Life and golf can be a funny game. Most believe it’s important to think positive (as do I), yet no matter how hard we “try” to be positive we can’t force it. First we must acknowledge our negativity. We must become brutally honest with ourselves before a light will shine upon our attitude and demeanor. Acknowledging our negativity is actually a loving act. By being with, acknowledging, and then letting go a new path emerges. Most will fight and scream and hit balls until their hands are bloody. Whereas, if we can just be brutally honest with ourselves, we can then allow the positive well-being to flow ~, which by the way has existed within us all along.

I agree that positive thinking controls a lot in this game of game especially when somebody is a low handicap but there is a fine line of being positive and expecting too much of yourself. If someone is mechancially wrong they can’t expect certain things from themselves. Everybody needs to know their limits. I think when when people start to see positive signs from their golf games the confidence grows. But it can go both ways. When things are good confidence is up but when someone isn’t swinging good it can do spiral out of control just as fast. People need to not get to high or too low when it comes what to they should expect. I’ve noticed when people don’t have expectations but they stay in a positive mindset good things can happen.

Play well & Be as you wish to seem,
