Another really nice benefit that Ping Golf Clubs have is each club has a serial number. You ask why this matters. Well let’s say you just played a shot with your favourite 7 iron and didn’t know there was a big rock under your ball. You here that sickening sound of metal on rock. Ouch! You look and there is a large ugly gash on the bottom of your favourite iron. Basically it is ruined. Well because it’s part of a set with a specific serial number, your Ping Golf Club can be replaced with an exact copy. Another thing you don’t get when you buy off the rack.
If we as amateur golfers want to improve our game we have to refocus our Mental Game of Golf to the things that we want to happen. We have to stop the negative thoughts from creeping into focus. We have to start focusing on the positive things in our game. When we address the ball, the only thing that should be going through our minds is hitting the target we have chosen.
There are millions of us amateur golfers who struggle with the Mental Game of Golf all the time.
It was once said by Bobby Jones “the toughest course around is the six inches between our ears.” What an unbelievably true statement!
We struggle with swing thoughts, mechanics, tempo, alignment. We are intimidated by hazards on either side of the hole. We think “I don’t want to go right there is out of bounds over there” or “don’t go left there is a water hazard there.” Inevitably when we think about the things that we don’t want to happen, we have opened the door and our Mental Game thoughts take over. The result is we are either OB or in the water hazard.
