One thing that many beginners fail to realize that your golf swing begins before you step up to the tee. If you have a good grip on the golf swing basics it will be even easier. When you are playing golf, where is your mind? Is it on the fight you had with your husband/wife this morning? Is it back at the last hole when you made a bad shot? Or is it on the game?
If your mind is anywhere other than the game and the shot you are about to take, you will have a hard time achieving the perfect shot. You have to be able to maintain your focus throughout the game in order to play at the best of your ability.
If the last ball sailed into the trees or a sand trap, its ok, get mad. Get mad and get it out of your system. Leave it behind before you step up to take your next shot. If your mind is still reeling from one bad shot, get ready because it's only going to get worse. You need to be able to block out all other thoughts and focus on your golf swing.
The better you become at focusing, the better your game will become. When you focus on other things it will be hard to focus on the ideal path for the ball to travel. It will be hard to get the correct power into your downswing. Don't let other thoughts cause you to make a bad shot.
