When Pressure Takes the Fun Out of Your Golf

The Golfers Mental Edge Reviewed

Not playing what you think is your “A” game can suck the fun right out of golf…

As a golf game lover you want to play well… very much so. This can lead to tightening up and actually playing this game much worse!

You see this pattern all the time….

You work your tail off, expect a lot from yourself on the course, and then want to win (heck, just score good) really bad. Sounds good so far, right?

But here’s the problem. All this wanting to play well and high expectations can cause your mental game to unravel even before you hit your first tee shot!

After my personal chat with Dr. Patrick Cohn recently of Peak Sports, I learned that I wanting so badly to play well… I further realized that this also causes me (and no doubt, yourself) to play with fear… the fear of failure… Damn, I hate that!

What is the Worst “Lie” in Golf?

Let us begin with a few myth busters…

Myths -

1) If you have a perfect golf swing you’ll have a perfect game.
2) You can buy a better game with the latest in gadgetry.
3) Technology has lowered golfers scores.

As most of my subscribers and customers know, I don’t just recommend Golf products to line my pockets. It’s very important to me that I provide you with objective reviews so that you can truly make the best decision for improving your golf game.

As you know, I’m always interested in taking a look at sites that deal with mental golf.

Tip: #1 way to deal with nerves in golf

If you’ve golfed competitively you’ve no doubt felt nerves affect your game. When I say competitively I don’t just mean competing on a professional or mini-tour. If you have a $5 bet with a colleague or friend it’s still competitive! Whether you’re a 27 handicap or scratch you are likely to feel at least some nerves during your round.

For many people it doesn’t even have to involve competition at all. Just stepping to the first tee can cause a serious case of nerves. Maybe it’s when you must make a put to tie a hole or to win on the 18th green. If you’re standing on the 17th hole in a match and you’re 1 down then you have to deliver. Period. If you can’t channel your nerves you had better hope that swing you’ve been grooving for the past 6 months holds up now!

Tip: Free Do-Over

In review of the Mental Keys system, here is a brilliant technique that Michael picked up from one of his newsletter subscribers and why it works. I’ll let you hear it directly from him…

“I was addressing my ball on the back nine this weekend and a group on the hole next to us started their cart and were yelling to each other just as I started my takeaway. I stopped and watched as they continued to behave like they were at a circus with no regard for anyone else and I felt myself becoming angry. As I stepped up to address my ball again, I noticed that I was still thinking about that other foursome instead of the task at hand. more…
