Success in golf depends less on strength of body than upon strength of mind and character.
~Arnold Palmer
There is no doubt that golf can be a frustrating game. You only have to look at players as they leave the course with steam coming out of their ears to recognise how strongly golf can affect a person.
There can be few other sports where so many players have a love-hate relationship with the game, and a surprising number of people allow the frustration to completely ruin their enjoyment of the game to the point where they quit playing for good.
And yet, when you ask the typical golfer why they play, most people say ‘To Relax”.
Unfortunately, bad shots are an unavoidable part of playing golf. Even the world’s top players have bad shots. The difference is that the average player will allow a few bad shots to spiral out of control and ruin their whole round, whereas the top player will deal with the frustration and will not allow it to break their concentration.
In this video, I share some tips to help you let go bad shots and stop them ruining your game.

Hi Karl
My playing partner did exactly what you demonstrated when we played yesterday. He hit his drive into the water hazard in front of the tee. BUT he then went on to hit 2 more shots in precisely the same way – straight into the water!! We left the tee and he took a drop, at which point he started hitting ferocious distances with no apparent difficulty.
His concern is how to get over the awful feeling NEXT time he stands on that particular tee and I think your suggestions could really help – I will pass on your comments and hope he logs onto your site.
