Positive Golf Kudos ---

I read about the 15-under-par 56 recorded at Cattails GC in Alamosa, Colo. on September 5 by Jay Osmon, an assistant pro at the club. Osmon made five birdies and two eagles on the front nine and shot 26. His comment about the back nine was this: "On the back nine, I wasn't trying to think a whole lot. I knew I was playing well. I just wanted to stay out of my own way." Kudos to Jay for his accomplishment and his positive wisdom! "Staying out of your own way" is a key mental golf principle that helps lead to positive experiences on the course. The idea is to stay focused and on track and not let fears, doubts, distractions, frustrations, what-ifs, and other negative thoughts and feelings get in the way. It's great to see examples like Jay Osmon showing us how to put this into practice.

By the way, we have a new Positive Golf Workbook coming out soon that will provide tips, techniques, and exercises to help you develop this positive mental approach and "stay out of your own way" on the course so your great swing and great golf potential will really shine through. More news coming soon. Stay tuned...

Here's to great golf!
