The mind is a beautiful thing

As I read the book Golf is Not a Game of Perfect, I realize how important the mind really is to success. Playing yesterday with Pops I tried to make my mind work for me. It worked. My biggest weakness has always been my putting. This weakness is not in my stroke but always in my mind. I believed I was a bad putter, and it showed on the greens. But that is going to end. Yesterday, I believed I would make all my putts. When I missed a putt I was shocked I did not make it, instead of shocked when I made one. I made a lot of putts yesterday. When I had a long putt I came close to making it, and when I had a short putt I made it. I only missed one short putt all day. So today we put my putting to the test as I play with the guys for some money. More pressure so I will see if my mind holds up. If you struggle with putting I highly recommended in believing you are going to make the putt, and stepping up and letting it go. Here is to hearing the beautiful sound of the bottom of the cup!
