You may that golfer who when you're practicing you hit some great shots and when you're out playing with your buddies or out playing in a casual game you really can do it, but then as soon as you get in the competition or you've got a card in your hand in really starts to break down. That's where your mental ability really is key and it's not that difficult you know if you ask yourself certain questions the quality of the questions you ask are really good. They determine the answers and whether you produce the good shots. A good pal of mine and psychologist Karl Morris European Tour psychologist look him up a lot of great tips, but one of his best ones is when you arrive at your golf ball you need to ask you self a very simple question “What would have a good shot look like from here?” You know it's so easy to get into that scenario you arrive at the ball you think oh don't do what you did yesterday, don't get in the water, don't get in the trees, don't do this don't do that.
They're not really encouraging positive outcomes really really simple “What would a good shot look like?” When you do that and ask yourself a question comes up with vivid picture in your brain what that good shot looks like. So if I'm using a wedge well what a good shot look like here and then I lost it up over that bunker that's given my brain a very concise program to copy and I'm going to play that stroke that applies to every club in the bag there. With the on the tee with my driver what would a good shot right here so I'm not thinking well it's going in the water or out of bounds I'm thinking I'm going to hit it down the left side of that fairway with a little bit of fade that's what a good shot would look like. Right I know what I'm going to do give them up the brain some very clear and explicit instructions what would a good shot look like it's going to look like this. Nailed that right on target so ask yourself Karl's simple question “What would a good shot look like here?”
