The Psychology of Golf

I have my own brand of psychology regarding the game of golf. Here are a few tidbits.

End on a Strong Note. Your end-of-round performance can make you or break you. Learn how to keep from fizzling out.

You Have to Let Go. Free your mind and your soul. Let what’s inside you flow. Get down off your high horse. And find the force that provides the voice for your power to be felt, not the bull**** to be smelt. Read more.

Take a Competitive Mental Approach. When you’re playing golf, you need to have the mindset that you’re going to beat the players in your group as badly as you possibly can. After all, if you don't beat the players in your group, you have no chance of winning.  Read more.

Do You Have a Pre-Shot Routine? Ever wonder why you keep making the same mistakes? A lot of players could bring more consistency to their game by developing a real routine and sticking with it throughout a round. Read more.

From the Range to the Course. I’ve seen players who hit the ball relatively well on the driving range and then once on the course, they can’t break an egg with a hammer. What's happening? Read more.

Visualization.
The next time you’re on the golf course, think about a golf hole you’ve played consistently well and see it with your mind’s eye. Read more.

Trust.
Many players have a hard time adjusting to change because they don’t give new information time enough to be transferred to their long-term memory. Read more.

Focus. When hitting golf shots, you must keep your focus on the task at hand, which is to make a good, solid golf swing that sends your ball toward the target. Read more.

Taking Command. If you fail to take control of your surroundings, the mistakes you make are your own. Read more.

Miss One Way. In the game of golf, players must learn in what direction they want their ball to travel if they hit a less-than-perfect shot. Read more.

Image Matters. I've noticed that my attire often gives a smooth flow to my round of golf. Read more.

Names Don't Win Tournaments. Don’t let the name of a good player defeat you before you start a round. I’ve heard many people concede a match even before it begins. Read more.
