behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Playing a round from behind is one of the more challenging aspects in golf. It is a challenge every golfer will face at one time or another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But isn\u2019t that why you chose to play the sport of golf?&#8230; For the excitement?&#8230; For the challenges?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each course, each round of golf, each tournament tests your physical and mental prowess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your <strong>mental<\/strong> <strong>game<\/strong> and what you <strong>focus<\/strong> on that determines if you overcome the challenges on the golf course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can choose what you <strong>focus<\/strong> on when trailing by 2-3 strokes in a tournament&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you think about the score (the outcome) or hitting good shots (the process)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why do some golfers fall apart when trailing by 2-3 strokes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Many_argue_that_focusing_on_the_score_helps_motivate_a_golfer\"><\/span>Many argue that focusing on the score helps motivate a golfer.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In reality, focusing on the outcome of a hole or the score is just a distraction from what you need to do for each shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you focus on score, that can limit you when playing well or poorly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, worrying about the score does not change the score at all&#8211;it can hurt your score..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preparing your best for each golf shot and focusing on execution affects your score. So, your <strong>focus<\/strong> should be on immersing yourself into your routine rather than, <em>\u201cI have to make up two strokes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Golf_Legends_And_Their_Comebacks\"><\/span>Golf Legends And Their Comebacks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most great professional golfers have made comebacks on the last day of play to win a tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jack Nicklaus won eight tournaments after being behind on the last day of play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arnold Palmer came from seven back at the 1960 U.S. Open in Cherry Hills to secure a victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gary Player overcame a seven-shot deficit to win the 1978 Masters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nick Faldo won the 1989 Masters from five back and the 1996 Masters from six back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are probably thinking, \u201cBut they are champions and more skilled than I am.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no doubt that skill helps in mounting a comeback but <strong>focusing<\/strong> on the process helped them hit great golf shots when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_focus_on_the_process_when_down_2-3_strokes\"><\/span>How do you focus on the process when down 2-3 strokes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, when you <strong>focus<\/strong> on the process, the results will take care of themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of the times you played your best golf and you will find that you were not analyzing every shot or thinking about possible scenarios at the end of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather, you probably focused on doing your &#8220;homework&#8221; for each shot, committing to a plan, and having <strong>confidence<\/strong> you could execute the plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has been your recipe for <strong>success<\/strong> in the past and is the mentality you want to adopt for each shot.
