You may have top quality golf equipment and the most expensive coach, but it’s not going to help you too much if you do not have the right mindset. There are lots of famous quotes about the game of golf that is 90% played in the mind. Your mind is the most dynamic tool you own, use it in the right way and you can achieve practically anything.
You need to realise that if you do not have the correct mental attitude you will not be successful. We all have days when our golf game is great and then suddenly our game can be a complete disaster. So why is golf such a mental game?
Our mind is such a complicated piece of apparatus, we have only two ways of thinking:
- We get Inspiration and act on it
- We use the memories that continually replay in our mind of a time when we were in a similar situation. This goes a long way to explaining why you can sometimes hit the same bad shot on a particular hole.
