You have to continue playing. You have to find a way to peel yourself off the canvas and bounce back. Most golfers could use a little help with their recovery skills. They often follow a bad hole with an even worse one, then start wondering why they didn't stay home and mow the lawn. But the ability to bounce back from a bad hole is an admired quality at every level of the game.
Nobody likes a crybaby, and everyone envies a player who can shake it off and soldier on.
Even the PGA Tour has taken note. You may not have that many birdies in you, but there's no reason every golfer can't improve in this area. Whatever your skill level, the following tips should help you prevent one bad hole from turning into a disastrous day. When tennis players fault on their first serve, they hit a more conservative second serve to better their chances of getting the ball in. Grip down on the driver an inch, maybe even go to a fairway wood, and try to make a smooth, three-quarter swing that advances the ball down the middle with minimal risk.
