hi
if I'm playing an important match and i feel I'm getting excited i start saying things over and over as i take my practice swing and set up to my real swing. if using a drive i say over and over "rhythm- rhythm!!!" i say it as i breath in every time, if taking a pitch or chip i say "soft-hands" over and over, when putting i say "pace and line" over and over as i breath in and out, i find that if focuses the mind and its as if you can only think of one thing at a time, helps you relax too. i also try and see the shot in my mind before i set up to the ball, if i cant see it then i walk away and keep saying one of my thoughts till i feel relaxed and i can imagine the shot i want to hit, i also find i tend to speed up when playing really well and have to think about slowing my walk down to stop me getting excited and tense.
it does work.
