Most common mistakes Competitive Golfers make
There are many mistakes competitive golfers make and each golfer is likely to have their own unique challenges and weaknesses. However, some common mistakes that competitive golfers make include:
Having expectations of a result that is unrealistic. Competitive golfers can easily look at their potential as a golfer and expect to shoot a score that is approaching their career best. The truth is, if a golfer shoots within 10 shots of their career best on any given day, it’s a good round.
Getting too focused on their score, as opposed to placing their focus on the process of producing a score.
Not properly managing their emotions on the golf course and letting anger, frustration, excitement or anxiety affect their play.
Failing to maintain a proper and consistent golf shot routine throughout the round, which can lead to poor physical and mental performance.
Not properly adjusting their technique or strategy to suit the conditions of the course, or to overcome any challenges they may be facing.
Overall, the key to avoiding mistakes as a competitive golfer is to prepare really well and to remain focused, disciplined and ready for any situation that may arise on the golf course.
