Mental tricks can greatly improve anyone’s game as everyone knows. It’s easy to defeat oneself if one does not prepare mentally. Recently I came across this observation that is well worth noting.

“You want to be a good golfer. So do you have an arena in which you can win and another where you can test your skills? There are club matches, one-day invitations, regional, provincial and national events. Are you participating at a level in which you can win? If the answer is no you need to gear back and enhance your resume before moving forward.

On the other hand, some people play comfortably with only two or three buddies year after year never testing their abilities at a higher level. They are pulling a Michelle Wie in reverse. If this describes your golf activity you could learn more from a bit of competition than from a week of hitting balls on the range. Occasional higher competition will stretch your abilities and keep you moving steadily forward.”

Michelle Wie never won on the LPGA Tour and was trying to break into the men’s tour. The point of enacting realistic goals is pivotal in moving forward. It’s good to test yourself against the competition, but it’s equally important to gain seasoning before you move up in class.
