[print this page]
Dear Golf Nut,
Dear Golf Nut,
Ever wonder what the one big 'secret'
to mental toughness in golf is?
The one that really makes the difference...
It's surprisingly simple.

I learned it from a (very) rich professional gambler.
I'm talking about the kind of guy who lives in Las Vegas and
routinely bets $60,000 a hand in blackjack.
If missing a putt gets you down, imagine the kind of
resilience it takes to rebound from a $60,000 loss
especially when YOU invited it.
The secret?
Patience.
Successful gamblers make their money by out-waiting the casino.
If they lose a spin in roulette, they double their bet.
If they lose a second time, they increase their bet.
If they lose a third time, they bet even more.
They know that statistically, it's impossible to lose every spin.
Eventually, their numbers are going to hit.
So they waitand beat the odds.
Gamblers who posses this level of patience are the best
of the best.

Most DON'T succeed because they simply can't stomach
the inevitable defeats they must absorb in order to win
over the long term.
(Before you quit your day job and start hanging out at casinos,
I want you to know that I'm not advocating gambling.
I am merely pointing out that some people have become so
skilled at handling the fear of losing that they regularly
exploit the casino's weaknessesand win).
As The Gambler says,
"I am often surprised at how easily people get upset. They
get upset when they don't win. They get upset when they do
win, but they don't think it's enough.
They get upset if they don't hit the jackpot. When they hit
a secondary jackpot, they get upset that they didn't hit the
top jackpot.
And when they hit the top jackpot, unless it's
something in the millions, they get upset as to why they
couldn't hit it sooner."
Great golfers are a lot like great gamblers.
When the agony of golf hits, they are patient.
