Tips for the mental game from Dr. Bob Rotella

Just finished reading Golf is Not a Game of Perfect.  Unlike mechanical tips that could throw your swing off, mental tips can only help.

The crux of the book is that once you step on the golf course, you must trust the swing you have.  There can be no teaching or correcting on the course.  When you are preparing to hit a shot, your focus has to be only on the target, not on any mechanical parts of the swing.  Your natural ability will allow you to hit it to the target, and hit it well.  You must maintain this confidence and focus for every shot, whether your last shot was shanked into the woods or hit tight to a pin.
