For as long as golf has existed, the game’s greatest players and instructors have lauded the value of mental toughness. For every golfer, their psychology is the most influential part of their game. However, as areas of the game, like equipment development and course strategy systems, have continued to evolve, the depth and understanding of golf psychology, which all other areas of a golfer’s game depend on, has not kept pace. For many golfers, notions urging them to “just be confident,” “think positive,” and “just relax” are the commonly held, outdated, and surface-level approaches to their psychology that become the primary barriers to playing better and more enjoyable golf.
