GAME 1
DEAL WITH PRESSURE OF PLAYING FOR SCORE
Start from the forward tees – when you man-age to get to two under par (net), move to the tees you would normally play and maintain this score (net) for three more holes.
- If your score gets to plus two (net), reset
- If you three-putt at any time, reset
- If you fail to maintain the two under (net) when you move back, reset.
- Once you complete the above, repeat the game but start from the set of tees one back from where you started the previous task.
How does this help?
Through having the psychological stress of an outcome or scoring target thrust upon us in practice, we can start to implicitly build the coping strategies to deal with this stress in tournament play.
