the words "in the zone" mentally and golf have become buzz words in golf circles because of the huge success of Tiger Woods. Few golfers realize the hidden potentials of these words have to play better golf. If you are serious about lowering your scores, then you need to evaluate your mental game plan, and swing.
Your success or failure in golf is largely due to control his thoughts. I find it amazing how easy it is golfers can talk out of play and be distracted by outside influences. Many, of course, have preshot routine to properly prepare for the shot being played. The reason for the routine is to eliminate outside distractions that can interfere with your mind before you play a shot.
lets face it, never in any other sport we can experience the ups and downs as in golf, and this may be not necessarily from each circuit, but also from one hole to another. How to deal with the emotional ups and downs is what counts most. One great way to stay focused is to stay in the present and forget about the past and what's coming in the near future. In golf we play one shot at the same time and put all our energies to the present moment. It is the only way to stay focused when it counts most.
will surprise you that most of us experienced the "zone" on and off the course. Just remember the time you dreamed of the day or you played a beautiful shot. This is what I like. You were relaxed and concentrated state and does not reflect the full range of thoughts and ideas. If you can develop the current mind set and apply it more often you'll be on his way to scoring significantly lower scores consistently.
You May be thinking that this is all wrong for good golfers to follow, but what about the high handicappers. Of course a May fight with their game more than others, but employ positive thinking can overcome the weaknesses in the game. It is the intensity of concentration that separates the professional from the amateur.
the best place to start is to determine where your weaknesses in the game and improve on them. This may be the tee, fairway, around the greens, or green.
If you're not sure where your weaknesses, evaluate each round you play counting how many fairways you hit, how many putts per round you have, how many chips and putts you have one. weak areas will immediately surface. Count the number of double and triple Bogeys have in the circle. They are the real wreckers score for any level of player. Reducing these numbers will drastically drop your score. If you are a beginner then you probably have around 50 putts for 18 holes. Work on improving goal setting to have only 45 years, then 40 and so on.
Consistent monitoring of your rounds played will give you instant feedback on your strengths and weaknesses. You can still play good golf, even with its faults, if you have some mental strategies in place. Here are some strategies that can help you.
