| Re: Banishing Tension Hi there,

A truly great read and very refreshing for your on course thoughts, I know it's really difficult when tention builds and also the pressure of a good score.
I only have my own opinion and my own experience to draw on, however some general things will help: Past experience: ever played a round lost it or blew up on a hole early on with temper etc then come of with a better score than you thought..................What you may not realise is that the game consists of 18 holes and you need to play 18 before judging your performance, hitting the first few shots and deciding that todays not your day is fatal.
Pre-Shot routine Many thing have been said about the same routine, again this is a must when playing under pressure, remember your best ever round, what happened different than any other, maybe a few more putts went in, but you may find that you had the same concentration level for the whole round. Playing well Last and most important thought is you have pressure on the last few holes only because you are playing well, not because you are rubbish.
Ian.
