Maintaining your mental equilibrium means that no matter what mental anomaly you are assaulted with you maintain your mindset pro-actively.  You have to treat your composure like gold dust.  It is the currency which is going to provide you with success.  Don't allow anybody or anything to interfere with it.  More >>>

"State control" is a phrase which has negative connotations, but in golf it has nothing to do with interference by the Government!  It is, however, a factor which more than anything else determines the quality of your golf performance, particularly in the heat of competitive battle.  More >>>

Every year after Christmas and into the spring, the driving ranges are packed with people who are full of optimism and determined that "this year I'll lower my handicap."  They have set out on a journey with just that broad ambition and trusted it would all work out.  Later they find that nothing much has happened: in fact, the game may be worse than when they began the season.   More >>>

How often are you a winner?  Don't tell me you go out in your weekend competition to lose!  Of course you don't.  You are playing to try and win that prize, be it a "Major" like the Club Championship or just an ordinary singles match.  Some golfers appear to be in the winner's circle more often than others and the temptation is to say they are born to it; that it's second nature to them and the rest of us are just not blessed with the trick of coming first.  More >>>

Confidence.  We know it when we see it in a golfer such as Tiger Woods and we also observe its absence in a player who is having a bad day on the course.  But what exactly is confidence?  Being confident is essentially how you think to yourself, about yourself, about yourself in relation to any matter.  More >>>
