Golf Psychology Tips

Many people believe that up to 90% of golf is played in your head. Once you have learned the physical skills of golf fairly well, your performance becomes as much a mind game as anything else. Here are a few key tips to help train your mind to maximise your performance.

1. Stay in the present. Only focus on the shot in hand and not on what score it is for.

2. Find a pre-shot routine and stick to it. It will help when the pressure is on. If you deviate from this or have any doubts about the shot, back off and start again.

3. Visualise the shot you are about to play. It will give you more confidence when making the shot, which in turn will increase the likelihood of it happening.

4. Trust your swing - you have spent all that time practising, so let it happen.

5. Think positive! Don't think 'avoid the water'; think 'hit the green'.

 
Before You Start

1. Firstly warm up! Do some stretches of all your muscles in your legs, back, arms and shoulders. Hold two clubs together and slowly swing them as normal after this to warm things up further.

2. Start with a short iron and work up through the bag. The shorter club will enable you to ease yourself into hitting shots.

3. Aim at a target and use clubs laid on the ground in line with your feet to ensure that you are pointing in the right direction.

4. Spend as much time on chipping and putting as you do on the long game. It counts for around 50% of your score, so give it at least 50% of your practice time.

Full Shots 1. Aim at a target and try to get a specified number within a twenty-foot radius. Once you have done that, increase the target number or decrease the size of the circle.

2. Pretend you are playing a round of golf on your usual course and hit the clubs you would normally expect to hit at each hole in order.

3. Groove your pre-shot routine by going through it every time you hit a shot on the range and on the course. It will help your swing function under pressure.

4. Concentrate on what you are doing. 25 balls with full concentration is better then 50 hit without thinking.

5. Work out how far you can hit each club so you can take your practice to the course. Go to a flat practice ground on a calm day, hit 20 balls, pace out the distance, remove the best two and the worst two and work out the average distance. If this is not possible, play a course with a yardage chart and note how far you hit the ball with each club as you play.
 
 

Around The Green

 1. Aim at several targets and vary the length and type of short to increase you feel.

2. With chipping take 3 balls and chip at the same flag from a variety of different lies.

3. Throw 10 balls in a bunker and play them all as they lie.

4. With a partner, give each other lies around the green and in the bunker and see who gets it closer. You'll soon find out who your friends are!
