Hello.
I'm Brian Fitzgerald The Golf Doctor.
And today we are going to talk about how we can resurrect a bad round.We've all done it.

Is there anything we can do to help that?
So if you're interested in this.
Stay tuned.

Hello, I'm Brian Fitzgerald The Golf Doctor.
If this is your first time to this channel.
This channel is all about helping you play better golf.
And today we are going to try to help you resurrect a bad round.
We know we have done it.
We have started double bogey, double bogey, double bogey.
Which is very different to the plan we had when we started the round.
We were after par, par, par.
So today I have Rod and Ashley.
Come in here guys.
So Ashley is a performance psychologist and is a specialist in helping us think better.
And Rod.
The bad news for you is you have just started the day double, double, double.
How are you feeling at the moment?
Very frustrated.
Yep.
And of course you would be thinking about changing your swing wouldn't you.
Because your swing is to blame.
You have lost your swing.Yeah.
So.
Is that the right thought process Ash?
Look.
It's not.
Because changing your swing mid round is a very difficult thing to do.
Uum and it's like we can't change our equipment.
We can't change our swing.
We are not going to get physically any better during the mid round.
So but we can actually think better.
And that's what we are going to work on today.
Ok.
So what should Rod be thinking?
He started double, double, double.
He's playing the 4th hole which is a par 3 about 135 yards.
What can he do?
So, first of is to take stock of what he is thinking.
Where his thoughts are at.
And what are your thoughts?
What would be the toughts that are going through your mind at this stage Rod?
Well unfortunately at the moment they are in the past.
They are not looking forward they are looking back at the mistakes that I've made.
Right.
And experiencing the frustration as a result of that.
Yes.
So what we actually need to I heard a great saying the other day.
Which is.
We actually our mind needs to be where our feet are.
Which is actually a way of saying we need to stay in the present.
Yep.
Forget about the past.
Don't think about the future.
We are here right now.
Our mind needs to there right now.And there will still be a level of frustration.
And we actually need to acknowledge that.
We actually need to go I'm actually frustrated at the moment And maybe if you have got a
caddy or a mate who you are playing with maybe let them know.
Gee this is frustrating.
To actually verbalize that and acknowledge that is actually a way of actually releasing
that a little bit.
The second thing I think would be to see at as an opportunity.
So see this moment it started badly it's gone to it's been a bit of a bomb.
The first couple of holes.
But to see it as an opportunity to actually think about maybe think a little bit forward.
Imagine if I was actually able to resurrect this round.
How good would that be.
It would be a great story.
It would be a terrific story.
So to see this as an opportunity.
To restart things.
The third thing is to actually and I have written about this is that we have to change
our physiology.
That we are actually with frustration comes tension.
Yep.
And our our our heart rate is probably increased a little bit but for a reason that isn't real
I suppose.
And we actually need to umm.
Change our physiology a little bit.
To actually find a way to calm and that's where sometimes our pre shot routine can help
us with that.
But Jordan Speith this year in the British Open did an amazing job in turning around
a bad round in his last round.
It's one of the best examples I have seen.
Yep.
And I believe him actually hitting that shot.
Way right on the 14th hole I think it was.
And actually it took him a long time to hit the next shot.
And he was trapesing up and down the dunes and things.
He actually changed his physiology, ah which actually led to him going on a great last
couple of holes.
Probably the best last couple of holes in British Open golf.And I think that change
in physiology enabled him to change his mind set.
And I believe that as golfers we don't do enough of that.
We actually start badly and we start dropping the shoulders and we get into this sort of
this really bad mind set.
Where as if we were able to actually do something a bit physical.
Maybe do some stretches, maybe a couple of lunges on the next tee it would look very
strange to your fellow playing partners but would actually change or physiology which
can then change our mind set.
We will actually go into a better phase of golf.
I've seen golfers trying to change there physiology after they've hit the bad shot they use the
axe method they get the club and they bury it {laughter} is that the sort of physiological
change you are thinking?
No well that's probably increasing the tension a little bit further.
Damn.
So by actually doing a couple of physical things um it actually might give us a reason
to have a higher blood pressure and then we need to just calm down with some deeper breathing.
So if we are breathing into our diaphragm.
Which is deep into our stomach.
The our breathing will actually slow our heart rate down.
Ok.
So can you coach Rod in getting that happening.
And we will see Rod hit a shot and we see if we can resurrect that round.
Sure.
Yep Over to you.
Ok so Rod.
We are standing behind the ball here.
We have had a bad round.
Or a bad start to the round.
And um we're fairly frustrated.
So um what I want you to do is to stand behind the ball and maybe just do a couple of ah
stretches to help limber you know to re set your physiology.
So what would be a stretch that you would be comfortable in doing at this stage.
Um I think it is mostly in the shoulders as I think when ah and I have had bad starts
to rounds and the tension starts to build in the shoulders I think and then across the
back of the neck so I'd like to make sure I can release those shoulders and maybe take
a few slow deep breaths and just let those shoulders fall and try and get rid of that
tension there so it might not necessarily be a stretch but it's about trying to make
sure I am releasing the tension in the shoulders and with the arms.
And sometimes it can be actually good to put a number on it.
So um with your tension levels.
You know if we were to normally operate at a tension level of around a 6 or a 7.
Um when we get frustrated we might reach up to around a 9 but we are actually wanting
to bring that back down.
So actually say to yourself Ok I am at a tension level of an 8 or a 9.
Ok how can I put a number on it ok lets get it back down to a number that I am comfortable
with.
I understand that.
It's about identifying where are you at on the scale.
And you are in the process of bringing that back down.
Yeah.
Yep Cool.
And the deep breaths.
Another thing to do would be to put your hands on your stomach.
And to actually see your hands go out as you actually breathe in.
And then hold it for a couple of seconds.
And then, and then umm breathe out.
Let you breathe in deeply into your diaphragm which will slow your physiology down.
Yep Ok.
And now we just go through our pre shot routine.
Where we are doing our thinking behind the ball.
Yep.
You're testing the conditions.
Going in maybe have a couple of swings to release that tension a bit more.
Are you feeling a bit more relaxed in the shoulders?
Yeah.
That's settling down a little bit.
At least I am focused on going forward instead of what's been happening in the past 3 holes.
So you are staying in the present.
Hit.
Great.
Yeah.
Very good shot.
Well done.
Thank you.
Has that helped?
Yes it does.
It's about trying to manage that frustration from the past but re focusing on the go forward
position.
Tension is a big one to.
Yep.
And if we can get rid of that tension.
Thanks Ash.
Once again.
I know I have learned something here.
We expect big things from you Rod.
The next round of golf.
I'll keep you posted.
It's a learning experience.
This is as important as learning a new grip or learning a new take away or learning a
new swing thought.
Yet most people don't even think of it.
When you think you are out there playing.
You spend most of your time thinking.
Yet people spend a lot of money on golf lessons.
Yep.
They should be spending more money with Ash. [laughter] You can do a lot more good from
there.
I'm not saying don't get golf lessons but you really need to work on the mental aspect.
Thanks again.
So ah thank you for letting us help you with your golf.
