Rinker’s Golf Tips Jan 19th Dr. Bob Winters. @RinkersGolfTips on @SiriusXMPGATOUR Host @LarryRinker had on special guest Dr. Bob Winters, who specializes in Sports Vision and Sports Medicine. Dr. Bob has a new book coming out Masters week titled, Mistake-Free Golf, which goes over the nine most common mental errors all golfers make. Dr. Bob said, “The most important number in golf is one and that is the next shot.” He stated that many golfers have conditional confidence, which is results orientated, and therefore susceptible to a loss of confidence after one poor shot. Another mental error is worrying about what other people think or social evaluation anxiety. Dr. Bob said, “we have to play our game, not someone else’s and it’s just you, the ball, and the target. Disconnect from everything else.” To gain trust in your game, there is the building block of composure. With repeated exposure to being uncomfortable, which he described as stretching your risk potential, we learn how to better execute when it matters most to us. Lastly he said, “KISS which is not keep it simple stupid, but keep it simple and specific.” RinkersGolfTips is on weekly 9:00-10:00 am EST on Sirius 208 and XM 93.
