The psychology of Golf

Golf psychology is important and how you mentally approach each shot is vital if you want to improve. Although training aids can be tremendously helpful in working out the kinks in your game, the importance of good equipment can't be underestimated. It not only gets your mind ready to hit the next shot, but after time it will set in motion a series of events that can be ingrained into your muscle memory, increasing the likelihood of hitting the shot you want and thereby increasing your consistency (and lowering your golf scores).

It's is a good idea to reflect when you are likely to miss shots you should be making. On reflection you might notice how water hazards, bunkers and trees always make you nervous, how often you miss that crucial putt when under pressure. Arriving late at the course and having to rush to Tee off with people around might make you feel tense and the resulting shot is not up to your usual standard.

Hybrid clubs - playing from the rough is where these clubs really come into their own as the sheer mass behind the club help to drive through the grass without twisting, some even have a rudder on the sole which further helps to get the clubface square so you can hit straight almost all the time. A further use for the hybrid golf club is shots from just off the green where you need just a little loft to get over the fringe or where you are against the fringe and need the club to get to the back of the ball.

Something as simple as changing your ball can go a long way in improving your handicap. 'But how do I select the correct ball,' you ask? Let's take a minute and review a thing or two about golf ball compression. Compression is determined by how tightly the golf ball is wound. The softer the ball, the greater the distance, the greater the loss of control.

There are three industry standard settings of compression. They vary in hardness, distance, and control. I think learning to play golf is just like learning a language or learning to play the piano, painful at the beginning but rewards will come later. Golf is 20 percent mechanics and technique.

Golf is not just exercise; it is an adventure, a romance a Shakespeare play in which disaster and comedy are intertwined and you have to live with the consequences. Golf is good exercise whatever your age - some say that golf spoils a good walk - but if you persevere one day you might achieve something. You can't beat spending time replacing divots and looking for lost balls.
