FCWT Mental Game Series # 4 Letting Go of Others
 “Letting Go of Others”
Dr. Bob Winters
FCWT Mental Game Series
© Copyright 2009
Note: This is the 4th article in a series that is aimed at getting you ready to play in the FCWT national tournament. In this article, Dr. Bob explains why sometimes we become fearful of playing with golfers with “established reputations and big names” and why the worry prevents you from playing to your potential.
Dear Dr. Winters,
When I am in a big tournament or when I play with “name” players, I become nervous and I don’t trust myself. I worry that I won’t play well or worry about what they will think of me as a player. I tend to lose my focus and mess up my shots and I end up with a high score. How can I get rid of the doubt and not embarrass myself?

FCWT Mental Game Seminar # 3
© Copyright 2009 Dr. Bob Winters
“Make Every Shot Count!”
Note: This is the 3rd article in a series that is aimed at getting you ready to play in the national tournament. In this article, Dr. Bob explains the value of always giving your best into each shot, no matter how you stand in relation to score.
Question: “Dr. Bob, when I am in a tournament and I am not doing well, I become frustrated and impatient. I start to lose my focus and more importantly, my enthusiasm for playing the game. I sometimes feel that I just want to give up if I can’t win or do well. It isn’t that I actually do, but it feels that way. I just don’t give it my best. Do you have any suggestions that might help me?” Christopher W. Ashland, Ohio
