Unique Mental Challenge of Golf

One reason golf is mentally challenging is because you have so little contact with the ball.
You only make contact with the ball for fractions of a second over a 4-5 hour time frame.
This lack of contact makes it easier for you to lose your concentration.

There is more.

Four or five hours is a long time to maintain concentration on anything. Cardiovascular surgeons have the same concentration challenge as golfers. Coronary bypass (heart) surgery lasts an average of 5 hours, and it's typical for these surgeons to do 3 of these a day. That means they are doing 10-15 hours of operating a day. These surgeons know that they can't maintain total intensity and concentration on everything they do during that time.

Their solution is to teach themselves how to manage the ebb and flow of the operation. During the mundane parts of the operation, they get into a lighter concentration flow.
But once the patient's heart is stopped, they need to get the operation done in less than an hour. During that time, they have absolute, total focus. They submerge the mind so that everything around them is blacked out.*

In golf, you too must master the ebb and flow of the game. Having too much focus for too long a time can actually tighten your muscles and hamper your swing.
So, your job is to learn how to build your concentration before each shot and 'turn it off' between shots.

Mental Toughness Exercise
One technique you can use to sharpen your concentration is to visualize your shot before you hit it.

I suggest you do this as you're walking up to the ball.

Like Tiger, stare at your target and form a visual picture of the shot in your mind. See the ball flying on a specific line towards its final target. If you work at this, soon you will be able to maintain your focus of attention on the hole the way the pros do.

If you are thinking to yourself "I really, really need to get the mental part of my game handled"...

Then YOU'RE RIGHT.

You certainly do need to get it handled.

You need to learn how to become mentally tough on the golf course RIGHT NOW.

Accept Your Anxiety

The 12-foot putt on the 72nd hole of the Senior Players Championship gave Bobby Wadkins his first major title... and a sense of relief.

Wadkins needed to sink the putt to win the tournament.

54-year old Wadkins had made five straight birdies on the back nine to take the lead, but a horrendous bunker shot meant he had to sink the putt to win the tournament.

Wadkins was feeling the pressure.

After all, it was only a month ago that Phil Mickelson's double bogey on the 18th hole cost him a chance to win the 2006 U.S. Open.

"Anyone who says they aren't feeling the pressure at that stage of the game is telling a lie," said Wadkins, who shot a 4-under 68 and was 14 under for the tournament. "The tournament
should have been over and I was giving it away."

Wadkins has just admitted what every good golfer knows:

No matter how much mental toughness training you do, golf has pressure moments.

The key to managing these moments is making friends with them instead of dreading them.

The easiest way to make friends with pressure is to accept your anxiety.

You say, "It's quite natural to feel a bit of performance anxiety right now.

Of course I'm a little stressed.'

Then, you turn your focus toward the shot. The next shot is the focus, not your anxiety.

By making friends with pressure, and refusing to fight it, you disarm it and bring yourself back to the game.

If you are thinking to yourself "I really, really need to get the
mental part of my game handled"...

Then YOU'RE RIGHT.

You certainly do need to get it handled.

You need to learn how to become mentally tough on the golf course RIGHT NOW.
