How to Handle Pressure on the Golf Course

You must have heard about golfers choking in pressure situations? What exactly is choking?

di Malaysia,sukan golf bukan lagi asing lagi kepada masyarakat kita kerana semua golongan mesyarakat tahu mengenai sukan golf.tetapi di Malaysia masih ada lagi masyarakat yang tak pernah bermain golf kerana kos nya mahal,untuk pengetahuan semua golf bukan satui sukan untuk orang kaya sahaja tetapi sesiapa sahaja boleh bermain golf kerana kini telah banyak pusat golf yang terdapat di malaysia

It is hitting a bad shot after you allow anger, anxiety, doubt or fear to enter your mind. Whatever you are thinking of or whatever you say to yourself just before hitting a shot becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Your brain will guide your muscles and your golf club to strange-looking swings, if you allow it. If you are distracted by negative thoughts, you won’t swing the club the way you normally could because your muscles will become tense and almost non-functional.

However, you must understand that being a little nervous in the stomach area is normal for all great players. Being nervous, having shaky hands or a pounding heart is a good sign, because it means you are eager to compete.

But, you must separate your brain from your body. Your body can be nervous, but your mind must remain calm. This is possible if you follow these guidelines:

1. Focus on the target, not on what bad things can happen. Imagine that you are on the course with your friends and you have a bet as to who can hit the fairway or green.

2. Take a few deep breaths. Relax your neck, arms, shoulders, and hands so that you are not tense in any way. Pay attention to your jaw and teeth. Do not clench or grind your teeth because this will lead to tension everywhere else in your body.

3. Do not worry about the results of the shot before you hit it. Just concentrate on making a smooth swing, just as you would on the driving range with nobody else around.

4. As a final point, if you miss a putt or another shot even though your thoughts were filled with good intentions, just accept it as part of the game and do not dwell on it. Do not beat yourself up. Enjoy the game and try and forget about the shots you missed.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — In an era when every swing looks more and more the same, your 54-hole leader at the Players Championship sports a home-cooked move that looks all wrong until you see the results. And that's just with the putter.

Paul Goydos, a 43-year-old journeyman without a hat deal, racked up 11 one-putts while shooting a two-under-par 70 on Saturday. He's a shot ahead of 47-year-old Kenny Perry, who carded a quiet 72, and three clear of the youngster, 28-year-old Sergio Garcia, who played with the leader and slipped to a 73.

"It's a function of not hitting a lot of greens," said Goydos, who is averaging 26 putts per round this week. "I think I only hit nine yesterday and 10 today, so [the one-putt binge] is partly a function of missing the ball in the right place to where you have a reasonable chance to chip it close. And I have made my share of 10-to-15-footers."

Perry said: "Well, who would have predicted us to be in the last group? I mean seriously, you've got all the kids playing so well and all the superstars playing well."

While Perry still plays the Tour's conventional power game, Goydos does not. He hits it about 265 yards off the tee, which NBC's Johnny Miller pointed out is about average — for the LPGA.

Goydos has 31 one-putts in 54 holes, all the more impressive given his unconventional stroke — an aim-right, hit-left move. Miller couldn't decide if it was more evocative of Billy Casper or Gary Player.

Garcia, conversely, had his usual trouble on the greens. He three-putted the 17th green from 10 feet and bogeyed 18 as well after losing his tee shot right. Garcia took 34 putts Saturday,golf hole a day after taking 33.

"With everything that happened, I'm still there," Garcia said. "I still have a good chance, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow."

Much was made of the unconventional second-to-last pairing Saturday. While Garcia is a ball-striking machine (he hit 14 greens in regulation and is averaging 15 for the week), Goydos is a ham-and-egg guy whose game isn't always pretty. He was quick to make light of that fact, as well as the cold truth that he has two victories in 16 years on Tour, is 169th in the world ranking and has never held a 54-hole lead until now.

"I guess I was due," he said, bringing laughs from the assembled media. And, wait for it: "Sergio played well. He just didn't — nothing happened. I'm sure he was looking at me and just kind of wanting to throw up."

All kidding aside, Goydos almost lost his Tour card before finishing tied for second in the last tournament of 2006. He won the Sony Open to start 2007, then hit another dry spell, with his best finish since January 2007 a tie for 25th at last week's Wachovia Championship. How does he explain this week?

"I think it's a function of being patient," Goydos said. "I think that's the ultimate thing you have to do in this job."

Phil Mickelson's one-under 71 could have been better but for a drive into the pond that led to a double bogey on the par-4 14th hole. Although the world's second-ranked player is five strokes off the lead, only two players, Perry and Garcia, stand between him and the leader. Mickelson is tied at two under with 50-year-old Bernhard Langer, who shot 75 Saturday, and Jeff Quinney, who shot 70.

"I hope I can get off to a good start tomorrow with a couple of birdies," Mickelson said. "I'm not in a position where they're going to be thinking about me yet. You know, I've got to play well for the first 12, 13 holes probably before I can make enough birdies to have them take notice. But at least I'm somewhere in there."

Ernie Els, who like Mickelson began the day at one under, also could not avoid the big mistake, making two bogeys and a double on his first four holes. He rebounded with three birdies on the back nine to shoot a 73 and get back to even par, but he is still seven back.

The forecast for Sunday's final round is the most ominous of the week, with a chance of thunderstorms in the morning and showers and thunderstorms likely in the afternoon. Softer greens could make it easier for a player to come out of the pack with a low round; Sergio Garcia's 66 on Thursday remains the low round of the week.
