Picture it. You’ve got your round going and you’re on for the best score that you’ve ever had and you don’t want to throw it away at the end of the round because of a silly mistake. Having a bogey-bogey finish or a couple of doubles can really dampen your confidence and set a lingering thought in the back of your mind for the next round. A really important one is the fact that if you’re in a competition, you don’t want to throw it away!
Developing yourself as a golfer involves learning how to deal with nerves towards the end of a round and also having your golf game perform when you need it to, is essential to keeping your score low.
So let’s take a look at what you can focus on to stop your round falling apart!
- Think of your favourite golfer and how they perform right till the last putt rolls in, it gives you inspiration and helps you strive to win.
- Take your time over every shot and make sure you stick to it, rushing right at the end can force errors that you really don’t need!
- Think positive thoughts and clear your mind before you make the swing. Having all sorts in your mind will only lead to you having doubts.
- Think about your practice sessions and how you do it every single time you play the hole yourself. You know you can do it so make the swing!
