golf – Thoughts on the Mental Game of Golf

Golf blasfemo

Are you just beginning to get into the habit of playing golf? Do you see other lady golfers playing and wonder what you should wear when playing golf? Let’s face it! Golf is a fashionable sport. And every time you get on that fairway is another chance to show off by wearing the latest and trendiest in ladies golf fashion.

Whenever I have heard of any Tour player employ the services of a sports psychologist, that golfer is usually someone who is desperate to find the answers as to why they can’t win more golf tournaments. In my view, the answer to that question is simple: they are not mentally tough enough because they don’t have enough confidence in their own abilities.

Confidence in your abilities is the biggest key to being able to perform under pressure. However, confidence does not just appear in your game over night. Confidence only appears after a lot of hard work on your game, and from playing a lot of golf!

I just viewed a video of Lee Trevino. He said “….you won’t learn much from me…I never had a mental approach. I got my confidence from hard work.”

Trevino worked hard on his game, but that is not all. I’ve read stories of him before his days on the Tour showing up for a match with no money in his pocket and making lots of bets. You want to talk about pressure! Well, that is how you simulate the pressure of a golf tournament. You have to repeatedly put yourself in the position where something is on the line when you stand up to the tee on the 18th hole, or you are faced with that all important 6 foot putt. If you never do that with yourself, you will never learn how to deal with the pressure that just comes from playing in the 3rd flight in your club championship!

I find it very interesting that you find very few, if any, books written about the mental game by any top player. Sure, there are books that SPECULATE about how Tiger Woods’ developed his mental toughness, but he has never written about the topic himself. The same may be said about Jack Nicklaus who is arguably Tiger’s equal in terms of mental toughness.

Various golf t-shirts are also available to match your skort. Make sure they are comfortable and they don’t affect your swing. Meanwhile, if wearing skorts is not your kind of thing, you can also opt to wear golf dresses. There are lots of dresses you can purchase to fit your specific body type, so you should have no problem finding one which suits you perfectly.

Wearing the right golf shoes is also important. Aside from choosing the right design that will match your other apparel, you should also ensure that the shoes work properly for you as well. They should be comfortable enough, so you can walk with them for hours during a golf game. They should likewise provide good traction, so you won’t slip even if the ground is wet.

All collections are available for men and women in both heat gear and cold gear.

Tight fitting success

While there are still some who raises their brows to this new apparel, there are those who firmly believe its grave contribution to a hole in one. A tedious athlete always assures he is free to perform at his peak anytime and any place or any weather
