I was able to get out on an actual golf course today for the first time in almost a month. It was only for about 40 min and it was only some chipping and pitching. But I noticed something I and I farted around not really trying to accomplish anything. I don’t know if it was just tonight or if this will continue or not.
but, I was throwing chips right next to the hole and even made a couple. Putts were dropping. Even some pretty long putts. After wards as I drive home it kinda dawned on me.
on the chipping green I was hitting them to tap in range. But when I was hitting the chips I was “trying” to hole them not get them close.
The putts were going in because I was trying to hole them. Not trying to “not miss” if that makes sense.
i wonder how much our mindset as we hit chits actually has a large impact on the outcome. There are days I play really well and I am not even trying to play well. But when I try to play well it seems to go worse.
how Much have you thought about your mindset in the course? Or even from shot to shot? I am going to try and apply the I am going to hole this shot more often. Even if it is a 100 shot.
