How To Develop The Mental Game Of Golf

By Anita Ortega


All sports are a combination of mental and physical exertion. Some sports, such as golf, purportedly is supposed to be more of a mental sport than a physical one. Golf has been accepted by most players as a game that comprises a great deal of mind effort. Thus many say that if you have a great mental game of golf, the better your overall round outcome will be.

Many experienced golfer will say that a player is defined by the way he composes his mind game rather than by his swing. An example can be had after viewing many a round of golf with differing players. Some players have great swings but very poor composure, going into expletives and tantrums when something goes wrong. Some are very composed and calm whatever their round outcome. And more often than not, it is the latter player that beats the former in a majority of situations.

The sport of golf is most often described and attributed to in terms of the physical properties rather than the much touted mental aspect. This is so because one can easily see the physical aspects of this sport. One can easily see the swing, the backswing, the grip and stance for example and so these are the ones most commented on and analyzed more often than not.

The importance of having a good mind and attitude towards the sport can never be overstated enough. Though plenty still do not see much importance in it, developing it can do wonders for when developed and strengthened. Those people who have developed it properly see much improved handicaps, stroke reductions and overall satisfaction on a per round level.

People who want to improve their round outcomes should start accepting what they are and what they are not. They should learn to accept the fact that they are not always a great player like the sports greats and that they too have limitations. They should adjust their minds to the fact that they have limitations, and in this way they enjoy the sport more by not expecting too much from something they may have too little of. Different people are gifted in different ways after all.

Learn to visualize the shots before you play them. This is a great process by which others also call visioning. See the shot in your mind and imagine everything about it. Include all the little details like how far, how high and even how you feel when you have hit it. Once you have visualized the shot go ahead and take it. You will be surprised that more often than not, your actual play approximates the one in your head more often than not.

You cannot have a good mind game in this sport if you are stressed and exhausted. Make sure that neither of these conditions exist by getting plenty of rest and relaxation on the day before. Avoiding liquor is also a wise decision to make prior to any game.

And most importantly enjoy it. It is just a game after all so do not dwell on mistakes or failures during the rounds. Just take a deep breath, smile, enjoy the moment and swing on. Having this positive attitude will do wonders in developing your abilities than all of those physical tips you find.
