Mentally Challenged

I was trying to improve my game yesterday by asking the proffesionals over at iseekgolf.com to help me to keep my game consistant. They were very helpful, and by the end of the discussion it became evident that my problems were mental.

You see, I can never have a single good hole: if I have a great drive, then my putter stinks, but if I have a shocking drive, then I can sink it easily. Apparently the reason for this is that if I have a good drive I automatically think that I’ll putt badly.

Iseekgolfguru gave me some very interesting advice – advice I would like to share with you:

Set yourself some simple goals to practice towards. Like improve my putting, chipping, then pitching then longer strokes.

Results will show up evenutally on the score card but take heart in what progress you do make. There is nothing like feeling that you can move further up the power chain having really nailed the previous level.

It is all about practice. Perfecting the basics so that you can slowly but surely improve. Thanks for the tips!
