On the Course

Just Play Golf!

By the time you start, your pre-match practice and mental preparation should have you playing like a well-oiled machine.

You are there to enjoy your day, but ensure that your game is the most important thing in your life for the duration of play. There will be plenty of time after the event to ponder over other issues in your life.

Remember to use:

• Your pre-shot Routines and Centering techniques when approaching a shot

• Relaxation and affirmation techniques as you walk between shots

As you might observe, the work load whilst playing has reduced to a couple of uncomplicated tasks. This is how it should be. Keep everything simple.

If you are well practised, complexities of the Mind Game and technique will become subconscious routines and your game will flow – leaving the full capacity of your conscious mind to deal with other requirements of the game.

Don’t forget to use the question “What do I need to know”. This very powerful yet simple question just about says it all at any given moment of your day.
