The Mental Game of Golf: Losing Your Cool Destroys Your GameIt was the 12th hole at Hawk’s Landing in Lake Buena Vista, FL. I had just received a new set of golf clubs for Christmas and I thought that a couple of the upgrades could help my game improve, boy was I wrong. I address the ball with my new 3 wood, I swing and chunk, sending mud, soil and grass spraying into the air! In a fit of rage I throw my new club like a javelin. As I watched it sail through the air in slow motion(with a bit of apprehension for throwing it in the first place)it strikes the golf cart, splitting in half. All I could think about was how pissed my wife was going to be and what kind of “white lie” I was going to tell her. The mental game of golf is probably the most difficult part of the game. Losing your cool can completely cause your game to unravel and for meltdowns like this to occur, making you look like a complete maniac.
Play Like the ProsPlay like the pros is something all golfers, young and old want to do. This article’s goal is to motivate all of you who play golf to give serious consideration to learning from the pros, up close and personal. How do you do this? By spending a day at a local golf tournament or a PGA tour event in your part of the world this year. Going to a golf tournament can be as helpful to your golf game as taking a summer’s worth of lessons from your local pro or watching a golf instruction video. When I was just learning the game of golf in the latter 1960s and through the 1970s I had the privilege of going to PGA tour events such as the Thunderbird (Upper Montclair Country Club), on three occasions, the U.S. Open (Baltustrol Country Club and Winged Foot Country Club), on two occasions, the PGA (Winged Foot and Baltustrol) and the Westchester Classic (Westchester Country Club) two or three times. I also went to a number of local golf tournaments in New Jersey and watched the pros from our state.
Father and Son GolfFather and son golf can be a life changing relationship that we strongly encourage and advocate. As a father you should encourage your son or sons or daughters to play golf at an early age. In so doing and if successful you and they will pay big dividends down the road. It is much better than watching them play video games. I believe that letting and encouraging your children to learn how to play golf and then to play golf with them as they get older is very positive for their physical, social, spiritual and familial reasons. I started playing golf when I was about 17 years old in 1965 because I could not make the high school baseball varsity in my junior year. I played with my dad on Saturday afternoons in the summer and later as I graduated from college and began to work, on weekday evenings and Saturday mornings in more competitive matches. I continued to play regularly with my dad for the next 40 plus years. I have never forgotten the two hole in ones I made while playing with him or the hole in one he made while I watched.
