Too Many Thoughts Over the Ball? Think, Feel, Play It!

"Is this the right club?", "But I'm hitting fades today", "Did the wind just change?", "Am I taking too long?" -- how many of these thoughts go through your head when you're playing? TOO MANY
But we need SOME thinking! So in this video I walk through my favorite system for thinking JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT before a shot, and then getting down to executing some awesome shots!

Tiger's How I Play Golf: amzn.to/3KHalyD
THIS BOOK IS AMAZING. Teaches you all the stuff you would have to spend years figuring out on the course, has tons of pictures and clear explanations, and stands the test of time (I've had my copy over 20 years, and everyone I've recommended it to, loves it).

WHO IS THIS GUY
Hey - I'm Manu, a full-time desk-jobber and part-time golfer living in the San Francisco Bay Area. After 23 YEARS of mindless hacking, I finally got my act together and dropped my handicap from ~12 to scratch.
What I learned is we waste a lot of time at the range, but there are SO MANY THINGS you can do to get big results IMMEDIATELY. And so I make videos to share what I've learned and help you make the journey WAY faster (and with less frustration). Hope this is helpful!

In the play box, i dont have a swing thought i just count and make sure i hit thè ball before i reach 10....

[@upbeatgolfer]

Love that - first time I've heard of it! Does the counting also help you relax?

[@spodbw1]

Absolutely, I've also found, if you count slow you do your backswing slow.

[@upbeatgolfer]

Oh that's interesting, and seems so simple now that you mention it! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Manu! Stumbled on the channel and have enjoyed the videos I’ve watched so far. I like your approach….nothing technical and for a feel player like myself, I’m able to connect with the content better 💪🏻 I’m trying to boost my mental game…love the Think, Feel, Play box concept. Looking forward to other videos! 👍

[@upbeatgolfer]

Thanks Andrew! Glad you found it useful and great to have you here. And thanks for the comment - it means a lot! 😃

manu coming in every week with the freshest kicks. Lets gooo!

[@upbeatgolfer]

Haha love it! It's the best part. Thank you for encouraging me to indulge in my sneaker habit 😅

[@GeewahMak]

Shoes add 20 yards to each shot :). Really enjoy all the pre shot routine content. keep it up Manu!

[@upbeatgolfer]

Ha you know it! And the shinier the shoe the more yardage you get!
Thank you! Glad you liked it bud 😃

[@gerdamarsh]

Thanks for these videos => I watched for the 1st time this morning and then had my best round of the season. Coincidence? Or Belief? We will see what happens tomorrow.

[@upbeatgolfer]

Belief! Belief! Haha that is awesome! You gotta tell us what happened in the next round!

[@gerdamarsh]

@@upbeatgolfer I played really well again, best round of season on the course I played (3 strokes higher than 1st day, but still good for me)

[@upbeatgolfer]

It works!!! We've solved golf 😅
