Pressure can sharpen you

Handled well, confidence under pressure gives your attention somewhere useful to go. You notice the lie, the wind, the landing spot, and your routine. Handled poorly, you notice only the trouble.

Build a pressure script

  • See the shot.
  • Say the target.
  • Make one rehearsal.
  • Swing to the finish.

Coach’s tip: A routine is not magic. It is a handrail when your mind gets loud.

After the shot

Judge the decision first. A good decision with a poor swing is still a decision worth keeping. That distinction protects confidence during a round.
