Golf - a mental
game, that is!
|
 |
Yoda said that or would
have if he was a golfer and not a Jedi
master. Golf freaks your brain out - if
you're hitting it like Tiger one day
you'll be hacking it round like a loon
the next day as sure as eggs is eggs.
There's no rhyme or reason to it -
somedays the force will be with you and
the next you'll be turned to the dark
side. Here's a few ideas however that
might aid the high handicapper over the
single-figure player ...
Don't play par
golf - you've got a handicap of
18 therefore you can bogey every
single hole and still return a
nett score of par. There's no
point in trying to bludgeon every
shot to try and hit greens in
regulation. Your handicap means
you can afford to maneouvre the
ball around with reasonable shots
and then pitch to the green, two
putt and take bogey. The low
handicappers of this world don't
have the same luxury as we lucky
guys do - they need pars and
birdies all the way round
Think
positive from the start, don't go
to the first tee thinking about
any bad shots you hit in your
previous round.
Don't
ever give up. Even if you're
three off the tee there's still a
possibility of making a good
score so keep your chin up,
there's a good un.
