Tantrums on the course

[Shaunmg]

A lob a day helps you work rest and de-stress!

I strongly disagree. We are all human and we all get annoyed with ourselves. I often cursed myself and got into a bad state of mind, and still do, but much less often. I try to train myself to laugh off the bad shot or ignore them completely as if nothing happened. It’s not easy and doesn’t always happen

But I do know if I’m mad and in a band state of mind, it will most definitely affect my next shot or shots
The professional sportsman whether a he’s goalkeeper or pro golfer forget their mistakes and get on with it, otherwise more mistakes will come. It’s called professionalism. Bad state of mind = bad game.

No one thinks you’re a tut tut when you duff a shot, but they do when you throw a tantrum

I'm usually aware of my audience when getting vocal. I was out on my own yesterday, course was empty. Almost threw several of my clubs, but quit on the down swing... just like my duffed chips

Bumped into a lady on the 17th and played the last 2 with her, had to completey change my attitude and made two very tidy pars in her company.

Stressing out, stresses me out.

you'll have trouble getting out of the sand like that, use a wedge like everyone else, and all will be better

I used to play regular with a club chucker, doesnt matter what it is was, if he duffed something the club would often go further than the ball. At first I found it highly amusing, then I started to get emabarrased when other people would see it...in the end I stopped partnering him!
