Going Pro Golf Blog

This past weekend I encountered my first brush with a bad mental game.  Anyone who has golfed at any level has struggled with their mental game from time-to-time but I have hit a very serious wall.  It all revolves around my driver.  It isn’t that I can’t hit it, it is that I can’t even bear to look down at it as I address the ball.  It is pure fear.  I think about missing the ball at address, during the backswing and again during the downswing.  I don’t have this issue with my other woods but something about the driver scares me and it is killing my game.  I haven’t had a lesson with Jon in weeks but will be seeing him this Friday.  Jon has done a lot with mental game development and I plan on talking to him about this at length.  Pray for me!
