Myth #3
Positive thinking brings positive results
It doesn't take most golfers long to realise that saying "I'm going to hole this putt" doesn't work. But when that putt fails to drop it does bring a feeling that you have nowhere left to go, and a disillusionment with the mind game.
The more useful approach here is to distinguish between positive thinking - which ultimately is a prediction of a future you can't be certain of - and asking positive questions.
"What does a good shot look like?" and "Is it possible that I could hole this putt?" are examples of positive questions that put you in your most effective frame of mind, while making no rash forecast on what is about to happen that can so easily be proved false.
Check back in tomorrow for the 4th and final instalment of these Mental Myths!
