Daily Post: Mistakes
“I’ve never played a perfect 18 holes. There is no such thing
I expect to make at least 7 mistakes per round.
Therefore I when I make a bad shot… I don’t worry about it, it is just one of the seven”
- WALTER HAGEN -
An interesting quote from one of the best players to have played the game,
And you may think ‘But you’ve posted and said about having no expectations when you play!?’
Well that is still something I very much believe and encourage, but despite this I think it’s also realistic to know we will make some mistakes during a round of golf, even on the best days!
Go easy on yourself when you make a mistake on the course. No player is immune, including the best in the world, from making errors, both mentally and physically.
When playing, the key is learning to accept & move on and not let a mistake compound.
This is where the quote above becomes a tool you can use on your own game by giving yourself an amount of mistakes allowed per round (can be 7, can be more pending on your ability/preference)
This way you can chalk them off and not let them fester!
Then, post round, it's important to identify the mistakes you made and consider if it was mental or physical, and whether a mental or physical error then led to the other, or compounded one of the same faults.
From here it's applying ideas and processes to guard against, or be prepared for, if the potential for the same mistakes arise again.
