Course anxiety
Building Course Anxiety into Your Practice Routine
Practice with consequence so anxious moments feel familiar rather than frightening.
Build anxiety into practice on purpose
A useful routine includes one-ball tests, random targets, and moments where you must restart if you rush. That is how the range begins to resemble the course.
Weekly structure
| Session | Mental skill | Golf task |
|---|---|---|
| Range | Commitment | Random club, full routine |
| Short game | Acceptance | One-ball up-and-downs |
| Putting | Reset | Step away after a rushed stroke |
Keep notes
Write down one moment when the routine held. Anxiety shrinks when your memory includes evidence that you handled it.
