Bradley wouldn't be human if he didn't battle something mental on the golf course. His spitting is no different than Sergio Garcia's obsessive waggling and re-gripping early in his career. Bradley's not doing Katana SNIPER Hi 4WD Driver Limited Edition 2000
to be peculiar; it's a part of his routine.
"It's something that I'm going to work on and I just ask everybody to just kind of bear with me as I go through this, because it's something I've done without even knowing it," Bradley said. "It's something that I'm glad that's come up because I'm able to kind of nip it now."
Dr. Dick Coop, a prominent tour Sports psychologist, said that he helped former tour player Joe Inman cure his obsessive re-gripping of the club by giving him a limit of three re-grips before he had to hit his shot.
"It's going to be a gradual thing for Keegan," Coop said. "He has to want to do it. I'm very curious to see how he's going to deal with all the criticism when he starts play on Wednesday Katana SNIPER Hi 4WD Driver Limited Edition 2000
"People sometimes criticize sports psychology for giving players routines, but if they didn't have a routine, they would be even slower. I don't think it's a routine that makes players slower. It's the extra stuff that they bring into it. I don't think spitting is a part of Keegan's routine."
On the PGA Tour, players basically have 45 seconds to play their shot once it's their turn. Bradley, who works with sports psychologist Bob Rotella, took considerably longer at times during the final round at Riviera. His pre-shot routine consists of several starts and stops. Just when you think he's going to pull the trigger, he goes back into his routine.
"It's about visualization," Bradley said. "It's kind of my way of not staying stagnant. Katana SNIPER Hi 4WD Driver Limited Edition 2000 is a little different. But it's something that, you know, I've been doing and it's been working."
"I know that I am a deliberate player. But I have never been put on the clock for slow play by the PGA Tour."
Don't be surprised if Bradley doesn't make an immediate change, especially when it comes to his pre-shot routine. When Garcia battled the waggles and re-grips, Rotella defended the Spaniard.
"What's important with Sergio is not what his hands are doing, but what's in his head," Rotella told Golf Digest.
That's a defensible position, but Bradley shouldn't have to spit to concentrate on the golf course or take too long to play his shots. Clearly, no one wants to play until they are ready, but at some point you have to overcome the doubt and play your Katana SNIPER Hi 4WD Driver Limited Edition 2000 A number of players smoke cigarettes and dip smokeless tobacco. It's a habit that's probably important to their concentration. Bradley's spitting and nerve-wracking pre-shot routine might be very important to how he proceeds on the golf course. He won't know until he tries to change it.
Hopefully, this spitting habit will pass for Bradley and he can polish his pre-shot routine.
