IF YOU ARE BAD AT GOLF READ THIS!!!!

If you're new to golf or are just plain bad here are some tips to get super low rounds.

• Keep your head down-  One of the most common mistakes in golf is to try and watch your shot, as your hitting the ball.  If you focus on the ball and keep you head down through impact you are less likely to top it or miss completely.  "Staying down on the ball" also improves your ball striking, leading to better hit irons and more fairways and greens hit in regulation.
• Visualize your shot-  The game of golf is very tough mentally.  You will not  be able to just walk up and hit your shot by swinging.  You have to imagine yourself making a clean stroke before you even hit the ball.  This sets you up for success.  You also need to think of things that can affect your shot, things like wind, water, hazards, distance, softness of green, etc.  
• Stay confident-  You must trust yourself enough to make the shots that matter or the putts that count.  This is one of the most important things in the game of golf, if a golfer doesn't have confidence in their swing then they are pretty much hopeless.  
• Stay positive-  Golf is a very tricky game, and you will not always perform the way you want to.  But it takes positive thinking to get better.  If you are thinking negativly you are already set up for failure.  Think about the positives of each shot, rather than dwell on the negatives, at least you didn't hit it in the water, right?
• Be respectful-  Golf is generally a prestigous game.  Clubs usually have dress codes and have a low tolerance to horse play.  Follow the rules and don't do anything stupid.
