The Psychology Of Golf: Manage Mental Errors

This audio is for anyone who golfs, whether they compete, or if they just play for fun. Psychologist Dr. Mike Drysdale and Mental game coach Bill Cole, MS, MA take a deep dive into a very specialized aspect of the mental game of golf—how to reduce your mental errors, and how to mentally recover from any type of error you make as you play.

The object of golf is not to "stop making errors". That's impossible. You will make mistakes during your round of golf. It's inevitable! The question is, how can you minimize them, and how can you deal with those mistakes?

What you will discover in this 40-minute audio:

  • How to handle mental errors in golf.

  • The role of awareness in golf.

  • Achieving the proper mindset for golf.

  • Attention in golf.

  • Accepting what happens and move on.

  • Vowing to resolve any technical issues after the round.

  • Examples of mental errors in golf.

  • How you can keep your mind in the here and now.

  • Ways you can pull your mind back into focus when it wanders.

  • How Jim Furyk, "Mr. 58", got into the zone that special day.

  • Don't "try" to avoid mistakes.

  • Using intentionality to play "on purpose".

  • Being aware of how you use appraisal.

  • The Threat vs. Challenge attitude and mindset.

  • Reframing a lousy lie to an interesting challenging lie.

  • The Past, Present and Future orientations.

  • The creative tension of a challenge.

  • Playing within yourself.

  • Devising contingency plans for emergencies.

  • Never trying to force the issue to "make up for" a bad hole.

  • Don't necessarily try to "figure out what happened" after you make a mistake.

  • Allowing mistakes to self-correct.

  • Stop "showing yourself what not to do".

  • Stop living in the past.

  • Mentally segmenting your performance.

  • Deepening your rituals.
