Golf is a game played on a large outdoor course with a series of nine or eighteen holes spaced far apart, the object being to propel a small, hard ball with the use of various clubs into each hole with as few strokes as possible. Golf is a competitive sport, and a very popular recreational activity played by people of a wide range of age and ability.
In order to win a golf tournament, you need the three Ps practice, patience, and perspective. Its true what they say that practice makes perfect. The more practice you have, the better your chances of winning are. If you really want to win, you should practice whenever you have free time and start preparing for the game months ahead of time. Ensure that you cover all areas of the game in your practice, including putting, chipping, driving, long irons, mid irons, and wedges. How to practice is really up to you. You can choose to simply visualize, work on the mechanics, or just try to get the feel down.
Perspective is also important. In order to win a golf tournament, you must believe that you can win and when things dont go your way, you need to keep believing. If you're in a tournament with a partner, you have to push and pull on each other. Always encourage your partner and never get angry at him for missing a shot. It is important to contribute to each other in a meaningful way and not to bring negative energy.
Lastly, never get discouraged. Instead, always be patient. In golf, anything can happen. If you miss a shot, figure out what went wrong and learn from it. The longer you dwell on a missed shot the harder the next shot will be. Besides, nobody ever said that you wont make mistakes along the way to victory.
