Moving into action before actually thinking about each and every shot should be avoided. By not deliberating about your strategy, you leave to chance where your next shot will end up. When you plan each shot very carefully, you will find that the fear you have about missing the shot will dissipate.

Place more emphasis on the mental part of your game. Being confident means thinking of ways to play to your best ability which will dramatically increase the odds of making a good shot.

Know Your Capabilities

The golf handicap system makes golf a comparative game. Golfers, who regularly shoot in the 90s or 100s can compete against Tour Pros because of the handicap system. The handicap system also has another important role and that is to allow each player to play within his or her capabilities.

The amateur golfer needs to know that if they play up to their capabilities, the handicap system will take care of the rest. The key word in all of this is “consistency.”
