Despite the hope held out by "hot" golf balls, revolutionary new shafts and ultra-forgiving clubheads, the sad truth is that only a small percentage of golfers ever improve.

Handicap statistics compiled by the National Golf Foundation and United States Golf Association show that most golfers establish a level of competency after a few years and afterward seldom vary in ability by more than a stroke or two.

The answers probably can be traced to improper training. Golfers tend to get wrapped up in equipment issues and are consumed by the physical game.

They tend to ignore the mental side of golf and mastering the short game.

Improvement in golf doesn't come from some "magic move" you can order from a telemarketer. Nor is it likely to be found in the latest new swing theory.

After all, the fundamentals of the modern swing have been in place for more than a half-century, ever since people like Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen and Bobby Jones emerged as America's first golf heroes.

Improvement in golf can only be achieved by building, through repetition, a reasonably consistent swing and then conquering the mental roadblocks of fear,
anxiety and negative self expression, which undermine performance.

The mental aspect of the game is probably the most important, especially for better skilled players. This page will provide links to improve your mental skills at playing golf.
