Why You Need To Control Your Emotions On The Golf Course (Video) - by Peter Finch

It’s something that every golfer has been guilty of at one time or another, losing their temper on the golf course. It’s something that can manifest, that can grow and can cause some real problems within people’s golf games, and it is something which you need to learn to control. When you get into a very, very bad mood on the golf course, it does affect your playing partners for start, so you’re not going to be very popular very soon, but it’s also going to affect your scores.

Controlling your emotions on the golf course is very, very important to help improve the overall outcome of what you shoot. The reasons for this is, if you have a clouded mind and you let your emotions over take what you’re trying to do technically, it can really hamper your ability to hit the shots that you want. The most obvious way that it does this, is it clouds your judgement. If you hit a bad drive and it goes into the trees, if you cannot put that shot behind you, if it is emotionally compromising you within your golf game, you could get up to that shot and you could be determined and angry and desperate to try and improve your situation and it could force you to take on shots that you simply would not ordinarily do. If you can clear your emotions after every shot, if you can go through a very, very solid pre-shot routine you can approach every shot the same, with the same amount of pragmatism and not being overruled by your emotions. There are many people, and I’m sure everyone watching this can relate, to when they’ve hit a bad shot, they’ll still thinking about it on the next shot and even three shots down the line and it is very, very rare that that will help improve scores. So the first video about this is learning to control your emotions and putting the bad shots behind you. And it is very simple as that, sticking to a pre-shot routine, nailing it down every time, and trying to forget about your previous shot before you reach your next one. That is the very first stage of trying to control your emotions and control your temper on the course. 2016-08-31
