Blocking out distractions
July 13, 2006I never was around golf as a kid, but I have new respect for those who conquer the mental game in that sport.
I play disc golf, poor man's golf with frisbees, and while the physical nature is different, it seems like the mental nature in similar.
So how do you forget a missed putt? It's so easy to tell someone to forget their last shot, but much harder to practice.
Don't think, just putt! Much easier said than done.
Putts that look true and don't fall can be maddening, but one that's missed because of a mental breakdown is worse.
Then you have to try and remember it's fun out there and you'll get to putt again on the next hole.
Again, easier said than done. I'm playing for nothing but pride and it's still difficult.
