Golf Fix

Several times I heard this phrase as counsel to avoid pressure on the course. This is one of the worst advice to give!

1. Do not take your brain for a trumpet!

What is the goal of the game of golf? Make as few strokes as possible. Therefore, the objective is connected to the score. Your mind knows it consciously or subconsciously, you think! Your mind is there to give you directions, so if the score is an important goal, he will direct your thoughts to it.

2. Take care of the case and not the consequences!

We know the consequences of too much thinking to the score: pressure, stress, loss of confidence.
But what are the causes? Have you ever asked? I’m sure you will, and I am also certain that you have the answer!

3. Formulate your goals positively!

“Do not think about the score! ”
“Ok, fine, but I think what then? ”
Stop setting goals avoidance!
Objectives with “not”, are objectives of avoidance!
A goal is made to be reached rather avoid!
Ask yourself what you want rather than what you do not!

So concretely, how?

Take a pencil and paper and note the points most important to you in golf.
Ex: The score, walking in nature, competition with oneself, the feeling of swing, play with friends …

Now close your eyes and visualize yourself on the course with a focus on each point one after the other. Take time to see you as if you were in your body to feel sensations. Play a few balls and then change your attention to another point that you previously defined.
In viewing what you feel most comfortable with?
How important this match?
You can also try directly on the course!
Now, for the next competition, focus your attention on this important point in all the course.

Conclusion
If the score bothers you, make a habit of giving another direction to your thoughts. Direct them to a point that is important for you and concentrate on it!
