    The game of golf is almost more mental than it is physical. Having the ability to control one’s thoughts and emotions can turn good players into great ones.

When playing bad, all it may take is a change in mindset or attitude to get one back on track. Sometimes it’s a little change in swing thought that will turn one’s round around.…

I joined the golf team only a year ago, but I started golfing at a young age with my mom and my grandpa as my teachers.…
