Ian. | Assuming you have the skills to lack, golf psychology is really important – I would say better than 50%. To that end, I have been trying to put less pressure on myself and enjoy the game more. The quiet approach works best for me this way I don’t build myself up – to myself – to a level that I find hard to maintain. The last round out – I had the best ball striking ever – I wish I could pinpoint why, but I can’t. It just comes with the territory. Other approaches to controlling stress in your life might have some bearing on golf. A positive, proactive and energetic attitude is desirable. If you are too passive, that trait will find its way into your golf game. If I have a bad thought before I am going to swing – I regroup – usually the thought is I am off balance – and I am right. It would good to read any other tips or tricks that people use to keep their “mental” game under control. james  |
