Why are you hitting bad shots in golf? What are the benefits of responding positively to your losses?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sore losers never get far on the course. When you hit a few weak shots during a round of golf, you need to brush it off and move on to the next round. Otherwise, the rest of your game could be ruined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continue reading to learn how to pick yourself up after a bad game, using advice from Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect<\/em> by Bob Rotella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Respond Positively to Adversity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Choose to respond positively when things don\u2019t go your way on the golf course<\/strong>. Even the best golfers are virtually guaranteed to hit one or two bad shots in golf rounds. Given that mistakes are inevitable, you\u2019ll need to learn how to move on from them successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Just as Rotella writes that bad shots are an unavoidable reality of golf, business leaders argue that failure is an inevitable part of being an entrepreneur. In some cases, the experience of failure can be a good thing, as the bitterness of failure can make your subsequent successes feel more meaningful<\/a>. This maxim can also be true in golf\u2014the disappointment that comes from a poor shot makes it even more satisfying when you hit the perfect recovery.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rotella notes that many golfers let bad shots derail them. Often, golfers will attribute bad shots to swing flaws and return to the kind of technical thinking that only leads to more bad shots. Or, golfers will become angry or distressed and fixate on the bad shot, distracting their focus from the next shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Obsessively focusing on your failures can hurt your mental health in addition to your golf game. Psychologists refer to this kind of obsessive thinking as rumination<\/a> and note that it\u2019s often associated with anxiety and depression<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of letting a few bad shots ruin your round, Rotella recommends that you develop strategies for learning to accept bad shots and move on. Specifically, try to lower your expectations<\/a>, learn to laugh at your mistakes, and focus on enjoying playing the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: In addition to Rotella\u2019s strategies, it can also be helpful to perform a physical ritual to reset after a bad shot. Golf pros suggest adjusting your hat, retying your shoelaces, or performing any other physical action<\/a> that helps draw your attention away from your mistakes.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best ways of dealing with poor shots is by preemptively lowering your expectations before each round begins. While you should confidently believe that you\u2019re capable of hitting great shots, if you expect every shot to be great, you\u2019ll always be disappointed. Instead, you should try to accept the fact that poor shots are inevitable and expect to make a few mistakes each round. If you expect to occasionally hit a weak shot, you\u2019ll feel less deflated when it happens and more prepared to respond to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: To manage expectations, avoid making comparisons about your play. Experts note that golfers often base their expectations on their past strong shots or on strong shots by other golfers<\/a>. Making these kinds of comparisons can lead to feelings of inadequacy and frustration, which can distract you from the game and hamper your performance.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a bad shot happens in the middle of a round, laughing<\/a> things off can help to diffuse your anger and anxiety about the shot. This can be an especially effective strategy if you\u2019re golfing with friends or a familiar caddy. Turning to others who can help you find the humor in difficult moments can turn bad shots into great memories in addition to helping you get on with your round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Rotella\u2019s assertion that laughter can help you recover from bad shots is backed by medical science. Laughter has been shown to improve circulation, relax your muscles, and even relieve pain<\/a>. If you find that you\u2019re experiencing physical symptoms of stress on the golf course, laughter may be an effective remedy.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, when bad shots happen, remember that golf is a game and that the point of the game is to have fun. For most competitive golfers, there\u2019s obviously more at stake than simply enjoying a round, but Rotella argues that competitive focus shouldn\u2019t come at the cost of sheer enjoyment of the game. Rotella recommends that you remember the reasons you chose to pursue golf in the first place and remind yourself that if you\u2019re able to take time to spend a day golfing, you\u2019re in a lucky position. Remembering to have fun on the course can help put bad shots in perspective, enabling you to better move on from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Not only can having fun<\/a> help you move on from bad shots, but it can also help improve your performance overall. Studies have shown that productivity significantly increases in workplaces where employees are encouraged to have fun<\/a>. Not only that, but having fun has also been shown to help you retain new information<\/a>, which could help you strengthen your golf game in the long run.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
