Why Golfers Do Better in Practice Than Tournament Rounds
Do you have a young golfer that looks like a star in practice, plays great in practice rounds, but then gets to the golf course and shoots maybe 15 shots over what he does in the practice round? In this week's golf psychology session, mental game of golf expert and author of The Mental Game of Golf, Dr. Cohn, responds to a question from Cary. Here's what he had to say about his son: "I’m looking for help with my son… He’s a very good golfer but he doesn’t do well in tournaments. He hits the ball beautifully in practice and he play all the time. In casual rounds he plays great, but when he plays in the junior tournaments, he’s shooting in the high 80’s. What can you do to help him?" Listen to the podcast now to learn what mental game tips Dr. Cohn gives to help golfers bring their practice round to tournament rounds.
