2. Focus on Breathing: Deep, rhythmic breathing can help calm nerves and maintain focus Incorporate breathing exercises into your pre-shot routine to keep your mind clear and steady

3 Goal Setting: Set clear and achievable goals for your rounds and individual shots Plans give you a sense of purpose and motivation, helping you stay committed to each stroke.

4 Adaptability: Golf is unpredictable, and conditions can change rapidly Mental flexibility is critical. Adapt your strategy as needed, and don't let unexpected challenges derail your mental composure.

5 Stay Positive: Positivity can be your best ally Celebrate small victories, even a well-executed chip or a precise approach shot. Positive reinforcement can keep your spirits high throughout the round
