| COURSE MANAGEMENT 1. Always set to a specific target – go through your routine and visualize. 2. Choose the shot you want and execute to the best of your ability. 3. Play each shot one at a time to the best of your ability. 4. If you miss hit your shot, forgive and forget, the play the next shot to the best of you ability. Don’t allow yourself to think irrationally. MENTAL TOUGHNESS. 5. Continue this procedure through 18 holes. 6. Post the score. 7. After the round, give yourself credit for playing to the best of your ability, analyze your mistakes, correct them in your mind, and the round is finished. 8. Play the golf course; do not compare yourself to anyone. 9. Repeat the procedure and post a new score, letting yourself get closer to the edge of your ability. 10. Do not swing play – practice your mechanics on the range, not on the course. “Golf is a game of miss hits, it’s how you handle your miss hits.” (Ben Hogan) |
