Mental Fitness

Golfers with a strong mental game realize that the present is all that they can control. Playing in the present is exactly what it is -- the present. You are in the present when you are without any thoughts or concerns about the past or future. Nothing else exists except the present and the truth of your circumstances. Your past brought you into the present and how well you do in the present will create your future. Any thoughts about the past or future take you out of the present and affect your ability to perform to your full potential in the moment, which is all you have.

Golf requires an individual to keep improving his or her mechanics and to play in the present one shot at a time. This requires tremendous and more complex mental-discipline.They have learned to play in the present without concern about the past or future outcomes. They realize the power of just being in the moment with the full intention and expectation to accomplish their desires without attachment to the results. When they are at their best, they play on instinct and trust their subconscious or "it" to make it happen for them.
