Golf Playing Lessons

Weir and Masters Sunday

Breaking a score barrier: Weir's strategy for composure

Breaking 80 (or any other type of golf score
barrier) is tough.

But according to the pros, shooting a
low score on Sunday to win a tournament is
tougher.

When Mike Weir won the Masters for the first time
in 2003, he learned that winning required
a whole new mindset.

He says:

'What's important to me is not only that
I won the Masters, but HOW I won the Masters.

On the last few holes the only person
that could affect me winning the tournament was
me, and I had no margin for error.'

Since taking responsibility for his performance
and winning the Masters, Weir is more patient.

He can play poorly in the first three days,
but instead of getting frustrated,
he stays cool:

'I knew it would come together, that it was
just a matter of time. That's exactly what
happened on Sunday, and I made a bunch of birdies
and ended up 3rd. Before I would have pressed
too much and ended up 20th.'

Mental Toughness Exercise

We can learn from Mike.

The most important lesson he provides is that
there is no substitute for patience on the golf course.

How do you 'press' when you're not playing well?

Do you try to drive the ball further?
Select over-ambitious shots?
Overpower your putts?

Write down these tendencies.

The next time you're on the course and
find yourself pressing, get back in control.

Be like Mike.

Tell yourself that golf is eternally inconsistent,
and that your game will all come together in time.

I'll talk to you again soon.

PS: If you’re wondering how you can
quickly and easily shave several strokes off
your golf score, then please listen up.

I have spend several years working with
and learning from many of the world’s best
athletes on staying relaxed and
performing their best under pressure…
I then refined these ideas, tested the techniques,
and put them together in one

If you want to dramatically improve your short game,
bomb long drives, and retain your composure,
then I recommend you get a copy of my ebook,
