You have more potential than you think.

I was a better player at 50 than I was at 30.

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.

Good golfing temperament falls between taking it with a grin or shrug and throwing a fit.
Sam Snead
Image
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.

Image
There is an old saying: if a man comes home with sand in his cuffs and cockleburs in his pants, don't ask him what he shot.
Sam Snead
Image
Of all the hazards, fear is the worst.
Sam Snead
Image
Don't just play your way around the course. Think your way around way around the course.
Sam Snead
Image
There are no short hitters on the tour anymore - just long and unbelievably long.

In golf, as in life, you get out of it what you put into it.
