Golf can be a frustrating game, if we let it. If every time you hit a poor shot you react with anger and frustration, it will be very difficult to bounce back and be ready for the next shot. When we experience frustration, it affects our tension level, decision-making and enjoyment of the game. No one hits good shots with Scotty Cameron Del Mar all the time, but your reaction to your poor shots will determine your mind-set for the next shot.
The best players use a post-shot routine to learn from a shot instead of constantly being critical of their performance. Being able to learn from the shot and move on is a mental game skill you should develop. Ask yourself, "Why did that ball go there? Was it a mental error or physical error?" Then make a practice swing and put the club back into the bag and move on to the next shot, leaving the last shot behind. If you can manage your emotions, you'll begin to bounce back quicker and enjoy the game more.
Okay, you may not be able to play like Tiger, but knowing your strengths and limitations can help you shoot lower scores. So many golfers play shots based on their ego and not on reality. These poor decisions lead to blowup holes and further frustration. When you play to your normal patterns, you'll be more comfortable and relaxed, which leads to better performance. Play to your strengths. Know your average distances you hit Cheap Scotty Cameron putter.
Play your normal shot pattern—if you normally hit a 20-yard fade off the tee, play it, don't fight it! A good rule of thumb is that if you can't hit a certain shot at least 70% successfully, then play that shot no matter how the hole is shaped. When you're comfortable with your decision-making, it will result in a relaxed, confident swing. Make the best decisions based on your game and you'll shoot lower scores.
