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

Sam Snead
You've just one problem. You stand too close to the ball after you've hit it.
Sam Snead
Practice puts brains in your muscles.
Sam Snead
But you don't have to go up in the stands and play your foul balls. I do.
Sam Snead
The only thing I fear on a golf course is lightning...and Ben Hogan.
