have you ever had a song stay in your head all throughout your golf game. even if it's just the chorus or 2 lines, it won't get out of your mind. and even when you try to block it out before taking your shot, it almost immediately starts playing in your head right after the golf ball leaves your club face.
when i hear a nice song and listen to it so much that i know the tune and can recite the lyrics, i didn't expect that it would lead to consequences on the golf course.
During the SLGA amateur open, i had to come up with a way to successfully block the songs blasting in my head while keeping its usefulness in keeping my mind free in between shots.
1. observe the things around you - keep it specific
eg: I see a tree with red leaves, I see a bird cleaning itself
2. note the sounds you can hear
eg: i hear heavy traffic, i hear a woodpecker
it's a great way to stay in the present because you bring your attention back to the shot at hand.
