Emotions on the Golf Course part 1
How do you react when you miss a short putt, or three putt from twelve feet. Do you get angry at yourself? What happens after you miss hit on the fairway, a simple 60 foot chip shot, and you leave the golf ball 20 feet short. Do you beat the ground with those new Nike golf clubs and then step up and chip again only to scald the ball off the back side of the green. And then double boogie the next two holes because you can not clear your head of the bad golf shots you just made.
How you react to bad shots influences your next shots, you have to forget the bad ones until practice time, now it is time to get in control. If you react cool after a bad hit on the golf ball it will certainly help you to hit the next shot with composure and not turn this into a triple boogie. To control your performance you have to be in control of your thoughts and emotions. How you react to the bad miscues everyone makes can make the difference between a quick recovery and the wheels falling off. Controlling emotions is part of learning how to play golf for fun and enjoyment.
