Hehe..in fact if I lost the crowd of my blog readers, there is no surprise. Seriously, I nearly forget about this blog of mine. So sorry guys. And today I kinda think of it and in fact yes, there is the reader who post up to me saying..please update.
Hmm..I don't know how long will I take before I update my this blog again, because I'm now in my most hectic week ever. But I'll get back to you all ASAP. sigh..really sorry guys..
in fact I didn't update since Garcia lost his bout up until Tiger have won the PGA Championship. Congrats, Tiger. Anyway let me post up today entry with something about mental golf again.
And this is seriously very applicable to me right now because it's been like 2 months since I last went to the driving range as there is no range of golf courses around Cyberjaya. Even if there is any, I don't have any car to drive around to have a couple swing. That ain't important..today's entry will be all about players who still play golf, but really rare probably due to studies, laziness or whatsoever. And how mental affect the game.
Okay..Many of us sure have a period or time when you feel like just give up the game of golf and pursue on other sports or just sick of playing badly. If you ever think about it, all I can say is you are not a good golfer enough. And seriously, you are not a GREAT SPORTSMAN as well. I, however, hmmm..can't be consider as someone who give up golf. I still have the passion in golf, the enjoyment of playing and winning if possible and of course the challenges in golf that taught me so much things. I still enjoy reflecting on how last time I used to play golf. I'm still keen on playing golf but then when go back to my hometown, I rather stay at home and relax. Not a good sign but definitely, I'll touch back all my stuff when I'm working next time. Study in University now, hmmm..really don't give those ample time to think about golf. hihi..
Alright, let's put it this way. You have been absent in golf for months and feeling wanto get back to the game. You feel like brushing up your game by going to driving range first. You think overnight to plan how you want to be a golf enthusiast again. But when it comes to the time like 4pm for you to go to the range, you are too tired to do it. What I can say is, flap your butt, get your set and HALLELUJAH..driving range, here we go. The first step of trying to go to the range is important, as it builds something in your brain that I want to pursue something. And in range, don't force yourself. Try to get back our swing and swing comfortably. A lot of players who return to the game will find it even more discouraging are mostly because of their high-expectation to play well. That shouldn't be the case, as we should know that humans ain't perfect and definitely, we have very very rough edges around here and there. So just be patience and you don't have to whack 200 balls just because you think it can helps you get back to your performance..NO!!! Hit sufficient balls like 100 probably, just to get your routine started. If you feel like you want to achieve more, then go ahead with 50 balls stacking up. Don't just go there and hit a ball blindly. I once read from Tiger's book of How I Play Golf..that Tiger mentioned that 'one of his most effective training may only require him to hit 20 golf balls'. What he is stressing on is about the QUALITY..not the quantity. So for people like me who nearly lost touch in golf, we should learn to train more quality short than hitting so much that turns out no results. Be patience in golf, and let the time do the job..
