I guess my key was that I picked my attitude before I even started. I gave my brain a simple, holistic goal that was not focused on physical action. It paid off. |
Hi Neil,
First, well done on what sounded like a good enjoyable round.
Also, you may have just mentioned something there that will help me as I go forward in my golfing journey. I often am unable to quickly move on from a poor shot. I need to find a way I can just accept the odd poor shot I might hit and move on as if it never happened. I seem to really struggle with this aspect of the game.
In the past I have avoided this by chatting with my playing partners about anything BUT golf with some success. But, now at a new club with mostly unfamiliar playing partners I find that the chat during a round is still somewhat forced.
Seems I need to find a way to say right I've done that, now let's move forward and deal with the result and play the next shot with no regard for how the ball came to lie where it is......
Cheers
