but over the last couple years I haven't missed a video and changed my tune massively. Takes balls to say what you want and go for it. Your golf has improved massively and I enjoy all your content. Hope you get there.
Just keep on going, you know you are good enough
Awesome to follow your journey and finally meet you today! Could’ve caddied for you
Bro was a pleasure to be in your group, shame you were just on the bag and not playing! Let’s have a game in Feb
You know that this is as relatable as you can get. I will be interested to see what you do now tomorrow if you truly free your mind and don’t think about the score but the shot in front of you.
Low points can be a great opportunity to push the reset button. You are totally right that it is almost 100% psychological because your game is sound and obviously 15 shots better than +11.
You going to get it back james, sad to hear this happned. Goodluck today and go play a good round we all know you can do it.
Oh mate ☹ keep your head up. That's the bad stuff out of your system. We're all behind you 👍👍👍👍
Pre shot routine is your friend - exactly same physical moves, same pace, same thoughts at the same time. On the range on the course.
Is what it is, all part of the process. Sounds like you’ve learnt what you can from it. Put it to bed and go as low as you can in the next round 👍
I've been listening to a lot of Bob Rotella audio books. It's made a world of difference to my mental game. Honestly think the audio books themselves have helped me drop about 2 or 3 shots on my handicap.
1, write down what you want to do and hopes of what you want to do it, the mind takes it in much better. 2, breathing- take 3 deep breaths in through your nose and let them out slowly each time to a count of 5.
I feel for ya mate, I’ve been there done that. The hardest thing for me was staying in love with the game that keeps on beating me up. Turning up to tournaments after putting in days of practice only to shoot 80, fx&in embarrassing especially when the winning score is like 8 under (for 18 holes).
You just gotta keep on 👊
James your putting your self down , your a fantastic golfer atrue gentleman , rise above it, tommorows another day❤
Phil hope you stay active in 2024 and have a fulfilling tournament schedule. Stay cocky / confident. The game is awesome and keep yourself competitive
No pressure golf with kids and mates is different gravy. Just shows how big the mental aspect is to being "that good"
Respect for sharing the good and the not so good James - more power to you💪🏌️
Hi James, Rory Mcilroy had a meltdown in the Masters some time back and he said he started hitting the ball like a 20 handicapper. Asked to explain, he said, he started to think about the mechanics of his swing. Also, a good guide is to make sure you keep your arms nice and loose. Under pressure, many people tighten up and end up with a sore neck the next day. Keep those shoulders and arms loose at set up.
Rory's 20 h'cap is more like a 5 h'cap to us.
Agree, but finding out he thought about his swing mechanics when normally he doesn't is key.@@DanTuber
You already have your mindset in place to improve your next round. See, React and Execute. We all know you got this! Heck that's why we watch the channel.
Have a read of Zen Golf if you haven't already. Based on Buddhism, it talks a lot about being present in the moment, which is what you're talking about. Lots of cross ocer woth Bob Rotella but more accesible and less wordy. I've bookmarked a few tips with post-its that resonated with me so I can go back quickly and easily for reference. Ill have a quick referesher before a big comps, and it helps me a lot. I dont always score better, but i usually enjoy the round more 🧘🏻♀️
James, uv got nothing to worry about - I'd post the round coz the haters will still hate and Ull then own it, remember and learn from it - just stop thinking on the course and don't feel like u want to apologise. Supporters support good or bad mate
We've all been there bru, I really respect your reflection. Chin up, trust the work you've put in. Its beautiful when it clicks.
Take the learnings and move on James you have the right mindset! 👍
Dude I had a terrible 2023 year for tournament golf. It happens. I totally get your emotions. Any tournament player just gets it. Maybe just recognize that you played GOLF poorly and that it happens and it's normal and also frustrating.
Start to love and embrace YOUR golf ability because it will eventually turn around and your scores will be back to where you want it to be. Relax. Relax relax relax relax relax. TRUST yourself❤❤❤❤❤
keep going pal!
James your being to harsh on your self, what I see is a really good golfer and a very polite young man, onwards and upwards❤
I’m sure you talked about this earlier this year too because I feel like I got this from you. Swing thoughts are the absolute killer every time. Play so much better when I visualise my shot and just go swing.
Hard to consistently put yourself in that spot for 3+ hours
Dont worry !! Your be back keep positive !
Ever thought or have you ever seen a psychology coach in obtaining a better mind set? It’s obviously not the physical part of your game you have such a great talent of strike! Good luck in the next round and just enjoy the moment!
Top lad.
Bob Rotella, a well-known sports psychologist, has said that the hardest part of golf is played between the ears. I used to play club tournaments and it would ruin my weekend when i played crap.. these days i just play with mates at the weekends and just enjoy the game and company and I'm playing the best golf iv ever played. Good luck with the next round James, i think if you really can play like you don't care what the score is you will be surprised how low you can go . That said if it was that easy ......
You've brought a similar topic up before, earlier this year? I seem to remember you saying something along the lines of feeling super relaxed/more casual... Find that video and go back to that same thought 👌 loving the vids mate
You still seem in very good spirit, so that's a positive to take. Onwards.
I watched Tiger once in ione of the majors he was miles off the lead and struggling and what struck me was how he was still grinding on his game no give up in him . He said after the rpund there is always something you can learn he was working on his mind set . Remember you can't beat somebody that wont quit pick yourself up and go again this is saying how much do you want it . Youve had a bad round so what?
All you can do is keep putting yourself in these situations and hopefully you get used to them and learn then come out the other side. Sometimes you'll be bad and other times you will be good. I know that sounds pretty obvious but sometimes people look to deep to try and figure stuff out when it could be just pretty simple like you just didn't have your game that day. All you can do is have a little think try and pick something out to learn from and carry on, Don't bother pondering over it, Usually people do and remember all the bad stuff and it over shadows all the good stuff you've done in the past. Good luck in the future rounds you'll be smashing it sooner or later.
Well said!
You definitely have a game that can do well but I think you need to find a swing (be 85-90%) where you are in control of the face and contact with the ball and apply that throughout the bag and have a 'goto' shot shape. Youre plenty long enough but should strive for consistency ( fairways and greens, a stratedgy of birdieing every par 5, working back from green if you have to, etc ) - keep plugging away !🤙
James mate you got the game, get some kip and go again sir.
I heard or read recently that in a golf round you can either work on your score, or your swing, but not both... Good luck in the next round - that's golf!
Thanks for your thoughts.
Hope tomo goes well.
I know exactly how you feel.....when im relaxed and not playing competition golf i can smooth it round level par comfortable and if my timing is really on im capable of playing plus golf....but i get in my head when it comes to competition golf and i try to hard and wreck my round. So frustrating when im looking at the other golfers knowing if i could just relax i can beat them no probs but i dont know how to get in to that mental place .The only little thing ive found helps me abit is making sure i play at my natural rhythm and not somebody else's. I wish i knew the answer james but your a great golfer mate and more than capable just believe that and look at the opposition with a view to there not on your level try fill yourself with confidence because it sounds like thats what your lacking a touch of....its certainly not ability you have that in abundance 👍
Chin up mate. Tomorrow's another day.
Yeah, been there and done that, mate. More times than I care to remember. :-) Hang in there. Having played with you and I know you have game. Somehow you just have to find your way to clear the mind, free it up mentally and play golf naturally. Don't even think of target or what you are trying to do over the ball. All of that stuff, practice swings, etc. has to open before you get into the shot zone and over the ball. Get over the ball and do it. Hang in there, Bud.
You have been honest with us, we’ve have seen the work you have done and your improvement over the past couple of years. I admire you for that. I, and I strongly suspect the vast majority of viewers, want you to do well, we know you have ability. Maybe just watch some videos of yourself playing well, just say to yourself, ‘I am a good player’, then just embrace whatever happens.
Onwards and upwards!
Keep ya chin up lad, relax and good things will come 👍🏻😉
As a keyboard warrior, my suggestion/recommendation is to talk to a psychologist about fight and flight response under pressure and what “triggers” to use when you’re in those situations. Had similar issues in regards to write exams at uni and got some basic understanding of fight or flight response and what work with. Passed all the tests after a couple of sessions and never got the mental blocks. Keep on grinding
Golf is shite at times. Remember the best golfer has the shortest memory! 👊👊
I call that, turning up without my golfing brain.
looking like Jimmy hill
I feel like the more tournaments you play the better it will get. Train your brain the way you train your body
Hi James - have u ever considered that it's not your swing or your head that's wrong - it was simply that your clubface was pointing too far to the left or right at impact - this sounds dumb and obvious but blew my mind when I fully understood it - out of interest what do you think ur score would've been if you had delivered a straightish clubface during your round today and kept strike just the same? All the best J - love the channel
Sounds like you need some advice from the legend that is Flower.
It's your first tournament back in SA. Also remember the to use the new mental approach you started in England. Learn from it and move forward mate
Don’t worry about the result James, first comp back in a while . It’s not about the ability when you get back into competing again , scores will come down rapidly just from putting yourself out there more and more.
Your easily good enough to win these events with your length and ability, it’s just a process of putting yourself in that uncomfortable position more and more to eventually play your best in that environment
Good luck tomorrow
James, you have commented many times that your problem is in your mind. When you want to improve your swing, you see a professional. You need to improve your mind, so why aren't you seeing a professional? I suggest that someone using NLP and Hypnosis could help you change your mindset very quickly. I know there are many 'golf psychologists' on the tours, ask the best performers who they use. Best wishes.
Tee it up ,hit it walk after it and hit it again don't over think the game.Repeat and see how you get on.
Chin up bud
Only one way out of this James, just play more competitions.
James out of curiosity did your session with Marcus Bell help with your game? From a mental standpoint is he worth seeing again although I know he's not a purely mental coach.
Chin up and its all part of the learning curve mate. If you are up for a good read which helped me back in the day, then read golf is not a game of perfect by Dr. Bob Rotella and remember tomorrow is a new day go low
Definitely worth doing a couple comps without a camera to see how you shoot.
I honestly think maybe speaking to a professional. my mates son works with trent alexander-arnold. the top guys speak to people, its not a weakness, it really helps a lot of top sports people.
Hard to play a comp knowing that the filming is there in the back of your mind, got to be a little distraction.
When you are at that level does it simply come down to the psychological aspect of the game? Maybe talking to a professional psychologist might help for when you start to shoot bad round the course and get you back on track?
It’s clear that you’re a talented golfer and I enjoy watching you but sadly it’s equally clear that you haven’t got the mental attributes to succeed in pro tournaments. I had the same problem with cricket. Perhaps you should concentrate on what you’re good at. I wish you well and hope you sort it out.
Couldn’t disagree more, no reason why you can’t work on your mentality and you’ll only grow from these processes.
When was your last tournament before this? If you have not played serious golf for a while and have been making swing changes you have a perfect storm to set up the kind of day you had. It seems you had a lot of expectations and got very judgmental and when things started poorly compounded errors with the round getting away from you.. You need to talk to your friend Steve about how to keep it together when things are going south, he will have bad rounds but not 11 over and will have mental techniques to stop the bleeding.
James, start to not give a shit about the shot your facing, because you have the talent and skill to recover from mis hit shots.
Chin up and move on !
100% between the ears. Don't overthink it.
Don’t know what to say bout that really pal!!🤔
If i could only be embarrassed with 11 over,keep it going,we all have off days,and why you changed your swing i dont know,it looks fine for me.
I suggest you either commit to posting every round or don’t post any at all. Otherwise you’ll be thinking about this decision to post or not on the course. Anyone who understands competitive golf knows that +11 is going to happen once in awhile, we just want to watch you play. Plus, at least for me, watching you struggle is equally compelling to watching you shoot a few under. #WhereIsFlower
You need a caddie that can stop u thinking too much. one of the lads or even your missus
The good news is, that round is in the past. Fuck it. Every shank you hit is a lesson about what not to do. You're a golfer bud. Your swing is fucking nuts, your chipping has come miles, and you're right there... If you feel like you need it, get a sports psychologist, but honestly I think you've got what it takes and just don't know it. Trudge on. It wouldn't be an honor to make it if it were easy. It'll happen.
What shot is hurting you the most? When you practice make it a money game always, you want to be aplaying pro then you have to be "A Pro" in all aspects of your life, its that simple there is no room for negatives and doubts , youhave to be more selfish and targeted, forget the round , Cam Smith shot 8over in his last 2 rounds in the Aussie open, so fuck it,
Leave the camera at home tomorrow mate. Just concentrate on your game
Way to many swing changes
Golf is a raft of good followed by shit at any level. You obviously didn't get enough flyery lies 😅
James, you need to be more arrogant in your thinking. Wake up every day, look in the mirror and say "I am the best golfer in the world!". Only when you start believing how good you are, the negative thoughts will always win. Stop filming yourself in competitions, and tell us about it afterwards!!
Come on mate you are a lot better than this pick your chin up and just show what you can produce on a golf course blank these bad thoughts out and be positive 👍
You are a decent ball striker and TH-cam golfer, but not good enough to be on any tour that will make you money.
Your talented but you haven’t got the talent to succeed in professional golf they are in a completly different league you haven’t got the mindset and mental strength of the professionals stick to doing TH-cam content you would earn more through TH-cam than professional golf tournaments
