9 DON’T follow or use the advice / instruction of
Your Golf Pro / Coach. Instead think that buying the newest, improved club, ball, etc. will fix Your game – with
no effort on Your part.
8 Continue
to worry about what other people think about Your Golf game. Here’s the truth – they DON’T care!
They’re busy worrying about what You think about Their Golf game! So they don’t have time to think about
Yours.
7 If You have a bad shot,
berate / beat Yourself up. Tell Yourself what a lousy, crummy Golfer You are.
6 Carry the last shot with You to the next shot. Be thinking
about Your last shot instead of the current shot.
5
While You’re playing, especially as You’re about to take a shot, be thinking about the argument You had with Your
wife / husband, girlfriend / boyfriend, boss, kids, etc.
4 Be thinking about the Mechanics of Your game, especially when You’re about
to take a swing.
3 DO
continue with Negative Self Talk like “I’ll never make this shot”, “Where’s my water ball”,
“That sand trap has my name on it”, “I’m going to miss this shot.” “Uh-oh –
another lousy swing.”
2
DO have the New Year’s Resolution Mindset, but don’t go through with Your Commitment to practice more, utilize
a Golf Mental Coach, get in better shape, etc.

DON’T have a Mental Golf Coach help You with Confidence, Focus, Positive Self Talk, Stress Reduction, etc.
