Dear Golfer,
Dear Golfer,

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to become

pessimistic while golfing?

Apparently, pessimism is typical for human beings.

When faced with obstacles, most people become passive

and tend to give upit's been proven in psychological

experiments for over 25 years.1

How about you?

How do you react when bad things happen on the golf course?

Remember that pessimism and negativity are not the

same thing.

You can be an upbeat, cheerful person, yet be vulnerable

to pessimism.

Pessimistic means that when you suffer a setback, you

assume it is going to continue.2

Example: You are golfing and suddenly you miss three

shots in a row.

Most golfers, when faced with this situation, become pessimistic.

On an unconscious level, they start to believe that the slump

is permanent, at least for the rest of that game.

Pessimism is deadly on the golf course because it

destroys your desire to LEARN.

Most of the time when we fail in golf, it's not bad luck.

We are merely ignorant of how to succeed, and we need to

learn a new approach.

Example: If you're missing your putts, chances are you need

a new approach to putting. Perhaps you need to new method of

assessing the putt, a swing adjustment, or a new pre-swing routine.

If you're optimistic, you'll quickly start looking for ways to

improve your putting.

As your putting improves, you'll naturally

become more hopefuland hope is the stuff of champions.

My sister, Cara, one of the best ringette players who ever lived,

was excellent at creating hope under dire circumstances.
