\u2018Bouncebackability \u2013 Part 2\u2019<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Last weeks column concentrated on your ability, as a golfer, to bounce back during the round following a bad shot or incidents that you consider to be bad luck.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You will recall that the first step is to start feeling better about yourself, reset new goals for the remainder of the round and begin to enjoy yourself again.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The ability to recover from a poor series of shots or events is not just limited to golf.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you watch international cricket you will see that after a \u2018play and miss\u2019 the batsman practises the shot that he should have played.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This has two effects, firstly it re-enforces his confidence and ability to play the correct shot and secondly it is to \u2018park\u2019 the bad shot and forget it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You must do the same in golf.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is essential to remain in the \u2018present\u2019 for the remainder of the round and forget the past because you can’t change it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What is done is done!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Your first target after a bad hole is to re-group and make a nett par on the next hole without any incidents or anxiety.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Remember that at this stage the adrenaline is still flowing so do not be too aggressive but deliberately swing the club slower.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Take a few deep breaths, from the stomach, and plan your way down the hole avoiding unnecessary complications and pressure.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When you have achieved the desired result, a nett par, set a new target to play the next three holes in nett par and soon you will find that your score is back on track and will not de-generate as it would have done without taking control of the situation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
