I like the Nick Faldo Reference. Its true we become what we prepare for. The more I practice and expect to play well the better I play. I think this goes along well with the power of positive thinking. If somebody is scared of the water they are much more likely to hit in it. It's important to accept challenges and beat them. Accomplishing something new everyday is a great way to grow into what you want to be. Well written Rand. I like the Nick Faldo Reference. Its true we become what we prepare for.

Therefore, they keep getting the same results. Many will give lip service to this concept, then say it doesn't work. It is the few who will actually do something about it, take action and stick with it. It is the few who will reap the benefits. Yes Nathan exactly, and most are unwilling to invest in themselves.

I've noticed that since i've been working more so i don't have as much time to put into my game.

]]> Comment on Behavior & Demeanor on the Golf Course by Rand Marquardt http://golfissupposedtobefun.com/2010/10/behavior-demeanor-on-the-golf-course/#comment-1738 Rand Marquardt Sun, 03 Oct 2010 12:22:53 +0000 http://golfissupposedtobefun.com/?p=230#comment-1738 Most of my rounds of golf growing up as a youngster and into adulthood where met with the same pattern of circumstances as Jack so eloquently describes. If I was playing good golf I was up. If I was playing so so golf I was ho hum. If I was playing shi**y golf I was pi**ed! Usually each round had a little of each. Now, I have found an inner peace as my golf world paradigm has shifted to one of awareness and understanding and I am responsible for exactly what and how I am being and what I am doing. Golf is supposed to be fun and life is an amazing adventure along the fairway.

I fell into this trap some years ago and wasn't enjoying my golf one bit. All I was concerned about was my handicap going up if I had a poor round, so even if I played well I was so nervous about ruining the card that I invariably screwed up. Fortunately I realised this, I resigned my membership because I realised that what I really enjoyed about golf was playing different courses. I now play just as much but nomadically, enjoy it far far more and my handicap has improved! I couldn’t agree more with the title of your blog Rand.

"I was so nervous when I played professional golf I was jumping out of my skin," Nelson. "Why did you retire," Watson. "Tom, I got tired of throwing up before I played." We all have anxious, and nervous moments on the golf course. We can even allow negative thoughts to filter in. I invite you to "be with" your nerves because what you look at, disappears. And I invite you to shift your focus upon what you do want versus what you don't want. Commit to that. Gradually you can reprogram your brain to be more positive by thinking healthier and better feeling thoughts. Embrace the process along the fairway of life.
