Your swing is <strong>tighter<\/strong> and feels jerkier on the course compared to the practice range. This is the number one<br>reason golfers contact me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(2)<\/strong> Your preround jitters do not go away after the first hole. You continue to feel <strong>anxious, tight<\/strong>, or have a knot in your stomach well into the start of the round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(3)<\/strong> You<strong> worry too much<\/strong> about making mistakes and where not it hit the ball. <strong>Fear of failure<\/strong> causes you to try and avoid making bogeys or hitting bad shots. Standing over your shot, all you can see or think about is the trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(4)<\/strong> One bad shot or score on a hole and your <strong>confidence<\/strong> crumbles. Your <strong>high expectations<\/strong> get in the way because you get <strong>frustrated<\/strong> quickly or <strong>lose confidence<\/strong> after bad shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(5)<\/strong> Your swing feels controlled because you <strong>focus too much on technique<\/strong> or how to make a perfect swing. You <strong>over-control<\/strong> your swing because you want to win or beat others so badly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(6)<\/strong> You get easily <strong>frustrated <\/strong>when not playing up to your <strong>expectations<\/strong> or start to protect your score when playing well. Your <strong>comfort zone<\/strong> causes your mind misfire when playing better than or worse than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(7)<\/strong> You have trouble <strong>concentrating<\/strong> in the moment because your mind is too occupied with results. You fail to <strong>focus <\/strong>on one shot at a time because you are over concerned with your score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(8)<\/strong> You <strong>worry too much about what others think<\/strong> about your game and can&#8217;t <strong>focus fully on execution<\/strong>. Your <strong>self-esteem<\/strong> (how you feel about yourself) waivers when you think you are not getting approval from others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/<br><strong>Golf Confidence Coach Course Update:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Only <strong>five days<\/strong> remain to register for the<br>Golfer&#8217;s Mental Edge 8-Week coaching program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Last day to enroll:<br>September 16, 2008 at 6:00 Eastern Time<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/golfers-mental-edge-cd-program\/\">Golfer&#8217;s Mental Edge Coaching Program<\/a><br><\/strong>_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/_\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you identify with any of the above signs your mental game is&nbsp;misfiring?
