First club competitions....

[Redwood]

Well, we have Festival week coming up at Bude (24th July to the 1st Aug) and I am playing in three comps.

I've never played in a comp before, and am really looking forward to it, but am also a little nervous.

Any tips on staying calm whilst playing in these sorts of situations.

Cheers

If all else fails, Stella remains the universal tonic.

From the first tee shot till the final putt, play the shot you know you can play and not the shot you think you should play......

And enjoy it, best golf is played when your relaxed

Play within yourself. You know the course and the potential pitfalls. If you get in trouble take your medicine. Everyone gets nervous on the first and if you watch everyone on the first as your putting you'll see more than one poor shot.

The important thing is to relax and enjoy the company and the course. Anything else is a bonus

I was thinking of wearing some John Daly-esque trousers.

That way it will certainly distract my fellow playing partners of my possible jitters on the first!!!
