Mental Game

Mike Dynda, PGA - Blue Bell Country Club
This tip is for those of you who are typically having trouble breaking 100 or even 90 and have not seen improvement in your scores in recent seasons, and are probably not going to invest in professional instruction. 
 
First thing, even if you have limited time and/or resources for professional instruction, contact your local PGA Professional and schedule a 9 hole course management session.  Maybe a young assistant who is a good player will be more accessible to a busy successful teacher.
It is my observation that most bogey golfers and higher could shoot a much lower score just by simply making better decisions.  Most golfers in this category make on course decisions based on their best ever shot with the club in hand, not taking into account the risk/reward associated with the shot.
 
Second thing, if you are not going to seek professional instruction, I'd recommend you do most everything the opposite of what you are currently doing.  What I mean by that is:  golf is counter-intuitive, it's a game of opposites............Remember the Seinfeld episode where George said  " If everyone one of my normal instincts is wrong, I'll do just the opposite"  So do yourself a favor and DO THE OPPOSITE!
NO, do yourself a favor and schedule at least 1 hour of professional instruction from your local PGA Professional.
 
Enjoy the Challenge!!!!!!!!!
