ive found the articles on the psychological side of golf on this site interesting. i only took this great game up just over a year ago and im really starting to see some real improvement but with no real consistency which i think may be down to confidence. i struggle to stay focused for a whole round and im gutted if i have a few poor holes in a row which leads to round falling apart. also im fighting against myself as its not in my nature to slow down i walk and talk fast so tend to rush pre shot routine and set up.

any ideas on how i remedy these problems
thanks in advance
ian
