Do You Struggle to Swing Freely in Tournaments?

Does your golf swing feel controlled as if you have the full swing yips?

In this week’s golf psychology session, mental game of golf expert and author of The Mental Game of Golf, Dr. Cohn, responds to a question from  Robert who had this to say about his game:

ROBERT: The front nine on my driver seems fine. When I start the back nine, I can’t start my downswing without some type of pause or hitch and then the next thing you know it’s all upper body and I pull dead left. I go to the driving range before and after my round and my swing is totally fine on my driver with shots that go straight. Please help me!

Listen to the podcast now to learn what Dr. Cohn has to say about how to make your golf swing simple and not think too much of the mechanics to avoid over control.
