A Journey To Confidence

10:50 am June 1, 2009

What would you say is the most important aspect in becoming a
better player? How can you get complete fulfillment from the game?
What aspect of this sport is the key ingredient to having the most
fun?

Some people say that patience is the answer. Others point out that
practice & repetition is the key to success in golf. And it is.

Some players even think that having the right golf clubs is the
“magic potion.”

A. Great Answers…

All of the above definitely have their place. But, the most important
aspect to golf’s “mental game” (at least for this mini-report) is:

Confidence. A generally good feeling about the strength of your
abilities can be a priceless asset.

Confidence

Having confidence in yourself is important in golf & practically
everything else too. How you feel about yourself will carry over into
the quality of your game & elsewhere. Thousands of golfers have
lowered their scores & increased their relative happiness by just
reassessing how they view themselves.

B. Performance

Similarly, there is also “performance-oriented” confidence which is
based more upon the specific increases in your golf game itself.
If you have very little confidence in your abilities, then you will not
perform optimally. Practice your golfing skills diligently & you will
develop your performance confidence as a result.

C. True Confidence

Your confidence levels can be adjusted & worked on step-by-step.
Larger personal issues & improving your self image can take as little
as a week or as long as a lifetime…

Low self-esteem levels can be layers deep & uncovering them far
outweighs the scope of this mini report. However, in terms of
performance confidence, there are definitely some common ideas
which all of us can benefit from.

The most important thing to remember is that golf does not define
your life. The skills needed to be a scratch golfer develop gradually.

If you think you will only be happy when you become “better” at
playing golf, then happiness will elude you. You will chase this
vague goal for years….& how will you know when you get there?

True joy comes from having fun & accepting the fact that golf is a
lifelong journey, not a destination.

Let me repeat: Golf is a journey, not a destination. Write it down &
watch your happiness increase with your golf game.
