Psychological Skills
Golfers use psychological skills every day, sometimes without even realising. Skills like pre-shot routines, imagery (visualising your shot before you take it), and self-talk (“I can do this”) help players stay composed and consistent.
Quick Task:
Next time you’re on the range or course, try noticing your pre-shot routine (e.g., deep breath, visualise the shot, one practice swing), what do you do? How do you do it? Notice how it affects your confidence and rhythm.
Reflective Questions:
When you miss a shot, what do you normally say to yourself? How could you reframe that in a more positive way?
Which do you think affects your golf more, nerves before a round or focus during the round? Why?
