Crooked Necks

One of the main reasons people can’t successfully play golf is because of what’s between their ears. The expression “paralysis by analysis” is especially true with golfers.

Think about it for a second, you get mad and you see a tree after hitting a bad shot, you then proceed to walk over to the tree and plant your right foot (assuming you’re right handed). You then twist your body back and to your right and then uncoil your body back around to the left and with the most efficient movement you wrap the club around the tree in total frustration.

Now, before you wrapped that club around the tree, I’ll bet you didn’t let your weight fall outside of your right foot, I’d be willing to bet you were very well braced and then pushed off that foot to propel your golf club into that tree.

My point is simple…I see golfers doing simply stupid things because they are “thinking” themselves into trouble. You wouldn’t slam your golf club into a tree doing obvious, counter productive, and self destructive things, but you’ll hit a golf ball and do stupid things galore.
