"Can't Complete the Low Round?
"Improve Your Golf Mental Toughness"
Every golfer has heard the saying "It's all in your head" or "Golf is 90% mental" or "Golf is the most mentally demanding sport in the world." Yet what do golfers do about it? Well, most often absolutley nothing! Not necessarily because they don't want to, but sometimes golfers actually think the mental game doesn't matter to them!
Click Here to Unlock Your Mind and Shoot Better Golf
EVERY golfer can benefit from increasing their mental toughness and harnessing the full power of thier mind!
Many golfers naively get stuck into thinking that the mental game only matters for elite players or pros who make a living golfing. Nonsense! EVERY golfer needs to use their mind properly.
-
It is your mind that determines how well you learn when taking lessons. (and this training course is packed with accelerated learning techniques that will have you absorbing more from lessons)
-
It is your mind that will allow you to set up to the ball correctly and commit to your swing (or not!).
-
It is your mind that will either stay focused under pressure and get you to make a smooth, fluid stroke when you need to drain an 8 footer for the win, or have you choking like a dog and collapsing like a house of cards when the heat is on!

"When you have a chance to shoot the lowest score of your life, you won't choke - You Will Go Low!"

Rules Review
It has been suggested that there should be a series of Rules scenarios for you to solve. So begins a series of problems titledWhat's the Score?
Doc Miller has graciously agreed to allow me to share these with you that he has been sending since July 2009.
I will include one each week. You should try to determine the answer based upon your knowledge of the Rules when ever possible and then use your Rule book to confirm.
There will be no trick questions or hidden information.

Question from week #360
Jodie’s tee ball has come to rest on a steep slope of grass that runs into the bunker below. Her ball is at rest up against a small piece of branch from a nearby tree.
She removes the piece of wood and her ball rolls into the bunker. She retrieves her ball and drops it as near as possible to the spot where it originally lay, but it again rolls into the bunker. After repeating this drop/roll into the bunker/retrieve one more time, she places the ball on the slope where her ball was originally at rest.
Unfortunately as soon as she removes her hand away, the ball moves down the slope. This happened again and she tried a few inches to the side, same result. Finally after moving a few feet laterally, she finds what she feels is the nearest spot where her ball will remain at rest, and places her ball there. She takes four more strokes to complete the hole.
What is Jodie’s score for this hole?
A. 5
B. 6
C. 8
D. 10
===================================================
Answer
B - 6 strokes total.
Jodie found her tee ball at rest against a loose impediment which she was entitled to move. If the ball subsequently moves as well, she is penalized one stroke and is required to replace the ball.
She is not penalized for mistakenly dropping when she should have simply replaced, as she eventually tried to replace her ball on the correct spot. The procedure/technique she used to find a spot where the ball would remain at rest is the correct one (R20-3d).
===============================================

Tour Weather Guidelines:
Primarily, we adhere to the same guidelines that the PGA Tour uses: If the course is open, we're going to play.
The only exception to this is that I'll never put any of you in harm's way during an event because of dangerous weather. (i.e. - lightening or severe cold and wetness).
In other words, I won't let the course "bully" us into playing where an unsafe condition might exist.
Because I arrive at every event at least two hours prior to the start time and I generally have to leave my house at least an hour before that to get to the course, there is no sense calling me just before the event, because I won't be at the office. The best avenue to take is to call the course if the weather seems threatening.
If you are on the roster for the event, and you do not get a cancellation notice from the course after calling them, you are expected to show up in time for the scheduled shotgun start.
