You wonder if you will ever make another putt. Then it dawns on you. You realize that you are missing short putts because you were thinking about missing before you even hit your putt. This is one example of common errors golfers make with their mental approach to golf.
Golf is a mental game, especially at the higher levels.
The problem is that golfers are not educated about the mental game mostly because their instructors or coaches didn't stress the importance of focus, confidence or trust when their students were learning to play. Your mind and body are linked to produce peak performance. Your decisions, thoughts, images and feelings set up each swing. Sport psychology helps players develop mental skills as they learn the mechanics of the game. Sport psychology is for everyone, not just the elite.
