Golfing is Mind Over Matter
The idea of "mind over matter" is as old as dirt and certainly applies to golf. As in any effort, good mental preparation is key to playing well, and it is an easy thing to do. It is a well known fact that entering any task with lingering doubt is almost guaranteed to produce undesirable results. So, it is important to convince yourself early that you can play good golf. We are not all created with equal physical skills but that is not the most important factor in our game. You have seen many pros who played well and won tournaments with skills that were far from perfect. They were able to do it because they believed in themselves and whatever talent they had. Let us assume that you have armed...
