REACTING ON THE GOLF COURSE Reacting on the golf course is natural and is a part of learning. The most important part of reacting is how you respond to what has happened. Take for instance how you may react to a plugged lie in a bunker. Elite level golfers are able to manage themselves and respond by shifting their attention to the area that will give them the most success. Instead of blaming the course about the bunker and their result, they acknowledge it as their challenge and accept the outcome. This results in more consistent success, higher commitment, and boosted confidence. ACCEPT OBSTACLES AS CHALLENGES ASK BE IS WHAT I AM DOING HELPING OR DISTRACTING? EVENT YOUR OWN BEST FAN.
