You can have the greatest golf swing, but not do very well because your mind isn’t in the right place. A golfer with a mediocre swing and a great mind game will do MUCH better than the one with the great swing but bad mind game.
In my opinion, and lots of others agree, golf is 10% physical and 90% mental.
To have a great mental game, you need to be positive, that is the key. A person who doesn’t have the greatest mind game usually is the one who gets mad after a poor shot, throws clubs, curses, etc.
A person with a great mind game will forget about the bad shots, learn from them, and continue on to the next shot with a great attitude.
More often then not you will hit your greatest shots when you are in a good state of mind, and you will hit poor shots more often then not when you have a poor attitude.
There’s a series of books writtien by Bob Rotella that are EXCELLENT for giving you an insight into the mental game of golf. His most famous is called ‘Golf Is Not A Game of Perfect’
Hope this helps
