Confidence

What can you be confident in as you step out onto the course?

Perfect strikes? Deadly accuracy? Effortless holing out? Perfect golfing conditions? Is your confidence on the course at the mercy of how you’re scoring?

I advise players’ to continually think about what they could be 100% confident in all of the time before they go out and play and during a round. A player who is able to mentally affirm what they can be genuinely confident in “week in, week out” is in a strong position to perform to their potential more often. Consider the following over your next few rounds…

“I can be confident…”

In my ability to hold consistent swing thoughts
In my ability to choose what to think before and during each shot
In my process for deciding and committing to each shot
That I will learn something about my game
That I can choose to enjoy my time on the course
That I can choose the way I respond to poor shots
That I’ve prepared in a way that gives me the best chance of swinging well throughout the course of this round
