How to play golf

Learn How to play golf like a Professional!

In a cruel ritual beginning each season, golfers resolve to play better golf. Most fall victim to information overload and short of their goals, which isn't necessary.

The natural inclination of the average golfer when thinking of ways to improve their game is to tinker with their golf swing. Though there is usually work to be done there, the swing may not be the first place to look. Two small changes, which can be implemented instantly, can result in lower scores and become part of a process that will lead to lifetime enjoyment of the game.

Prepare the Mind: The First Small Step, Great Leap

Make no mistake, being able to get in and stay in "the zone" takes time and practice, but it can be done. Just like in the development of a fundamentally sound golf swing, a good mental approach to golf takes much repetition. That doesn't mean golfers need to tough it out for years or months until they reach the Valhalla of golf psychology.

Leading golf mental performance expert, Dr. Morris Pickens, in his new book, Learn to Win: One Shot at a Time, offers great advice for golfers. The key to the first small step is found in the title of Pickens' book, "one shot at a time."

Most amateur golfers want to play better golf, but they get in their own way, not through swing limitations, but in their expectations and on-course thinking. According to Dr. Pickens, when the inevitable poor shot happens, allow a time for lamentation and complaining, but then let it go. Even professionals hit poor shots, but most of them are able to forget about them and move forward.

Amateurs shouldn't be any different. The same goes for hitting a great shot. Once it happens, allow some time to admire it and then move to the next shot.

Having realistic expectations and not letting bad shots ruin a round is a key to playing better golf.
