 The Mental Game...Play To Your Strengths!
Author: Bob Power
This is how I use to play, see if you recognize it.
On my way to the course, in the back of my mind I was going to have my best round ever. Getting to the course I would sign in and go to the first tee with little or no warm up. I would swing the club a few times, tee up the ball and with butterflies or shaky knees boom, I would shank it in the woods, or slice it bad, or top it about 100 yards. Frustrated I would go find my ball,
normally in a bad lie or have to lift it out of the woods if I could find it. Then looking at the green about 250 yards in the distance I would get out the old 3 wood and give it my best (worst) swing. Again I would shank it, top it, slice it or some other terrible shot. By the time I was finished the first hole I was looking at an eight or worse, and thus started another frustrating bad round. I did this over and over again for over two years.
One of the first things I figured out from listening to the pros and experts was that golf was a mind set, and in order to play good golf to have to play smart. That means playing within your strengths. This is part of "good course management". That's right, course management is not just making good shots, it's also playing to the course design and playing to your strengths as well.
Let me give you an example of how I use my strengths now to lower my score. The other day I was playing our number 5 hole, one of the hardest par fours I have played. Not in length, but in design. It's a dog leg left and you
need a really good tee shot over trees to the fairway beyond to have any chance of reaching the green in two. That's the way most people would approach it. And if the tee shot is not good most people are thinking
bogey. But why?
I hit my tee shot a little right of the trees and landed in the fairway about 220 yards from the green. What would you do? Get out the 3 wood and try for the green? That's what I would have done, even last year. That shot for me, because I rarely play it or practice it, is a very high risk shot. Hitting that shot increases my chance from
bogey to double bogey tenfold. I am not mentally prepared to hit that shot with confidence. But I was thinking par all the way though.
My strength in the fairway is PW, 9 Iron, 8 Iron, 7 Iron, 6 Iron, 5 Iron, in that order. Thus the further I am away from the green, the less confidence I have in the shot I am making. (This thought process is an on going learning curve that takes practice and a lot of playing to increase your confidence in making those types of shots) Thinking about the distance I had left, 220 yards I was thinking of getting my ball to PW distance. Since I hit my PW about 130 with confidence I
laid up to approximately that distance on my second shot. A short shot for my second, but it got me to my
comfort zone. I then hit my PW for my third shot and landed the ball on the green pin high about 6 ft from the pin. I now had a chance at par, something I am sure I would not have had if I had used the 3 wood to try to get me on the green on my second shot.
Yes, I only had one shot at par with one putt but my putting is fairly
consistent, since I can practice putting just about anywhere, and I feel confident about my putting. (Hint, practice your putting)
I missed the putt by an inch and bogied, but I felt good about the way I played the hole, and next
time I might par it. Not to mention that a bogey is better than the double or triple I probably would have had with a second higher risk shot to the green.
Remember the goal is not to be on the green in regulation, but rather to finish the hole in the regulation number of shots. No one cares or will ask you how many greens in regulation you had, but when you tell them your great score they will be impressed.
Sure being on the green in regulation helps since you then have 2 putts instead of one to par, But if you are now playing double
bogey or triple bogey golf, imagine what eliminating one shot per hole is going to do to your score.
Play with the clubs you have confidence in. Keep the ball in play for better scores.

Top
100 Courses! |

 A
few months ago we asked our readers to vote for their
favorite golf courses. The prime criteria being that any
course nominated must be accessible to the public. Meaning,
no private facilities could be nominated.
Our readers responded and the
votes have been tabulated. And there are quite a few
surprises. Some facilities that we expected to be at or near
the top were either further down the list, or were not able
to garner enough votes to even be in the top five in their
respective state.
So how well did the best
public access courses in your state rank nationally? Which
are the top five courses in your state? Read

Scams!!! |

We
urge all visitors to read the following article. Golf scams
are rampant and although we posted this article several
months ago we continue to receive calls from golfers that
have been ripped-off!
Shame on Them!
Credit card scam artists have been targeting
golfers in a big way the last few years. Obviously playing
off a golfers biggest weakness to try something or anything
that would improve his or her game. The scam usually
involves a phone call offering the golfer the opportunity to
test new equipment for no charge. In reality, they are
charged excessive security deposits for inferior
product. Read

Unprepared!
After hitting his tee shot deep into the
woods, the golfer turned to his caddie.
"Did you see where that one went?" he asked.
"No sir, as a matter of fact I didn't," replied the caddie.
"Well, why didn't you watch where it went?" snapped the angry
man.
"Frankly, sir," said the caddie, "I was quite unprepared
for it to go anywhere."
