Golfers often find that there's two real key elements to the way they play. One is there how to game and that's considered be out a game to be the way you actually swing the club so the physical stuff that we can see. we can put it on camera we can watch your game we can see the techniques that you're using in your swing and we would consider that the out a game and that's often what we focus on. First we read the magazines we watch the articles on the T.V. we see this stuff when you cheat and we say OK that's my out a game my swing is looking pretty good and then some golfers go on the golf course and struggle with frustrations. Maybe because they're they're out a game the outside looking skills don't necessarily perform quite as they want and that can have a problem with the in a game so be in a game is going to be everything that we can't see so the mental side of things the frustrations the pressure the anxiety that a golfer sees.
We're going to class that as the inner game and unless we have both elements of the inner and the out a game working well together a golfer can often find that the frustrations and anxiety of playing golf can actually get a lot worse because you might go to the driving range in practice and you hit the ball pretty good you know you've checked your swing on camera you've looked in the mirror you've had some lessons you feel like you swing it nicely you hit the ball on the range pretty good. You're excited for the weekend you go out there you make one bad swing off the first tee and suddenly the in a game just cut lapses in on itself the pressure that you feel the anxiety and the danger is that then that starts to affect the how to game to get to the next tee and you think right don't screw up like you did on the first hole. Don't do what you did on the first hole don't do this and because your mind is not clear you then struggle to actually perform the skill that you've been practicing quite well so the in the game can have a knock on effect and actually damage the out again. So when you're on the golf course we've got to look after that in a game we've got to make sure that after each shot we can think about what went right we can think of what went wrong but actually clearing the mind reducing the frustration and approaching the next shot with a calm in a game to allow the out a game to perform is key to really playing some of your bass golf.
