Master these mental game principles to lower your score without changing your swing.
Identify danger → choose realistic club → pick an intermediate target → use the ball line → prioritize solid contact.
Point at trouble, say it aloud, then choose a line that removes it from play.
Choose for your real strike, not a perfect one.
Aim at a spot 2–12" ahead on your line to focus.
Use the ball's line to reinforce aim—tee and green; fairway for casual play.
Smooth tempo. Solid contact beats maximum speed.
