PREPARATION
Know your optimum ‘game face’
Some players perform at their best when they are
relaxed, chatty and social throughout the round,
while others prefer to keep to themselves, avoid
casual chit-chat and maintain a higher level of
focus. Think about a time when you played great
golf. How did it feel and what was your on-course
demeanour? Simply recreate that state of mind
the next time you play. Most importantly, don’t
allow others to take you out of your preferred
mental state when you’re on the course.5
