We\'ve all, at some point in our golf careers, had a match or a tournament that we\'ve either won or really wanted to win. What separates winning from finishing behind the winner? Here are several things that players need to do to put themselves in a position to win. Whether you are a low and or high handicapper, there are commonalities to look for.
First you must play within yourself. This means that you don\'t attempt any shots that you have not practiced many times beforehand. If you are a fader of the golf ball and the shot calls for a draw then don\'t try to hit this shot. Play to your strength and not your weakness.
Secondly, play the golf course and not your opponent. This is where many players get caught up in the moment. They try to keep up with their opponent in driving distance, hitting clubs that they cannot get to the green, trying shot shapes that don\'t fit their stroke pattern and a host of others things.
Thirdly you must prepare for the event. This means charting the course and the greens even if you have played the course many times before. Develop a strategy for how you are going to play the course and pick the holes that you can attack and the ones you will need to be a little more conserative on. If you are an aggressive type of personality then you must attack, attack, attack! But pick your spots to be aggressive.
