PERFECTIONISTS

Golf can make people too much of a perfectionist. We know that golf can never be perfected, it is a 'game of mistakes and unpredictable fortune', words of Bob Rotella. Yet golfers beat themselves up because they can't achieve perfection. The root of the problem starts with faulty assumptions and irrational beliefs. If you are hard on yourself, realise that humans are not perfect and failure is a natural part of sport.

Perfectionists think they have a great attitude, but they don't!

Emphasize fun and the process of performing.

Don't dwell on mistakes, mistakes happen.

Be more patient with yourself.

Play within your capabilities.
