So many times I talk to my golfers about their round and they always want to blame a bad score on swinging the club poorly. It is only my seasoned veterans that can blame a bad score on a poor mental process.If you are trying to hit a 3 wood uphill, into the wind, over water, out of the rough, and you hit it in the water, the swing was not the problem. The normal player at the club needs to realize that you can’t always blame a bad round on swinging poorly. A lot of the time it's because their mental processes broke down and they hit the wrong shot for the situation they were in.Understanding how to navigate the course is even more important than having a good swing. If you are struggling with this, go visit your local PGA Professional and request an on-course lesson. — PGA Coach Brian Phelps
