\u2018The Secret of Golf\u2019<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I would bet that every single golfer that has played this glorious game of golf has been looking for the \u2018secret\u2019 to good golf.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Well for the first time in your life someone is going to give you this information for free.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Are you ready for it?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The secret is that \u201cthere are no difficult shots in golf\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Rubbish I can hear you all scream so let me explain these comments.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you played the game of golf on a course where every hole was the same length, no wind changes, no bunkers, no rough, no trees and perfectly flat greens you would not play golf and why?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The answer is simple because it would not be \u2018 interesting\u2019 enough.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So remember what I said previous, from a mental perspective, there are no difficult shots in golf, some are \u2018more interesting\u2019 than others.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The next time you are faced with that deft chip from a tight lie to a pin tucked behind a bunker remember these words.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of convincing yourself how difficult the shots is and how you can not possibly play the shot think to yourself \u2018this is an interesting shot\u2019<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

While in itself it will not prevent you hitting a poor shot, because your technique could be flawed, it will take stress from your mind and body and will prevent you hitting a poor shot because of the way you were thinking.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the same way when next faced with a tricky 3-foot putt to win, instead of saying to yourself \u201cI have got to get this\u201d replace this thought with \u201cI am going to get this\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Again you will find with a good technique that you hole more of these putts with less stress on mind and body.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So there you have it, the secret of golf, now all you have to do is put it into practise.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
