What helps you play well?

[londonlewis]

I'd be keen to hear what people do to help them on the course.

Personally, I line up every shot using my golf club (looking down the line of the club for a target 1-2 feet in front of the ball).
I then know that I am aligned correctly to my target.

What do you do?

Picturing the shot in my head. And also remembering I've hit that shot well countless times in the past.

I like it, I must remember to do this.

This, with telling myself , you have the right club no need to try kill it & the very worst that can happen is .1

Holding the finish.

How many times have you pured a shot and found yourself holding the finish until it lands.
I find if i focus on a balanced finish then i usually put a good swing on it,

Some folks are like bambi on ice and it shows in the shot result .

Played yesterday was warm enough for just a Shirt played great

I'm the same. I often don't wear a jumper or waterproofs even if it is windy / cold / raining.

A nice course and nice weather also good company.

I also hit the ball better when I do the basics right,lately I must have been doing them wrong.

Also having a clear mind

[Jimaroid]

I only seem to play well when I'm not thinking about playing.

I'm finding it really hard to disengage my brain and just hit the ball at the moment.

In all seriousness, I find when i am pushed for time i struggle, you know when you have told the wife you will be home by 1pm etc. I play at my most relaxed when i have nowhere to be afterwards, that's pretty rare for me!

Same for me. My game falls apart if i start worrying about being somewhere else. I sometimes finish work early and sneak off for a round without my wife knowing. The first 9 are usually ok but crumbles on the back 9 when the guilt hits 😭

Trust. I know I've worked hard on my game and now is the time to stand there and let it flow
