- Develop a routine. The pros practice their swing over and over until it’s second nature, and if they are interrupted, they start over from the beginning. You don’t have to wait until you’re on the course to go over your fundamentals; you can practice your swing anytime, anywhere.
- Harness your emotions. Take all your pent-up feelings and channel them into your swing
- Be confident. Don’t focus on your bad shot; instead, remember past successes on the course. Positive memories will help you turn your bad shot into a distant memory.Step 5
- Try a conservative approach until you get back in the game. Forget the risky moves. Grip the driver down an inch and try a smaller swing that moves the ball forward until you get your game back.
