It doesn’t matter what ability level your golf game now sits at. It is of no consequence how long you have been playing the game. It doesn’t matter if you normally play for money, for bragging rights with your buddies, or in competitions competing for cash, prizes or pride. Very likely you have had to deal with nervousness while golfing at some particular point in your life.

You have got to realize you’re not alone with that problem. A case of the nerves strikes each golfer once in awhile, even the pros. Just switch on the TV and watch one of the majors. Coming down the stretch guys hit bad shots, miss short putts, and make mistakes they typically wouldn’t make. The pressure gets to them and they play this game professionally!

So , if the pros suffer with anxiety every once in awhile what is the average golfer to do? My recommendation is to practice your breathing. When you’re feeling yourself getting tense or nervous on the course, take a timeout. During this short break close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing. Take a couple of giant breathes, hold the air in your lungs, and visualize the stress leaving your body as you exhale.

This works because your mind is trained to decelerate when you’re respiring slow and deep. If you breathe short and fast it triggers the fight or flight reply, which causes your adreline to rush and your body to amp itself up in alternative routes.

Deep breathing works, but the other good piece of news is that experience lessens nerves too. Television announcers occasionally say that blokes need to discover how to win. Fundamentally this means the golfers who are competing to win a tournament that haven’t been there before don’t know what occurs next. They are unversed in their surroundings. Guys who have competed and won contests are way more cushty having gone through the fire.

The same happens with you. The more people you play with, the more that you realize other players are nothing to be fearful of. The more times you hit successful shots, the less fear you’ll have of screwing up. So just get out there and play!
