It’s All in Your Head
Have you ever read one
golf player’s valuable advice, only to find
the next day a different professional
vehemently disagreeing and advocating the
exact opposite? One pro fanatically advises
to keep your head straight. Later, another
person comes along and gives completely
contradictory advice.
What’s a golfer to do?
Listen to me, of
course.

We’re all different,
and no two people play exactly alike. So
don’t get too caught up in this or that
different method.
But there are some
basic fundamentals that can make you or
break you. And I’m advising – fanatically –
that you keep your head absolutely still and
not move it from the spot in which you
start.
You can’t keep your
head still if you stiffen your muscles. By
keeping your head still, you loosen up and
this allows you to finish your stroke
smoothly and naturally. Keeping your head
still also prevents slicing since you don’t
have to draw your hands in to keep your
balance.
One championship winner
admitted that every time he stepped up to
the ball, at every shot he repeated to
himself, “Keep your head still. Keep your
head still.” It’s a vital aspect to the
game too many players overlook.
You will find yourself
improving rapidly if you just master this
one detail. If you happen to make a
terrible stroke then focus on keeping your
head still on the next stroke and you’ll do
better.
See, when your head is
still, your ability to see the ball at every
point in the swing is enhanced. How can you
watch the ball if your head is jerking here
and there?
This is one sure way to
build confidence in your golf game. Keep
your head so still that you wouldn’t jar a
glass of water perched on top of it, and
look at the ball when you make your stroke.
You’ll see the ball clearly and hit it more
accurately.
No matter how nervous
you are when you’re playing, these two tips
- keeping your head still and your eye on
the ball - will help you play a better game.
