Focus Your Thoughts

How can I help myself stay focused on the course?

By Southland Golf MagazinePublished: October, 2007

Patient: Male
Age: 60
Current Handicap: 11
Lowest handicap: 5
Plays: A few times a month
Practices: Never

Ailment:  I've found that I'm thinking too much over my shots about things that have nothing to do with golf. The next thing I know I've hit a terrible shot and wasted strokes. What can I do to get my focus back on the course?

Prescription: This is a common problem in today's fast-paced world, but the golf course should be a diversion from work and multi-tasking.

A method I use is to symbolically take my problems and put them into a pocket of my golf bag, along with my watch, wallet, keys and cell phone. The game is challenging enough without the distractions of the outside world. I found that the break from thinking about extraneous problems lets me attack them with a fresh perspective. As a result, I played better and was more effective after the round.
