Mental Golf Or Course Management For High Handicappers

I have just started playing golf this year and I am addicted. I am wondering though, can the mental golf game help a high handicap golfer?

You bet! I have seen it myself. You will hear people refer to it as the mental game of golf and you will hear others refer to it as course management as well.

Ben Hogan always said that if he could tell an amateur what club to hit and where to try to hit it that they would be able to average a score of 75. This is how important and how dramatic of a part that the mental golf game can play in determining your golf score.

Many players do not include course management in to the mental part of their game. They stand on a tee and literally have no plan at all on how they are going to play the golf hole. This is silly as they do not do that in many other things in their life whether it is a business meeting or driving somewhere new. You also start with coming up with a plan, first.

A recent example I had with new golfer took place on the tee box. They automatically went to the center of the tee to tee their ball up on a dog leg left. As most, this student usually hits the ball to the right. By moving them to the right side of the tee box and telling them to aim at the left side of the fairway, they now had more fairway to hit. Of course they hit their usual shot but now it was in the fairway and not the rough and they felt great about it! They really hit the shot no better than previous drives on this hole, it was where they were aiming their cannon.
