Just have a Coke or something and watch the boys go past.

'You know Bobby, when I was your age I'd drive the ball right over those trees at the corner.' Feeling challenged Mr. Cole hit a big driver right into those big trees. Snead then said 'Of course, when I was your age, those trees were only 10 feet high.'

Don't just play your way around the course. Think your way around way around the course.

Nobody asked how you looked, just what you shot.

Never let up. The more you can win by, the more doubts you put in the other players' minds the next time out.

You have more potential than you think.
Sam Snead
Image
First and fore-most, you must have confidence. Your second mental problem is concentration. Think the shot through in advance before you address the ball. Draw a mental image of where you want it to go and then eliminate everything else from your mind, except how you are going to get the ball into that preferred spot.

I shot a wild elephant in Africa thirty yards from me, and it didn't hit the ground until it was right at my feet. I wasn't a bit scared. But a four foot putt scares me to death.
