Rain delays can create a vast amount of time for golfers to \u201cremain in their head\u201d and over-think their game.&nbsp; The ability to be flexible during rain delays is critical for playing consistent golf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2013 Presidents Cup experienced multiple rain delays prompting officials to start the closing singles session three hours ahead of schedule in hopes of finishing the competition on Sunday.&nbsp; &nbsp;Despite a 90-minute delay Thursday, a 2-hour, 34-minute delay Friday and another 76-minute delay on Saturday due to inclement weather, the U.S. beat the Internationals, 18 \u00bd- 15 \u00bd to gain their 5<sup>th<\/sup> straight President\u2019s Cup victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strong_Mindset\"><\/span>Strong Mindset<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What factors helped the U.S. team secure another Cup victory?&nbsp; The U.S. team was extremely talented and strongly favored to win match play against the International team that fielded seven rookies on their squad.&nbsp; Of course, the most talented and experienced players don\u2019t always win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are countless examples where higher-ranked players are beaten because they took victory for granted and didn\u2019t play to the level of their ability.&nbsp; The U.S. team had something else besides talent and experience\u2026 it was <strong>composure<\/strong>, a calmness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tiger Woods earned four points for the U.S. team, the most points scored by any player. He talked about the stress of the tournament. &#8220;It&#8217;s been a long week for all of us. I think that a few of us are a little bit dinged up and our physios did a hell of a job this week of getting us out there and keeping us going. And especially with all of the start and stops &#8230; I&#8217;m a little bit sore, and certainly I&#8217;m looking forward to not touching a club for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The unspoken pearl of wisdom in Wood\u2019s statement has to do with the ability to \u201crelax\u201d despite the pressure of a multi-day tournament. The tournament was filled with tough playing conditions: wind, torrential downpours and rain delays but the U.S. seemed at ease during the tournament even playing with a squirrel on the first day and nicknaming their mascot, \u201cSammy.\u201d Their opponents were focused on trying to reverse their fortune and beat the U.S. team for the first time since 1998.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bad playing conditions can throw you off your game, if you let them. Keep in mind that everyone in the field plays in the same conditions. <strong>The golfers who can cope with the adverse conditions will succeed<\/strong>. If you find yourself in a rain delay, use extra time to take brief \u201c<strong>mental breaks<\/strong>\u201d (stretching, listening to music) then re-focus on your game when it is time to re-engage play. This will help you take your mind off the competition and perform well when play resumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-979ef383-5bc7-43ee-b8f9-249663ca1a6c\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Sports_Psychology_Articles\"><\/span>Related Sports Psychology Articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-05642731-8752-4dbf-9c18-5cc4d276e821\" class=\"wp-block-list has-normal-font-size\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/mindset-for-playing-in-tough-conditions\/\"><strong>Mindset for Playing in Tough Conditions<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/the-mindset-for-playing-in-tough-conditions\/\"><strong>The Mindset for Playing in Tough Conditions<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/bad-weather-doesnt-derail-us-presidents-cup-team\/\"><strong>Bad Weather Doesn\u2019t Derail US President\u2019s Cup Team<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-5726d13f-f715-4ca4-8813-2f8a9ebd8bc3\">*Subscribe to<strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/sports-psychology-podcast-by-peaksports-com\/id152566009\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>on iTunes<br>*Subscribe to <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0ynyaalKxbnNmsoeL8gF5X?si=8224669de9b3435b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/strong><\/a> on Spotify<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-281f5afb-980b-4c71-9aa0-11d606b5f7c9\"><strong>Download a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/mental-toughness-report-athletes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free sports psychology report<\/a>&nbsp;to improve your mental game!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-94138e75-d591-4645-bb1d-212cf57a8841\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sport-psychology-training-athletes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about our one-on-one mental game coaching.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Golfers_Mental_Edge\"><\/span>Golfer&#8217;s Mental Edge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/golfers-mental-edge20.jpg\" alt=\"Golf Psychology CD\" class=\"wp-image-4169\" style=\"width:228px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s the <em>big sign<\/em> that <strong>your mental game is the weak link<\/strong> in your golf game?
