Confident?
Yesterday I mentioned my massive fxck up.
Getting injured
When the goal of Golf fitness is to be better
than yesterday,
WITHOUT injury.
And to let you know that this is probably the
email that will make you most think.
"yeah of course dickhead"
Confidence comes from confidence.
Example.
You're on the practice putting green.
Sinking putt after putt.
But you are not 100% confident yet because
it's "just the practice putting green"
Your real test will come when you are on the
course.
First hole you sink a 5 footer.
Second hole you lag a 20 footer to a tap in.
At what point do you feel confidence in your
putting.
How many holes 1,2 10.
But what if on the 9th you miss a 5 foot with
a lot of break after putting well on the
previous 8 holes.
On the 10th you now have a similar putt.
Question - are you confident?
What was you first thought.
Was it NO cos I've just missed a similar putt
recently meaning missed this type
of putt 100% of the time.
Or
Yes cos 90% of the holes I've putted on today
I've putted well.
Both of these answers are "stats wise" correct
However.
The difference is just perception.
And perception is just your interpretation to
the information.
And the way you do that is based on your
BELIEFS.
Ie "I am not a good putter" "I know my luck
will run out"
All the positive thinking the world will not
change you beliefs.
But continued success will.
Getting results will.
And changing your thoughts (more on this
another day)
Confidence comes from your previous WINS.
Track your wins EVERY day.
That way you will remember your 8 good ones
as aposed to the 1 bad one.

PS If you want to know if you are putting
well.
My man James Skelton will sort that out for
you.
He could tell you what the tour average for
the THAT putt would be.
You will be surprised

See you tomorrow where I will tell you how
tracking my wins pulled me out of the pit
this week.
