A Recipe for Lower Golf Scores!
While we’re playing good golf, our minds are peaceful and experiencing fun. While playing poor golf, our state of mind is busy, at best, and border-line chaotic in reality. Good golf may last a while but we always feel we “left one out there”. It may last for several rounds, a nine, or a round; front or usually back nine, a few holes or even a hole; usually the last hole or two. Our confidence levels rise and fall dramatically when playing poorly. When playing good golf, our confidence levels maintain but are challenged with each lie of the ball and every stroke. When playing we must accept every challenge and perform whole heartedly, commit 100% to the decision made. My question is why does the confidence level drop so much when begin playing poorly? This question requires an extensive amount of time gathering and analyzing data to establish, at best, an educated guess to mastering the psyche of golf.
However! I am presenting to you a recipe for recognizing and learning how your golf psyche may work. Learning to manage you confidence levels during a round of golf or even for one shot at a time will allow you to play the game while enjoying your game. In turn you will be experiencing the true essence of the “Game of Golf”.
Stay tuned.
GOLF FOR LIFE!
