Blanking Out Negativity

"If profanity had an influence on the flight of the ball, the game of golf would be played far better than it is." - Horace G. Hutchinson

Blanking Out Negativity

A clear head is important for accomplishing what you want to do with your shot, so keep it simple.

The time that golfrs have to prepare for their next shot can be a bonus or a burden, depending on how it is used. When you start to overanalyze the next shot, your brain gets cluttered and so do your body signals.

Don't occupy yourself with thinking about past shots or holes. These will only obstruct your thinking. Focus on the current shot, not the one you had five minutes ago.

Try repeating a mantra (a word with no meaning or a single thought) to clear your mind. Focus your attention on breathing just before you prepare for a shot. This will help you to relax. If other thoughts come to mind, let them pass and return to the mantra.

Keep thinking about how you are going to hit the shot to one mental cue such as tempo. If you're a visual player, see the target and let your body hit the shot.

Putt on!
