Show WORRY LOSES GAMES FOR GOLFERS 01 4 walter hagn hagen british open champion lack of good judgment and attempting the almost impossible has lost more golf matches for both good and fair golfers than anything else it Is good philosophy to forget the missed shot and think about making the next one a good one one day in an a important match walter hagen hooked ills his tee tec shot out of bounch and someone sympathized with him and his reply was all I 1 have to do Is hole bole a long putt and I 1 will get it back this showed that he was not worried and sure enough on tile the second hole bole following he holed a putt from 30 feet walking to the next tee he said to his friend see I 1 got it back already there Is nothing worse than pressing your lour shot to try to make up for a bad one that you just juat played sometimes tile the results are very disastrous if we could train ourselves to forget badly played shots and hope to even it up by holing a long putt or sticking an approach dead to the pin we would lower our score and make the game much easier mentally the moral Is forget the bad ones one and concentrate on making good ones oneo |
